I don't have to neatly package them to easily disregard them. I can easily disregard them on an individual basis!

Personally, I'm not bothered by those who believe Shelton is not the right dude for the job.

More than likely, they were also convinced Allen wasn't the right dude for the job. And they were totally convinced we had to have Creed Humphrey.

So they can kvetch and complain, as wannabe GMs are apt to do, and I'll simply enjoy the success we have with who we've got.

As opposed to the wanna be GMs with our Simpson pick?


Couldn't resist you know for those that don't think hes the QB of the future.

"Better" in my book would be a Center who doesn't need to be protected by the OGs next to him. Who doesn't require help vs a strong NT.

Of course the metric that matters most is can we win a title with him anchoring our line. I'd say that is probably a yes, if this team stays healthy at key positions. We won the last one with Allen at Center after all. But time will tell.

How much of needing help from the OGs next to him is offset by the mental aspect though?

The opposite end of that spectrum is a center that needs to help, but the overall line play suffers because of his lack of mental acuity at the position

Should it be mentioned that both starting OG's beside CS missed a good amount of offensive snaps. Dotson missed just under a quarter of the regular seasons snaps, Avila for the 2nd yr missed 46% & 26% of the Offensive snaps. So reserve Ol'ers have been busy working next to CS during last season.

CS did not loose any big important elements of the 2025 OL unit. RT Havenstein & LT DJ Humphries were not positive contributors in 2025. So CS will get a opportunity to familiar with Swing OL'er rookie Keagan Trost to replace the 2 OT's mentioned above.

I think the Rams are in great condition going into Training Camp of various young talented reserve centers behind CS with Limmer/ McMahon/ Dedich & rookie Austin Blaske.

This is where you get into opinions. McVay clearly prioritizes those calls, perhaps that year with Limmer was such a drain on his QB that they said fuck this we need good calls. But the metric will be how we do in the playoff environment. Win it all and you can say he was good enough.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. He's in line to be but his story is barely beginning. Its 50/50 for any wanna be GM to be right. Too bad I can't get those odds for the lotto..... shit

What's really funny is we have posters here who shit their pants when Goff was traded and had meltdowns over it, but now they're all-in on acting as if the Rams taking Simpson is some form of gospel.

Exchanging opinions on players is the purpose of these boards. Acting like those whose opinions differs from your own opinion are somehow trying to be "wanna be GMs" is disingenuous at best.
