Stafford needs his own t- shirt….

Cigar in his teeth / tequila in hand….

“Fuck them picks (ixes)”

:laugh4: (I’d wear it).

It could be IDENTICAL to the Snead shirt, with Matthew's face instead.

It would speak for itself and say so much!

Once Sean Mannion broke my heart by leaving us, there was void that Wolfy could not fill. Then came Matthew.....

WTF - there was a Jared Goff there.

As Old as you maybe? My favorite Rams QB growing up was James Harris.I know he wasn’t The Best & sometimes I doubted him,he still meant a lot to me as a young kid.

Anyway I thought this country would be in a better place united.I know I have my faults & am not half the MAN you maybe! Just saying during a time & place.Still hard to look back at Rams QB’s & think that way. It also brings back certain Era’s as a Rams Fan.
My Dreams came True with Matthew Stafford closing the deal.I don’t know if anyone believes in the cycle of LIFE? I do look back 20 years ago.If I go back 15 years & then 20 years from there ? I’m going into my 4th stage of LIFE.As a Rams Fan I can break it down all my stages with them as a Franchise.

I have to say I was a Raiders Fan as well as a NFL Fan.I can break that down as well. Baseball not as much in my life as a Angel or Lakers Fan. Even as a Kings Fan I have felt apart of The Championships.

I know this is about Best Rams QB’s,but I can break down Oat Hadden as a QB & Rams Fan. If the question is about Matthew Stafford & secrets.I’d say there are a lot of CLOSET LIONs Fans? Especially on Thanksgiving.

I’d have to say my cousin called me during The Rams Lossing at halftime to The Niners during the NFC Championship.If you want to talk about Era’s I still need to go back & talk to him as he is getting ready to go into his 3rd cycle of Life.

I wonder what Jared Goff’s career will look like when it is all said & done ?
I watched concussion last night fell a sleep. Watched King Richard yesterday & night before.Then last week went to the movies for only then2nd time since you had to pick a seat & saw American Underdog.I could talk about my gambling addiction,but yeah Trent Green would have to be my Favorite Rams QB.Rodney Scott Harrison ruined that,

but WE can talk NFL football.
You can look at dates(time of life) & Era’s & I will show some connections.
I can(will) go back in sports history.

Mike Webster HOF starts off Concussion.


Alan Faneca


Here is an era of time.I think I’ll neees to section them of,but we can extend this post HOF players & Rams

Like I said there are times if LIFE.

Rams SuperBowls as well.

This was the start of Mcvay’s Era


John Sullivan & talk about weight loss & great centers.Tom Mack
The Dounuts (bro’s), Dennis Harrah & LEGEND’s( LONG BEACH),

Matt Birk though was a player I thought would have been The Best Rams center that didn’t happen & would have at least put The Saint Louis Rams in The Heaven’s at the time.His weight loss as well as Faneca & Sullivan just shows me something about what being an NFL center takes to keep weight & strength as well as everything else besides have some Great hands & Arms up there AZZ’s.

Just want to add connections & as above I wonder if Los Angeles plays apart of NFL Free Agents signing with The Rams or is it Sean Mcvay,Demoff, & Les Snead ?

Roger Saffold? Will he make the HOF ?
I know what he needed to help his career.

A guy like Andrew Whitworth.These we’re & are questions I ASK ? Is Roger Saffold a HOF player ? John Sullivan got screwed IMO & moved on in LIFE. More power to him. His Holding penalty at the End of the 3rd Qrt of the 2018(19) SuperBowl will always make me wonder what TODD GURLEY would have done & what that would have meant to Tom Brady & Bob Kraft? Maybe that Tampa Bay ,Florida
Massage Bar thing doesn’t happen to Bob Kraft(SORRY)


LSU - Faneca & Whitworth? Chase & Burrow ? OBJ ?

Makes me go back to GREAT Football movies. Let’s just say Dennis Quad is excellent.

Everybody’s All-American(LSU)& American Underdog have that connection.Any Given Sunday can be there just cause.

Draft Day(Les Snead) Kevin Costner

I wonder though as Loyal Started out & set me off . James Harris.

I like me some Bryce Perkins who by all accounts might be considered a SuperBowl QB ? Does he get a Ring ?

John Wolford aside ? Who is The Rams back up.

I think Bryce Perkins benefits the most for being in A QB room & learning from Matthew Stafford.Going back in time Kevin O’Connell played with Stafford in Detroit as his back up. Translation there is lessons to be learned.
I really like what Bryce Perkins brought to The Rams offense in the 2021 preseason & took advantage of John Wolford’s appendix thing.

They treated him poorly. Doesn't change anything for me. Won us our first Super Bowl, made me a fan of this team, and won three MVPs for us.

Wow - that puts things in perspective for me. What a GREAT QB Warner was with The Rams of true ?

3 MVP’s ? I remember all the Bulger vs Warner threads back n stk. today? Not sure about as a ROD poster.

I’ll always remember him(Warner) & his after a Ram as well. What a Great.
Matthew Stafford is still writing history. We don’t even know hat his Rams career will look like ? Does he resign.I’m not impressed though with him in some ways.

Warner became a Legend & what would he looked like under Dick Vermeil in KC & Trent stayed in St. Louis as a Ram ?

I was never a Mike Martz Fan,but respect his innovation of Offensive NFL Football.I think in that context he was better than Sean Mcvay.

There is a shirt on Etsy that Orlovsky wore after the Super Bowl that says MATTHEW FREAKING STAFFORD in an LA cap. I had to get that. He is quickly becoming my favorite Ram, of all time.

Been a fan of his since he came into the league. Elite talent and clutch ass performer. I was ecstatic when the trade went down just because of his high level QB play and how much Goff soured in my eyes, but what got me the most excited was how Stafford's ex-teammates talked about him and rooted for him. When the people you go to war with sing your praises and love you that really says a lot.

Crazy how after only one year, he learned McVay's complicated offense and put up insane numbers. 6,074 yds/ 52 TDs /20 ints in his first season as a ram. He enabled Kupp to have the most productive receiving year of all time as well. Just insane stuff. Next year I think he will be even better. He has the confidence now of a SB Champion and heading into year 2 of this system usually leads to a big performance jump. I'm calling MVP next season.
Yeah, His TD and yards numbers will really pile up if Harris, I think is his name, comes back and can get deep in the endzone and Stafford can throw it up like he did to Jefferson. He could have a record-breaking season if they can get that 50 50 ball working for them.

Kurt Warner V 2.0. Playing for the Lions for 12 years is equal to bagging groceries.

I'm so glad I got to see this guy live this year.

Don't go digging too deep because there were a lot more people thinking the same or worse lol. But hey I'm sure many didn't know much about Stafford at the time and really loved Goff. But just proves a point, that if you have a great front office and excellent coach we should trust them and give them the benefit of the doubt in most scenarios. The Gurley and Goff moves were both very controversial around here and both worked out beautifully. As did the Ramsey and OBJ deals which were scrutinized heavily as well. Not drafting OL I thought was idiotic but I was very wrong about that. OL held up and played really well this year.

OL did enough. But one of the reasons those games were so tight was our OL inconsistencies. They're Super Bowl champs, sure. But that doesn't mean the same group will be able to do that in 2022.

Improving constantly is the mantra of this team. They're not gonna sit and pay dudes who are mediocre. OL needs to be more difficult to bully.
