The writing was on the wall for awhile on this one, I doubt we'll get the kinda access to Rams info from the Athletic's next reporter but one hopes.

I'm not big into writers and could care less in general because it's more of the same but with Jordan she was one of the better ones I remember covering the rams. (outside of Bernie :laugh3:okay just kidding)

I' look forward to seeing her work covering the NFL and hopefully she'll make an appearance on Rams bros once and a while.

She’s been one of the best beat writers in the NFL. This was inevitable, honestly surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

Congrats to her!
Looking back, it was an interesting move by The Athletic to bring in a small market/out-of-market talent to cover the Rams.
Hopefully, the next person works out.

Yeah.. have seen it coming, like many others on here, and said as much many times.

Brilliant writer, was always destined for bigger.

I remember how much Rich was excited to bring her on before she came to cover the Rams. Wasn't misguided.

I liked her a lot, but it felt like she left me when the 11 Personnel podcast ended. The good ones always leave...

Good for her. She's a hard worker and has provided us with a ton of great content. Onward and upward.

Good for her but bummer for us. I don’t remember a beat writer that came close to what we got with her.

Good luck to her. She's been a great beat writer for the Rams, and whoever replaces her will have some big shoes to fill.

And Jordan, in case you read that, I mean "big shoes" metaphorically, not that you have big feet :laugh4:

Dude I always loved watching D'Marco give him shit and you could tell it would bother him but what's he going to do? lmao

Congratulations to Jourdan and now I will likely save $70 every year because she and her Rams coverage was the only reason I subscribed to the Athletic. If the next man up is that young guy she’d seemed to be grooming, then I don’t see any reason to continue subscribing.

Damn, best beat writer I can remember for our Rams. I'm sad she'll be gone.
