All Things Rams - Stafford Thread

[froot loops]

Weddle was the most underrated acquisition for my Rams. Their back end was awful, he settled them down.

Eric Weddle retired to become a High School football coach.

Its the new path to being an NFL coach ... player -> HS coach -> NFL Head coach

Super Bowl-winning Rams give credit to Lions GM Brad Holmes: ‘You’re a part of this’

The NFL chose them because LA loves them, not the Raiders. They are an Oakland team. It never worked in LA for them.

Lol. Marc Davis could fart in a microphone and more LA people would tune in to that then your butt boys SB.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said Tuesday he had a procdure this offseason. He did not go into detail.

Jourdan Rodrigue of TheAthletic.com reported last month that Stafford received an anti-inflammatory shot in one arm and wore a brace briefly to limit his range of motion while healing.

Stafford said he “will be better in the long run” after the procedure, whatever the procedure was.

Stafford, 34, completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 4,886 yards with 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. It marked the 10th time in the past 11 seasons that Stafford has played every game.

And, after going 0-3 in the postseason in Detroit, Stafford led the Rams to four postseason victories and the Super Bowl title.

Let's go

Stafford got Kupp paid.

How do the Rams afford all these guys? Stafford, Cupp, Donald, and Allen Robinson all got massive new deals...Maybe we should have hired their capologist instead of Brad Holmes?

The cap grows every year, they are pushing the cap hits into the future. The Lions don't have the players right now to worry about this. The job right now for the Lions is getting the talent to worry about that.

These amounts of cash just blows the mind. What blows the mind is the process getting to that amount.

“Ok Cooper, we have a $40M guaranteed deal here for 3 years.”
”Fuck that. Wouldn’t get out ma bed for that. Besides, there’s another team offering 60.”
“Ok, 65 then?”
”Nope.”
“Come on, you greedy bastard. 70?”
”Go 90 but guaranteed 80.”
”How about 80, guaranteed 75?”
”Aye ok, you’ve twisted my arm.”

ha!

it’s absolutely crazy with the money that’s being spent.

They kicked the can into the forced rebuild. They might keep Kupp after other two's contracts are up. But this is obviously a push to maintain the current group to maximize their chance of getting back in the next 2 years. But they are going to have a year of about 75 million in dead cap somewhere in their future. Probably 2024. Then Mcvay gets like 7 years to rebuild.

The underrated part of the Rams success is they have a lot of homegrown players on the roster even after saying Fuck Dem Picks.
