I'm thinking (hoping) he may see a few thrown his way tomorrow.

Man I hope so. All hands on deck. Fuck the mandatory blocking for these guys. Get em in there and see who you’ve got in the depth chart.
“He’s not ready to line up, run a route and catch the ball yet.” ~ McVay
Stafford needs help, Puka needs help. Corum is starting to make big plays, but this offense still needs more big plays downfield. Honestly, you don’t need an elite arm talent like Stafford to run what we’re running right now, but that’s a different topic.
According to you it is a clearer path. Obviously the decision makers value them. Just because you choose not to see the obvious what everyone else sees. That this team prefers to defer to experience first. When it lets them down or injuries force the issue then they will choose rooks.
According to any Rams fan on here.
Have anyone make the argument that the depth chart for TE was clearer for Max Klare this year than it was for Daniels.
Outside of Puka and Adams you had XSmith.. who's already gone..
He had two years of experience with a total of 20 receptions.
Konata Mumpfield
1 season and 10 receptions
92 yards and 1 TD
Jordan Whittington
2 seasons and 40 receptions
Tutu Atwell
4 seasons 110 receptions.
Ahead of Klare and outside of Starter Colby Parkinson
Because.... despite protestations on here... the Rams are running 11 personnel 54% of the time and 13 personnel 35 percent of the time this year..
Tyler Higbee
10 years 386 receptions
Davis Allen
3 years receptions
TFerg
One year and 11 receptions 231 yards and 3 TDs
One group is not like the other.
You are arguing a false premise.. the Rams do not have a policy of not playing rookies.
They have a policy of not playing guys who aren't good enough or who aren't ready.
You're making up a policy to deflect from analyzing the actual players.
Can we shut this thread when the trade deadline passes?
Me, I'm pulling for CJ Daniels to step up today

No they haven't. But it has been clearer for Klare. Ferguson is injured. Parkinson has bad ribs. We're down to 2 healthy TEs in a system that uses them a lot. So Klare got 25 snaps last week. We'll see how he acquitted himself in their eyes by how many snaps he gets this week.
The production means nothing. Mumpfield and Whittington aren't playing because they offer more in the passing game. They're playing because they know the system and they offer more than a rookie in the complete system. And that system has changed from 11P to 13P, although the percentages are less because of the injuries. So with 13P we need ONE WR on the field. ONE. That makes Daniels path much more difficult.
Are you suggesting Klare didn't have a clearer path? Or that because they aren't running 13P like they did in 2025, Daniels has a clearer path?
There are 2 rookies who played significant time as rookies under McVay. Kupp and Puka. Clearly they are fantastic WRs. Some have pointed out Puka played from the jump because of injuries. He also played because the WR depth was thin. He proved to be a phenom but few knew that at the time, including the staff, I'd bet.
In 2023 the WRs on the roster were:
Puka
Kupp (missed first 4 games, giving Puka the opportunity he got)
Tutu (14 games started)
VJ (traded after week 5, thanks to the breakout by Puka)
DRob (didn't play a snap until week 9)
Benny Skow (suited up all season because of his ST ability; Played 75 offensive snaps the first 4 weeks, 142 the next 13 wks)
Tyler Johnson (did not play a snap until week 17)
Austin Trammel (another ST guy)
So, the most snaps played by the WR corp from week 1 to week 4 were Puka, Tutu, VJ, Benny Skow. Is it any wonder Puka got the chance?
All that in an offense that primarily played 11P

Absolutely nothing here.
Sorry, if you’re just gonna stick to made up points and say things like “the production means nothing,” then you’re just not interested in an honest discussion.
The simple fact that you’re trying to make Puka’s production about injuries, and want to ignore all the camp reporting, etc.. and pretend he wasn’t just light-years better than Daniels… is ridiculous.
And I’ve also gone over snap counts.

I dunno, dude. I dread to think what this board would be like if he missed a block resulting in Stafford being out for the season.
This is not something we should be rolling the dice on, in my opinion. If McVay thinks he's not ready, then he shouldn't start him.
Leading them where exactly.
Yeah - seriously FUNNY !!
A w h ?? A good question,but when you look at the history of Les Snead you can see some similarities.
What I hope happens today is Jordan Whittington has his BEST NFL game in his CAREER!!
There’s a lot of games today & another one I recorded yesterday.
It brings me back to when I went to Chicago 2 years ago.Coleman Shelton was the starting center then under LMFAO(Iceman) Williams.
That T”what’s his name was The Rams starting CB. Whittington was a rookie who played more than he should’ve. When you look at where The Rams are NOW vs. then It’s actually amazing.Still Sean Mcvays play calling can SUCK !! Just ask my totally drunk AZZ as I got kicked out of that game & couldn’t figure out how to get onto a train ?? Just remember following my still girlfriend down some get-to looking streets walking behind her pissed off finding our way back to our hotel. Not always a Proud Boy & might enjoy a ICE coffee after church today,but happier now this November than the last 2 years those Dodger won a World Series.
Thank Goodness The Brewers swept them.
How great is STAN KRONKE!! Really would like to talk to Kevin DEMOFF!! Think it’s best they keep the young kids down for a season.
A great time for a baseball strike & they(Angels)won’t have a choice to keep them in Salt Lake !! Moore hopefully can be demoted back there & get extra games at 2nd base playing with Arjun
Oh pahleese!!! You're interested in an honest discussion? You're interested in keeping up with your theme, they had a fucked up plan from the get go. Tell me genius, when you're running 13P and 12P how many WRs are on the field? That in itself severely impairs the ability for the #5, #6 and #7 WRs to see snaps. Continue with your ridiculous agenda. I'm out.
Let me know if I'm wrong or who you are referring to.
Following the quotes the focal point is about getting CJ Daniels some PT. He is not going to ask to protect Stafford by blocking.
Running a wrong route or a poor route could affect Staffords timing. That could lead to an INT or sack which would be bad.
I wrote in this thread how the Rams are running 11 54% of the time this year to 35% for 13.. that leaves about 11% for 12 or other formations.
You simply don't want to have an honest discussion.
You're the one with the agenda, pretending that the Rams have some nonsense policy of not playing rookies. If they're good and ready, they play.
If they're not, they don't.
Yes, I was talking about C.J. Daniels.
Whereas he wouldn't block for Stafford directly, plays going wrong can have compound effects.
Whereas, obviously McVay can make mistakes. With something like this, I'd trust him.
I think this is one of those situations where, if you saw him practise and you heard the conversations going on internally, you'd probably come to the same conclusion.
But at the end of the day, we're all guessing.
Puka is gonna break down eventually. The punishment he takes is unreal.
With Parkinson dinged and Ferguson out, we can barely run 13. With Adams out and no one else stepping up, we can barely run 11. We are in no-man’s land right now.
