Big Whit

[Neil039]

I’d love to have him back, reality is he has done his due diligence since he signed here in 2017.

Why would his CAP be harder to figure out ? Wouldn't it just be another back-loaded/incentive filled contract extension of 2-3 years that isn't fully realized after he retires again following the season ?

Harder than if he just retired

LOL
OK, I guess you got me there.

Not a fan of McGinest but I usually like Garafolo (I am also a bald-headed-Italian, so we are almost related).

However they were Really Weak with this little interview.
Great example of the lazy and sloppy National Media.

In the full interview, Garafolo brought-up that Stafford (and Kupp) did not know it was fourth-down on the 4th-and-1 play. McGinest chimed in and everyone had a good laugh. Only problem is those two incompetent-idiots had the Wrong Play.

They thought it was the 4th-and-1 when the Rams were on offense and driving for the go-ahead-TD. The Kupp-end-around. These two morons thought the 13-year-QB (Stafford) and perhaps the most-aware player on the field (Kupp) did NOT know it was fourth down. Whitworth was too gracious to correct them.

Stafford commented afterwards that once they had taken the lead, and the defense went onto the field, he was kind of nervous and mostly had his head down. When Donald pressured Burrow on the final play to close-out the win, Stafford was not certain whether THAT Play was a fourth-down-play. He's on a mic (been replayed a thousand times) asking Skowronek immediately after the play if that was fourth down. Stafford also told Kupp this as they went to the stage to accept the Lombardi trophy and Kupp said he also did not know.

How does Mike Garafolo and Willie McGinest NOT know this?
They don't pay attention. That's how.

My biggest complaint about the National Media is that they are lazy, sloppy and arrogant.

Anyone got a link to that full interview?

Like I said, Whits retirement is no guarantee. Wayne Gretzky told him two rings are better than one recently.

If he stays Joe moves on and AJ becomes backup. It does make the cap harder to figure out.

I think he retires. But his cap shouldn't pose a problem if he comes back. They just created voided years and spread the cap hit out into the future. The bigger problem is losing Noteboom.

Retiring after this particular game and after beating the team that told him he was done would be so epic. But honestly if I'm him I'm gonna play until I can't block shit and the decision is forced on me. Because I know first-hand as a retiree he's gonna miss it. He'll have the rest of his life to hang out and be Dad.

Also I am hoping he returns on the cheap. That allows the Rams to maybe add a piece on the interior and him returning at LT means they can slot Alaric Jackson or whoever else they prefer behind him and not have to pay a LT on the market his first big contract because goddamn that will be pricey.

So what’s the word on Alaric Jackson? Does he have what it takes to anchor the LT position? At 6’7” 285 will they look to put 30-40 pounds on him or does he not need it?

10 to 1 he leaves.

Ain't going to happen. They even wrote a book about it called; You Can Never Go Home Again.

BTW, you forgot to include "Man Of The Year."

Sounds more like 50/50 to me

No idea. But with Whit returning, if that were to happen, they have time to find out.
