I don't think it diminishes how much I like Goff for me to say that I'm already loving Stafford.

This dude is fucking nails... for real.

I relate to this dude... a lot. Too much, sometimes.

But yeah... that he's mindful of the struggles of the workaday person out there is fantastic.

Absolutely agree, Goff is tough too. Not knocking him. But Stafford is on another level.

Can't wait to see how McVay will use Stafford and how Offense will change with a different QB. Hopefully it will be for the better. Now get us a FA Center and draft the BAP. I'm drinking the kool-aid boys

Yeah there has been a collective understanding around the league that Stafford is tough as fuck. I saw several players this year commenting over social media on how much of a warrior he was. It's a great leadership quality for sure to have this guy but it is a bit concerning, thats a lot of damage he sustained

I would hope that all the work that has gone (2019/2020) into our past QB from jumping into "Operational Turn Over Mode" when being pressured on most all pass plays will help our new QB in keeping him upright & unmolested.

Kromer will once again be tasked to field a well balanced (run vs pass) OL with all five OL positions having good pass protectors starting.

Hope he doesn't have to play through injuries with us in the first place, having an improved supporting cast compared to the 2020 Lions will certainly help

Yeah, that's concerning. He was knocked out of multiple games in 2020, and he missed half of the season in 2019. The Rams need him to stay healthy.

I don’t see this as good news at all.

I love how tough the guy is, but we need him healthy.

Yeah, I agree. We all know he's tough, but can he be reliable? That's the question I have.

Well from 2011-2018 he started all 16 games, missed 9 in '19 and started all 16 last year. He's proven that even with injuries, he can be a warrior and baller and play through them.

But yes I agree and hope the injuries stop.

I think everyone is quick to dismiss the fact that we have John 'The Wolf of Ball Street' patiently sitting behind Stafford ready to pick up the reigns. ;)

One of the better back ups in the league IMO.

I think that's a really good claim based on 1.1 games played.
