One might argue this is what happened in Green Bay, except it was Aaron Rogers with the security and power. 4yrs / $134MM
Mike McCarthy was dismissed for a slumping offense, but Rodgers sort of made that an issue.

Yeah I agree. There is a lot of young taken stepping up.
He's a Kupp. I'd expect good sound fundamentals from him. The question is, is he athletic and explosive enough to play against starters.

Agree - that's Webster, right? I really liked what I saw out of him and Green.

Some breakdown of what I watched.... Main Focus Offensive Line & Other Positions
Offensive Line....I'm now officially off the Jamil Demby bandwagon, wow, just all sorts of issues including the penalties. I have never been so happy to see Aaron Neary back at Center, Jamil seems to really struggle at tackle, which he played at Maine and is better at Guard, but not much. I understand the versatility, but to this point I would keep Chandler Brewer and it's not even close.
Bobby Evans....I thought Evans played much better and seems a better fit at RT than LT. Some good blocks and was much better in pass protection.
David Edwards...Improvement in game two and he played mostly at Left Tackle. Still needs to get stronger, but that will come in time, the footwork was there and the position did not look too big for him in this game.
Aaron Neary....You can tell he is the most experience of the bunch, his snaps are good, you could see Allen have issues with Demby even under Center and Neary has done a nice job in pass protection too.
Chandler Brewer....Big difference with Brewer staring over Kolone and I thought he played really well. Most of the bigger runs came off of his blocks and his man was always in front of him. Rams really need to give him more time because he might be a keeper and was far better than Jamil Demby.
Jeremiah Kolone....Not very good and I would give him less time and look at Brewer and Hitner much more.
Natrez Patrick...Love players from Georgia, he's a keeper and I am feeling much better about the linebacker position as this kid looks really good and has the size to play inside too and they might need him there.
Dont'e Deayon....Love how the kid gets his head around Rams are deep at Corner Back and it feels so nice I like the way this kid covers.
It's somewhat frustrating to watch the offense as the Rams just are not scoring and I understand the philosophy for preseason, but it does not make it any easier to watch. The offense really has not put together good drives and at times Allen & Wolford are under duress.
BTW Nsimba Webster....I would give him more time as the punt returner and if he can showcase the ability to do the job keep him over Natson, but again I believe this coaching staff really likes JoJo and not really sure why.

I don't understand their Natson fixation. He was solid, but not great as a punt returner with two muffs last season in not that many opportunities. He is unlikely to ever be a significant receiver on this team. He is entering his third season, meaning that he will be a RFA after this season and IF he is valuable this season he will be at least a bit more pricey. Put somebody more reliable back there, who has a realistic chance of being useful to the Rams elsewhere, too.

I believe the Rams are coming to that realization and Nsimba Webster is the reason. Webster has some juice and although did not return many punts in college, that was because he was too valuable as a WR and not because he doesn't have the ability. Here's hoping Webster wins the job.

Neary, Evans, Edwards appear to be the only keepable reserve OL.
Saw a little more out of Allen at QB. Threw a couple of nice balls as did Bortles.
Mundt is wrapping up the third TE spot the more the other candidates play.
Nice to see Oko actually get on the field. He drew 2 or 3 holding flags and seems to be able to get under OL. You can see he has some pass rush ability. How that would translate against starters it’s hard to say.
Seemed a little better showing by Smart and Day.
The the first two games will present a tremendous challenge for the Rams “new” run D.
I think the Rams will end up keeping 7 WRs.
No idea about LB depth.
Dakota Allen flies around. Reeder didn’t look as good and got tossed. For being a vet Hagar still takes bad angles and like Kiser seems a step slow.
Too bad the Rams can’t convert some of the depth at DB to DL or LB.
Rapp just jumps out. May already be one of the better tacklers on the team.

Should remove that rule from the books. I'd a QB wants to run he should lose QB protection, in my opinion.
