Can’t say I’m all that surprised.

Here’s the bright side - no way this is how Stafford ends his career. This, if anything, confirms for me that he’s preparing for 2023.

He should enter next season healthier than he’s been in a long time.

Rest up, Matthew…and see you in September.

Not really a surprise and good to see. The real question is if he comes back and if not how does McVay respond in the off season.

So I guess we will have to endure a combo QB of Wolford and Perkins neither of which are NFL quality.
Great just freaking great.

Smart Decision.

Keeping the most important player protected from this 2022 McVay offensive offense.

Stafford took a beating during the 21 games of the 2021 Championship season that did not end until this year back in mid-February.

This provides #9 a real Holiday Season with his wife & daughters that he has never had before:smilehearts::hug:.

Heals the soul for what is ailing you!

I want #9 back fully healthy & ready to play again in the worst way.

It makes little if any difference at this point. Honestly it wasn’t fun watching Stafford get thrashed behind that garbage injury riddled line and zero running game. Hopefully this is a reality check to coach to fix what is wrong and missing. No more bs draft picks. No run game no play action no execution=a beat up damged quarterback. The Atwell pick reminds me of the Trung Canidate pick under Martz. Almost sorta cocky and a throw away. Its gonna be very pivotal offseason.

Shut it down. We need him 100% next year if we want to have a real shot again.

I don't think he was ever even close to that this year

That will forever STING!! You give all your high draft picks away & then when you finally get a couple you BOTCH IT.

Les Snead always talks about winning in April.I wonder how Bobby Wagner feels? The Hags made out with the Russell Wilson trade.
Gino sure looked good last season against The Rams,so I think 1-5 division record.

Oh & this just in on Stafford

What about AD99 ?

Heard Nick Scott talk about the CRAP TURF playing service.Players safety first?

Not sure if AD99 will say it was the field? Either way Jonas Williams was one of my favorite players & when The Rams cut him I was upset(disappointed) & now he gets good NFL experience

Are we all 100% certain he is returning next year?

I for one am not. Mrs. Stafford has been very vocal on this subject. She is completely fine with him not playing anymore. In my house that is code for do not do that.

I like the way you think.

Yeah - good luck.

If The Rams can’t run on the Hags I’ll be disappointed because of how they lost last week.

K. Williams knocked a OLB on his butt during pass pro. He might be The Rams RB of the future? Then again whatever happened with Cam Akers ?

I think shutting him down now increases the chances he returns next year.

Kelly is most worried about head trauma, and it seems he's escaped a major scare so far.

He can plausibly say, "I'm fine!"
