Stafford: A Year Under My Belt

I have stumbled on these guys vids before and I just can't. That dude in the Ravens shirt is captain obvious and has the worst delivery since Miles Simmons. Other dude looks like the 4th Manning brother but at least has some semblance of insight. Goodness they are hard to listen to, haha... For me at least.

He's definitely approaching Kurt zone with me. I don't hold anything against Warner because of how he was dealt. The thing for me is Warner not only got us our first SB but came out of NOWHERE to do it. His story is just too great.

I can't help but like Stafford and always have. He's a total stud and I'm stoked he's our QB. He may very well finish as my favorite QB of all time.

Yeah Kurt's story is definitely one that will go down as the greatest underdog story in NFL history. I mean how do you top that.

But Stafford's story is pretty damn great too. It's like he came out of a ten year coma to win a Lombardi and silence all the shit talking. Just crazy that we have two QB storylines of that quality.

It's my turn now. Dude stole my number and my #1 spot, but then I got my shot in my march toward immortality.... Hell, I have more Super Bowl rings than Dan Marino!

Dude will have made $2.6m over the last 4 years if he makes the roster this year. I know he doesn’t keep it all with agents, taxes, etc. but not too shabby.

Wolf's a Wall Street type too. So I'd imagine he'll have his total earnings working for him. Dude probably drives a Hyundai.

 

[Tano]

I definitely do. I was probably the only Rams fan that wanted the Rams to draft Stafford back in 2009. I'm so glad we got him now. Been a fan since his Georgia days considering I'm a Notre Dame fan. I have a football boner just thinking about It I'm so psyched. FUGG YEAH!!

Unfortunately we didn't have the number 1 pick that year.

However, I think we would have broken Stafford with our coaching the next few years if we did have the number 1 pick.

Ditto. I can’t hate on anyone pumping out Rams content, but I find them hard to hang with.

I will keep trying as maybe they smooth out in time.

I love Stafford.. it's been a joy.

That being said, I'd love to see a few less "brain fart" throws.. Like the deep ball int in the second 9ers game and the one that Tartt dropped in the NFC Title game.
I call them that, because they just seem outside his normal processing.. he's a hell of a QB. Maybe winning will make him realize on *some* of those throws.. he can do something else and live for another day.
Either way... I can't wait for year 2 AND Robinson in this system.

It takes 5 full seasons to earn an NFL pension. Had a co-worker who played in the NFL in the 70's- 80's for 5 years with the Chargers. He rarely ever played but he said he was so relieved to have made the team so he could qualify for an NFL pension. He gets something like $1500 a month, which isn't much but a game changer for a working stiff.

Part of me wonders if the pressure to win it all got the better of him at times last season. I just feel like that monkey is off his back and we will see a more poised and possibly slightly more conservative QB in year 2. He even looks more calm in his interviews I have seen since the SB. He has a nice swagger about him that only comes from winning it all.

His familiarity with the scheme should lead to some cleaner play. If not? Well, as long as it ends in another title, I won't give two shits about the INTs, hahaha.

I think the risk taking will always be part of his game. I know some people don't like the brett farve gunslinger comparison, but I think it is the closest comparison out there. The big difference between them though is Stafford studies and practices seriously, Farve not so much. So while it looks the same sometimes it is based on a knowledge not just physical ability.

We will see more consistency this year. More TD passes less interceptions and a dominating offense and as long as Stafford can step on the field we will see a QB that can make up for key injuries, like he did in the SB. If the D holds up, the Rams should have quite a few 10 or more point victories this year. Even with the tough schedule.
