This Trade & signing could be REAL ?? I wouldn’t be surprised if,but then again there might be a better way. The question I have is this the direction The Rams will keep trending with ??

WTF ridiculousness is this...

Craig Carton (host on the left) is well known in New York.

Was the co-host of the popular Boomer & Carton Show for ten years (radio and simul-cast on CBS Sports).

Funny and creative guy but an arrogant asshole who never seemed interested in sports. Got arrested one morning going into work ... charged with securites and wire fraud for running a Ponzi Scheme. For an entire year whined that he was 'innocent and would be vindicated' ... that his trial would be the 'fight of his life'.

At trial, his entire defense lasted less than one day. Convicted of fraud. Sentenced to three years but served just one in a minimum security prison. Actually got his job back ... same radio station but a different time-slot (no longer with Boomer Esiason). Left for Fox Sports after a time.

Carton remains an arrogant piece-of-shit, who does not seem to even enjoy sports.

Well this would depress the fuck out of me. All though getting the #3 pick I'm all for I am not all for Rodgers. IF we traded Stafford I'd rather rent Jimmy G, Cousins, Fields, Darnold, whoever for one year before I'd ever offer money to Rodgers to come and be a distraction.

This was already posted,but still I have a different view .Think it is reasonable,but not sure Aaron Roger’s is that guy ?

My view is it’s time to move on and claim what value you got from Stafford-plus The Superbowl & playoff games.

Having a solid backup QB will be huge as well.Weather that be bringing Jimmy G back or not.I’ll continue to kick the can on bringing in Justin Fields to see if he could be a fit & coached up ??
-That’s just a vision,especially the way I’VE ALWAYS LOOKED at things from a QB standpoint.

Example is Gino Smith -/ young QB’s take a while to develop no matter how talented they maybe.

Aaron Roger’s - example behind Farve .
Love behind Roger’s- there’s lots of other examples.There are other examples of young QB’s doing well.Daniels in Washington is for the lather.

Sorry but these two threads have pretty much become one. Merged with the McVay wants clarity thread.

I looked in here and wondered how I went from posting yesterday on page 28 to be 32 pages behind lol

Stafford is not going anywhere, and I think we all know it just stop all the drama and get the shit done already.

Its that crazy rumor time of year

 

[Ram_Rally]

I should've become a reporter. You can literally just say anything as long as you add "sources"

 

[snackdaddy]

Rogers would be better than guys like Darnold and Cousins. But if they really think they are Superbowl ready Stafford is the best chance. And he's already in the building.

There's just no way the Rams should be trading away Stafford.
Just get it done & stop the crazy rumor mill already.

Colin Cowherd is "proposing" that Rams "could" trade MS to the NYG for the 3rd overall pick, then move down to stockpile picks to get a franchise QB in 2026. Colin says Rams then would want a "bridge" QB in 2025.... possibly Aaron Rodgers.

I usually like Colin's takes, but I think he's full of shit on this one. I say MS is a lock to stay, both sides really want to make it work.

If it came to an impasse and the only alternative was to trade Stafford, then this scenario makes sense.

I am super conflicted. The thought of McVay with a mobile QB sounds really exciting. It is how the NFL is built these days.

We were healthy down the stretch, but squeaked 3 wins in December scoring 12, 19, 13. That’s with most everyone healthy and THAT’S not good enough.

I understand why the Rams are poking at this.

When teams played man last year against the Rams just about every offensive metric too a nose dive. One of the ways to beat man is to have a running QB. In lieu of that, we need answers there. A size and/or speed receiver. A TE who can split out wide. A receiving threat at RB (not a guy who can just catch, you need a guy who can run routes).

Sure, Puka can occasionally beat man but it's not a strength of his game. We need these to come to us in FA or the draft. Most likely draft.

I think there are answers here at TE. It doesn't look like there are great answers here at WR this draft. Not sure about RB.

Tight End is so interesting in this draft class because there's no Bowers but it's got depth middle of the 1st through the 4th it looks like and possibly even later. Does that actually push guys down the board with teams thinking they can get a TE later in the draft.

Does it make a guy like Warren or Loveland more likely to be there for us. In that scenario, TE three could very well be there at our pick.

Bingo! In weeks 13-17 they were fully healthy and won 5 in row. However, in 4 of those wins, the offense averaged 16.25 points per game.

There is no way they can bring the offense back, largely as constructed, and expect to go far. Major upgrades/changes to the offense are in order.

I'm just not convinced that means you gotta trade the QB. I'd rather make some major moves and build around Stafford. It will take more than just the draft picks; they'll also need to use free agency.

The issue is, can they afford to make the moves that it will take?

Yeah - sure & how is this suppose to happen ?? Don’t you THINK,that Mcvay game planned with Stafford as The Rams QB ??

There’s more (1st rd pick) reason than that.Just the FACT Mcvay has to know who he’s QB is going to be sooner than later.

I’d also say The Rams are holding this one close to there Vest,but you have to realize how Sean Mcvay works ?? Pretty basic -

If a QB can read quickly and get the ball out to the right player that will always trump mobility. So as much as I do like mobility in a QB that is secondary to mastery of the offense and being able to play mind games with the defense pre and post snap.

This is why I think they need to get Stafford done. And from there they can still add a QB development prospect who has some mobility.

Back to this offense the problem plaguing it is the weapons. Many of us have been discussing the complete lack of speed in this unit for years now. That emboldens opposing DCs to get aggressive on calls, as the Rams ability to hurt them is limited. Also it is particularly bad when you have the QB who can use the entire field plus has mastery of the offense and the QB position.

So go get him a big ass target to replace Kupp, or failing that an elusive slot type who can hurt opponents over the middle when they man up. And if/when an explosive X or RB is on the board, take him. Rams shouldn't have any issues adding that slot weapon inside the first few rounds even if they have to give up a little size by taking it outside the first pick.

If they move Stafford and go with Jimmy as bridge for a drafted QB, the offense will require a little more than it will with Stafford. Jimmy needs guys who can turn dumpoff passes underneath into big plays. I'll be pissed if they do that because I love Stafford as our QB and want him to have weapons, but I will understand it because top franchises don't let old QBs hold them hostage. It is what it is.

 

[Turducken]

so you think trading Stafford for Goff?

If they gave us back our picks? Hell yeah!

Stafford would probably get them over the hump next season but we shouldn't sweat it. We'd end up with a massive draft haul: 4 firsts, a second and 4 thirds over the next two drafts. At least six of those nine picks would turn into offensive upgrades. And we'd still have a franchise QB, but with about five more years of prime shelf life - enough runway to launch a dynasty.

The Detroit formula was to give Jared a clean pocket with a lot of talented options and our extra picks were the key. Just send them back to LA and we'll have a better offense than Detroit by 2026.

It could happen (Snead just has to use his file of blackmail info on Brad Holmes).

Bonus: the McVay/Goff reunion would guarantee another Hard Knocks season.

Stafford had four cracked ribs. It threw his accuracy off a bit. I’m sure it affected his overall play.
