“It happens with age” isn’t the argument some think it is, imo.

It hasn’t with Brady but has with several other QBs.

With what they’ve invested, you need 4 really good years, imo.

But… again.. I’m not overly worried, just something that could become a problem.

And the best thing about this clip. Rochell is a fuckin stud Corner on this play....

Yeah I'm glad Pat mentioned the non-telegraphing of the ball's position by Kupp too. His hands don't give up a thing. Of course it doesn't matter when the DB is beat that badly but if Rochell was in better position Kupp still has a chance to beat him due to him not looking and Kupp holding off on his hands movement until the last moment.

IMO just another example of how good Kupp is. How detailed he is. How badly he's going to outwork his opponent through his preparation. It's cool that he keeps mentioning Rice in interviews, because basically Kupp is a modern Jerry Rice. Bigger, more physical, but so similar in his modesty and approach to greatness.

I'm very concerned about this and felt it needed it's own thread. If mods disagree, please merge.

Did Rams QB Matthew Stafford Suffer Injury Setback?

Matthew Stafford continues to work through his elbow injury in training camp

Matthew Stafford's injury status continues to be the one of the most watched storylines at Los Angles Rams' training camp.

Stafford is in the final stages of his recovery from an offseason procedure to repair an elbow injury he dealt with throughout the end of last season, including during the Rams' Super Bowl-winning run.

And while he had progressed well through the first few days of camp, Stafford apparently suffered a slight setback at Monday's practice, forcing the Rams to limit his workload on the field.

“We lessened Matthew’s workload today,” Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday. “Really, when we look at it, we’ve got five weeks until September 8th. He’s still feeling a little bit of pain. He could push through it. You guys have been out here, he’s been throwing and competing in team settings. We felt like the smart thing was, let’s really just take it a week at a time.”

So how limited was the Rams captain? Fairly significantly.

However, according to McVay, the decision to limit Stafford was more of a conservative precaution, rather than a necessity.

“He ended up getting about 40 to 50 throws in individual,” McVay said. “We didn’t take part in the team activities and that’s really more a result of he’s got so much experience. The most important thing is for him feeling good and healthy on September 8th. We could certainly push and he could really grind through this, but that’s not the goal with somebody like him. It’s not something that we’re concerned about. We just want to be really smart with somebody that is as important as our quarterback is and as experienced as he is to be able to put together a plan that we feel like is in his best interest and in our team’s best interest.”

Stafford will take the field once again on Tuesday for the Rams' next practice.

The only thing I'm concerned about with the Stafford injury is he got the elbow shot right after the SB, and then didn't throw all off-season. So he had months and months to recover and heal but a week into camp he's still feeling pain in his elbow. If it's tendonitis or some sort of inflamed situation, the only real way to let it heal is rest. And he had been resting for a long time but it wasn't enough. If he's playing through it all season long it will definitely impact his play. We all know he's tough as nails but man I think we should just shut him down completely for the next month and deal with the rust early in the season.

I figured when The Rams signed Perez that there was concern &controling it was going to be important.

It’s a long season & better give those Reps to Wolford now,so if it becomes more of a problem he has that much more experience with the 1st team.

This is one of the reasons I really hoped we might offer a 5th to the Browns to trade for Mayfield (as long as the Browns picked up his contract, like they did for Panthers). He's a legit starter and if we need to sit Stafford for some regular season games, he's at least capable. I'm not so sold on The Wolf being as capable.

There might be a window for McVay to scoop Mayfield. For it to happen it requires him to either lose the job competition in Carolina or lose the job in Carolina during the season. That would position him for the backup market. Might be a team dumb enough to pay him starter money from there, but if things were to go down like that I'd think the Rams have a good shot at getting him in here.

Chances are Wolf isn't going anywhere for this season. Before camp started rolling I was hoping Perkins would give him a go but doesn't sound like he's ready to do that and frankly Perkins has been here long enough to start showing so if that remains true we're probably gonna be Stafford > Wolf for this season. But that said Perkins should be getting most of the preseason snaps so there is certainly time for him to show out. Just as the way things are aligned right now it doesn't look good for him.

But with Wolf being a FA after this season there's a good chance McVay reloads the backup role. And maybe he will go get a QB2 that has a little more upside and projection to stay healthy if needed for a stretch of games.
