The #4 receiver with #3 production.
Okay, I didn't actually mention Allen, I said the Rams weren't in the market for a C in 2021. (Why? Because they had Allen.)
No I don't think Shelton or Allen is better than Humphrey. I said, the Rams weren't in the market for a C in 2021. They were in the market for a deep threat and they supplemented that need by drafting Tutu and signing DJax....(who wasn't used enough to his liking so they released him).
And NO, I'm not saying they should have drafted a #3 WR instead of a Pro Bowl center. I said, they weren't in the market for a C. This couldn't be any clearer.
If that's circular, I'm sorry.
Yes, I was busting on Ram fans for crying (for years) about Tutu over Humphrey. And yes, there's been a knot in some Rams fans shorts about Tutu since 2021, no matter what he does. They've "revamped their drafting strategy since drafting Tutu"? How? Did we draft a Pro Bowl center? I think the FACT they signed him to a 10 mil dollar deal says all there needs to be said about "revamping since drafting Tutu".
BTW, I don't know that Creed could have blocked Carter. In the Superbowl every time he blocked him it was a double team. And oddly enough, Carter was his guy only 4 or 5 times in pass pro (double teamed though). He had him about 4 or 5 times on run plays (double teamed again). There was a lot of times Creed was standing in the middle of the field as the other 4 guys were blocking D lineman. Hey, if I were calling the blocking assignments, I would make sure I had help if it was Carter I was blocking or I'd assign somebody else to block him. So I will say this.....in addition to being a Pro Bowl center, Creed is also a pretty smart guy.
