THIS is what I believe is most important to Ramsey.Unless you read a report from a reliable Rams' source, I would not be too concerned.
If you visit the Rams' Team site, there's hundreds of photos from the Rams' post-game celebration. Ramsey is prominent in many photos. He's hugging Stafford on the field, he's posing with Weddle and the Lombardi Trophy, he's holding his child and hugging his partner, he's sitting in the confetti with half-a-dozen family members, he's mugging for the camera with teammates in the locker-room.
Also see where Ramsey has been active on twitter; and posted the following:
"SUPER BOWL CHAMPSGod is great ALL GLORY TO GOD THANK YOU JESUS
… YALL CANT SAY ABOUT MY CAREER NOW BTW God bless"
Good point with the star position, and that's what i'm alluding to in terms of maybe Raheem directed him and the trainers to change his body a bit in preparation for that role. Ramsey is already a big physical corner, but i could see the rationale of the trainers wanting him to build more bulk up top to accommodate mixing it up inside like a LB.
He looked better outside a year ago, although he was rarely tested.
Ramsey has been getting some crap for his play during the SB.
Being in position to intercept an underthrown pass while the defender yanks on your facemask throwing you forward while your head does a 180 should not even be considered.
He had two other big plays by him of which turned into only three points.
Found this video that was a more fair analysis of how well Ramsey played Chase.

I didn't really see him after the game or at any of the post-game celebrations.
It's just strange because a guy with his reputation as a big mouth, you would expect for him to be screaming from the rooftops right now, but there just seems to be radio silence. Especially when compared with McVay, Stafford, big Whit, Von, and even notoriously quiet guys like AD and Cooper Kupp.
Hope he's not pouting, but I think he's grown up enough for that not to be the case.

Maybe. But I can't help that Ramsey is one of the only Rams I worry about right now, personality wise. I believe he has bought into the "we not me" mindset, but he is undoubtedly one of the poutiest players on this team when things aren't going his way and him punching Taylor Rapp still leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. And this might be unfair and there's no way to tell exactly what's going in someone's personal life but him leaving leaving Golden Taint's pregnant sister for another woman just doesn't sit right with me.The media impression of Jalen (esp pre-Ram time) seems way different than the real life actual man Jalen.
Yes exactly he played well if you look at the entire game. He had two bad plays, the long ball to Chase who made an incredible one handed catch, and the late throw to Chase when he tried to jump the route. That's it, two plays. Someone posted a Twitter cut up of every snap in the SB and he played pretty great. Of course that won't be the narrative though.
- He gave up a long ball on an incredible catch by one of the best WRs in the game. This is incomplete to 99% of WRs
- Same drive, he played great D to hold them to a FG
- He would have had an INT, but was pulled down by his facemask, leading to a bogus TD
- Basically took their best WR out of the game the rest of game
- ...except the last drive when he bit on a pass he shouldn't have, worst thing to do when the Bengals need to drive the field for a tying FG, but it worked out
None of this parade stuff bothers or alarms me. It's just more noise
However, does Ramsey need his inner ear checked? Multiple times this year and especially going one-on-one in the playoffs his balance and body control looked plain bad to me. Very top heavy. I understand that he doesn't have blazing speed and there are many WR's who can beat him straightaway, but none of that has anything to do with body control when he's right there with his man and the ball is incoming.
Did he play at a different weight or body type this season?
