How long have you been on the internet? Gotta do better? This argument is nothing more than an extension of that thread "Rams failed in their 2026 draft approach". Which turned into "well even beyond their draft approach". Which turned into "Puka is seeing too many targets since Adams has been out". Which turned into "Puka's depth of target has changed significantly and he's taking more big hits". Which has turned into, "an objective third party even agrees with me". Which will turn into something else, I'd bet my house. Like I said, I think it may be agenda driven.

Ok, move the goalposts. At first it was about number of targets. Now, it's depth of target.
I'll play anyway.
We're all watching the games. They've averaged approx. 30 points per game over the last two weeks with Adams out.
Sure, Puka's usage has been different, but you'll have to establish it as a problem given that scoring has increased, not declined.
Move em? Those puppys came in on roller skates!!!! He's worried about Puka.....he ought to be worried about his own back, pushing them puppies all over the place!!!
Jesus.. it’s about USAGE, okay? How’s that?
They average that against two bad defenses. And only scored 16 points the week before.
On top of that, we can also talk about what those targets represent to the overall offense. Puka got half of the targets this week. Two of the wide receivers were essentially taken out of the game. because of mistakes.
The red light is flashing whether you acknowledge it or not.
Not at all, we’re talking about the offense and the need for another wide receiver.
There are multiple data points in that.
If you can’t take a bigger view, then don’t.
They scored 34 points the week before the 16.
Based on multiple data points, they've been functioning as a top 7 offense or so over the last four weeks.
That is the bigger view.
You want to hyperfocus on what could happen in the future if Puka's usage continues this way.
Fair enough. But you can't argue that the offense has suffered at this point.
All you can say is that maybe it will.
Last year, fans went through these same histrionics when Puka and Adams missed 4 games.
They were wrong!
In Atkins article, he says, "If Stafford doesn't have trust with his wide receivers in a home game in week 8, he's unlikely to find it in a road playoff game". Okay, that's deep. Is he suggesting, 'Stafford will have immediate trust with ANY receiver they bring in'???? I don't know. I'm just a fan. But I'd think he's more apt to get on the same page with one of the existing WRs than a new guy coming in, seeing how they're practicing together, in meeting together, etc.
"They need to get another WR"...he says.
But he also says, they are limited in their ammo to get one and their 2026 cap space is at $8,000.00 so it's going to require restructuring a veteran (or 2 I say). Sure we'll just tell somebody, "we're restructuring your deal". What kind of fucking logic is that? Josh Downs? I'd love to have him. Is it possible? Don't think so. He suggests a day 3 pick could bring in Calvin Ridley "who still runs elite routes". "Elite routes"? Like the elite routes that had him catch 6 of 13 targets this year in 7 games. What the fuck is that?
Yeah, I could see where a poster bitching about the Rams plan this year, their WR corp and their usage of Puka....calling 29.5 PPG the last two week "not good offense"......being delighted Atkins wrote that article, however lame assed or ridiculous it was..

Sure I can!
They looked like hell last week for a full half.
They played a bad defense and a catastrophic offense and only put up 24 points.
That’s not close to good.
The way the performance trended was very problematic.. the #2 WR had 2 catches!
Yes, the red light is flashing for this offense.
It’s funny, I just happened to turn on the NFL network right now on the radio… They were talking about the Rams… Both hosts said they need to get another wide receiver. And both expect them to do it before next Tuesday.
But I’m wacky and crazy.
But I’m wacky and crazy.
The trust with Stafford thing is my big concern. I've repeatedly said that I'm fine with them trading for another WR, but I'm skeptical that it will change much because that guy will need to be a very quick study and immediately gain Stafford's trust.
Can Downs do that? I'm skeptical.
This is the reason I lean towards a vet like Keenan Allen.
As for restructuring, that shouldn't be a problem since the contract language typically gives the team the right to restructure at any time. Also, restructures usually benefit the player as part of their salary is converted into a bonus.
Well that settles it, huh? I mean if 2 radio hosts think they need WR, it must be true right?
Good grief...
I'm sticking with what McVay thinks
Fair concerns.
along with Atkins.
Settles it? No.
Support my argument? With multiple outside objective people?
Yes.
And you don’t know what McVay thinks. Neither do I.
Eeeeeeeeasy now .........
Sit down, and I'll call 911 for ya.
You just sit down and take it easy for a bit, until they show up.

Not mad but says try fucking reading with an exclamation point at the end.....yeah you sure exhibit calmness. Please just miss me with that bullshit and anger you seem to have going on for whatever weird reason. You can try to twist this whole pissed off thing on to me but it's obvious based on these posts who's really infuriated. You sir are way too much.
