Sadly, so was Woods....There are plenty of talented, humble, “we not me” players in the NFL. Hell the Rams roster is loaded with them. However, Kupp is the epitome of everything that is great about the NFL and NFL players. I am excited, proud and confident that he will continue with the Rams for the rest of his playing career. I hope he continues with the Rams in coaching/front office positions when he hangs up his cleats. He is a truly special person above and beyond how special of a player he is.
Wouldn't it be something if we had some of our best players go on to become Rams coaches? It would be a real dream to have this organization not only continue to win but grow our own coaches too. I know... Pipe dream.There are plenty of talented, humble, “we not me” players in the NFL. Hell the Rams roster is loaded with them.

He had the greatest season of any Ram WR ever......and there have been some great ones....Ike in 95, Holt in 03, Harold Jackson in 73....and Hirsch's 51 season must have been something. Kupp's 2021 year rival's Dickerson's 83 and 84 seasons, Warner's 99 year. None of us will ever forget those. HOF doesn't matter. Witnessing what he did THROUGHOUT the regular season and playoffs should be ingrained in Rams fans psyche.I don't think he's a lock for the HOF just yet, but he definitely will be numbered with Ram greats after last season. I think we all feel something special will happen by him in the biggest moments of a game.
This was possibly the best interview by Cowherd that I've seen.
Used to be quite common among NFL teams, but product of a bygone era now....you never know though...Henry Ellard became a WR coach for us.Wouldn't it be something if we had some of our best players go on to become Rams coaches?

I don't recall it being common at all. Ellard I get but what team has/had former players as coaches? Not doubting you, I just don't recall but maybe one or two.Used to be quite common among NFL teams, but product of a bygone era now....you never know though...Henry Ellard became a WR coach for us.
Yeah, you have to go way back, to the 1950s and 1960s when NFL coaches used to recruit among their own alumni.I don't recall it being common at all. Ellard I get but what team has/had former players as coaches? Not doubting you, I just don't recall but maybe one or two.

Jason Garret played for the Cowboys for one. Bill Cowher for the Steelers. Bart Star for the Packers. Tom Flores for the Raiders. I think there has been quite a few. Not head coaches there have been a lot. Kevin Greene started out on the Pittsburg sideline, Sam Mills for Carolinea. Just random guys I thought of off the top of my head. It happened all the time and probably still is very common.I don't recall it being common at all. Ellard I get but what team has/had former players as coaches?

Absolutely spot on.Kupp had the greatest season of any WR ever.
When you look at the numbers and then add in the key plays in key moments in the regular season and playoffs, no one's had a better year, imo.
Tampa Bay, 9ers, Bengals... he made HUGE plays to win the game in all three.
I'm thinking 5 more years of Kupp being Kupp (and Donald and Stafford) and we could be Championship caliber each and every year. If that gets him in the HOF, great.I think three more years of production that are somewhere between last year and his previous best year get him into the HOF.
I think when you have a season like Kupp did last year, the career threshold numbers drop. Terrell Davis is kind of a template for that.Absolutely spot on.

What he's done to date is pretty impressive. The last 3 years, he's had more receptions and more yards than anybody. 92, 90 and 145 receptions, over 4,000 yards. More than Davante Adams, the guy many say is the best receiver. If Kupp catches 100 balls or there about, he will get what he deserves. Or has earned
