Timing is everything.

All kidding aside I have been watching video of Stafford that last couple days, ones that show good and bad and I say I am kinda excited to see what happens. I think it will be better and think the rest of team will step up as well and play even better.

Plus he seems like a really cool dude and great family man. And our wives have the same name.

GO RAMS!

What page on this thread was the gift from Lions fans to us with the Stafford clips?

That's further smoke like what I was talking about earlier.

Where are the players.

It's been days and how many players gave him one of those "was epic to play with you. Go get it in Detroit!" type messages?

I'm not on the insta... hate instagram, but I'm on twitter and haven't seen a single mention.

Glad Whit's wife said something because someone should...

Nobody is kicking Sean McVay while he is down or on his way out. He just got his guy. We're all rams fans and 99.999 love McVay. We just don't like how it was handled.

So we should stop saying that we didn't like the public way the team handled it because there are several people here who feel Jared should get even more shit on his way out?
That's the "simple" logic?
Dude, then those several people are pretty damn childish.

The young dude who many of us were actual fans of, the kid who has been ripped the entire time, the same one who is now moving to Detroit from his home state after not being told they were moving on (except through weird interviews to the media) is the one party in this scenario who never went low, never tried to hurt anyones value or tarnish anyones name or make jabs in tweets- despite the less than cool way that the situation went down.....

And so, if I want people to quit kicking him on his way out, I should keep my mouth shut about the organization kicking him on his way out????

You tried to make it simple, I appreciate that I guess...but you're comparing apples to astronauts.

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. You're free to say whatever you want, obviously. I don't think you should do anything differently.

Unless you want people to stop shitting on Jared.

It's a two way street - you are free to say that you didn't like how the team handled it, and other people are free to say that the team could have been within its rights to handle it even worse.

I was just saying all this because earlier you questioned why people were kicking Goff on his way out - that's why.



Think about this for a minute - really think about it - Gurley seemed to have an attitude problem the whole year even though he clearly had a knee issue. McVay covered that up for him AND took the blame for "not getting him involved more". Blythe has been pretty bad for almost three years, and certainly why we lost a few games - yet McVay never once called them out - why? Why would he call Goff out if Goff is so innocent in all this, when he's NEVER called another player out for the exact same type of play/regression (at their position) as Goff had?

The only truly logical conclusion is that Goff DID do something. Whether that's the work ethic thing, not taking McVay's feedback and applying it, etc.

If your kid sucks at math, they suck at math. But if they suck at math and don't implement the advice you give them and they still fail, you're going to be A LOT more upset.

McVay has ALWAYS despised unforced errors. He's never once called a player out for physically getting beat.

Finally, you say that Gofff "is the one party in this scenario who never went low, never tried to hurt anyones value or tarnish anyones name or make jabs in tweets- despite the less than cool way that the situation went down....."

How do we know he didn't just say something to McVay's face? Whether you believe the work ethic/other things or not, here are the facts as we know them:

Goff got traded
McVay no longer wanted Goff as our QB
Snead and McVay publicly made it a point to mention this - something they've never done before
Jared Goff turning the ball over in the Niner game led to McVay calling him out

These are pretty much the only facts that we have. The rest our opinions that we're all throwing in because we don't know. But what you're implying is that no matter what Goff said or did, McVay and Snead shouldn't have done what they did. So if Goff ignored McVay's feedback, wasn't staying late to work on his game, and if the team preferred Wolford - they still shouldn't have done that. If Goff looked McVay straight in the eye and said "I hope you get hit by a car" - McVay still shouldn't have done that.

Is this ridiculous? Yes, but to illustrate a point: we don't know why McVay soured on Goff, but given that McVay has ALWAYS taken the blame for other players performing poorly - including Goff up to the Niner game - the logical conclusion is that something changed in Goff's behavior that drove McVay to call him out publicly. No reason to really do that if he was receptive in private.

Maybe even if Goff did all those things, you still don't think McVay and Snead should have spoken in public - but now that he's been traded, I really don't see that they did anything wrong, even if Goff was completely innocent in all this. They basically telegraphed that he would be traded and then he was traded. That's not tanking his value (which is weird anyways - they gave him a record amount of guarantees).

One of Undisputed's best takes as a group. ED kills it. All three reading the situation well IMO.

And I think ED is correct re: Stafford will win a Super Bowl in LA. In fact I think they win it in 2021 and will be the first team ever to win the big game in their home stadium. Because Tampa will lose this one I think.

Ok let's go from the worst trades in history Hopkins for nothing to let's go to the other end of the extreme spectrum and go a billion miles even further beyond the extreme end.

Yeah the Rams are going to be even more stupid than us and go for that. Yeah I am going to go from a STUPID OWNER to a SMART OWNER in peoples eyes. Uh huh, you go ahead and think that - dumb ass.
