Stafford Speculation

[DragonOfBlood]

Right. So McVay held a secret meeting with Simpson "for hours and hours," swore Ty to secrecy. Then related to Les "please dont draft this guy," and Les did anyway. Is this your position???

Rams QB Ty Simpson: I had 'secret meetings' with Sean McVay before draft | Latest NFL News, Analysis & Updates | NFL.com https://share.google/Zr1Ftbd9VK1TEX89D

My position is McVay won't be around long enough to have to worry about any quarterback other than Stafford.

But that's the future, and something to think about either after the Rams win the Super Bowl or are eliminated from playoff contention either by loss or regular season math.

What can I say, your reputation precedes you, LOL. My bad but you can be more clearer next time. I'll take the "L" here.

Hey I just thought it was cool that there was only 2 QBs you listed better than him. Yes he's old, but at least he's still considered pretty damn good. I honestly wasn't trying to give you crap at all. You're always welcomed to ask me to clarify as sometimes I try to keep the responses short, I don't mind at all.

McVay is looking forward to the Ty Simpson era.

LOL, I definitely took your response the wrong way, Chapo pal, and that's my bad. It's probably because of our past battles. Yes I should have been more patient and asked what you meant, you could see how that comment can be taken either way. Things are lost in text.

And of course as I still think of Stafford as a top five guy there was only three other guys I put ahead of him. We were in total agreement in that thread. Onward and upward.

He may very well be.

But I remember the Post Dispatch crowd calling me a moron for predicting the Rams and Chargers would be allowed to move to Los Angeles and the Raiders would be SOL. Kind of the same way a lot of posters here are 100 per cent adamant that McVay is going nowhere after the season ends.

I was also getting called a moron on the PD for the SAME thing! What was your handle? Maybe I remember you. I was Mike Schad 1st Rd.

When those guys attacked anyone who predicted a Rams move back to LA, it wasn't because they thought it wouldn't happen. It was a defense mechanism and wishful thinking.

Same as this one. I think I remember you a bit.

Remember that asshole Kenyan Ram who pretended he worked for the team and got all the St. Louis fans' hopes up with his "insider info." *THAT* guy was a real dick.

There were a few true believers, but I think you're right for most of them.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Of all the things I know.
The thing I know the most, is that I don’t know what McVay and Stafford are thinking.

Of course. And understandable, for God's sakes.

Nah dont remember your handle from there. Only one I can remember was HOF IkeBruce. We went head-to-head on the move for a year or two. He insisted it wasnt happening. Then afterwards bowed out saying it was rigged all along.

 

[0311rams]

Feels like the team has come down the crest of the wave that is the superbowl window and is hitting the turbulent water at the end of shallow surf. How long to get to the crest again? Go Rams.

I remember HOF IkeBruce!

Of all the guys claiming to have "insider info" he struck me as the only one who actually did have some kind of legit connection to the attempt to get a new stadium built in St. Louis. How close he was to the actual action is up for debate, but he was right about a few too many things for it to have just been coincidence.

I did genuinely feel bad for the St. Louis fans who weren't dicks. The ones who went out of their way to discount Rams history before the move to St. Louis, the ones who said bullshit like Super Bowl 34 was only for St. Louis fans, fuck them. They didn't deserve the team.

But the ones who embraced the team and its entire history did deserve a little better than what happened. Seems like that unpleasantness was so long ago. I had a unique seat for the whole thing being from neither St. Louis nor Los Angeles.

 

[Ellard80]

I'm sorry but I find this all not quite insightful.

Stafford has not been as sharp as last year... but there are some other reasons for that besides just his play.

Be careful what you wish for. He will be gone soon enough, and hopefully a lot of you won't have to learn the reality that most young

qbs never end up having what it takes.

A bunch of people in a rush to be on QB purgatory is damn bizarre.

Same here as a NYC fan.

Remember, what was his handle ... TBone? I tore into his ass when the LA RAMS won Super Bowl LVI and got banned hours later because I wounded his vagina asking for someone on the site with some football acumen (something he claimed to have) to explain the RAMS winning the whole thing when he consistently claimed that the LOS ANGELES RAMS would never win it all.
Oh, I almost forgot, I registered at that time with the handle "LVI wrecked teehee". Yeah, his vag was RAW.

Yup, TBone was one of the guys I remember.

Was he the clown who switched over to the Denver Broncos when the Rams moved and then changed his profile pic to Aqib Talib only to have Talib become a Ram a couple years later? lmao.

Then there was that one fool who kept posting over and over and over again that the Rams moving back to Los Angeles was going to put the NFL in a "death spiral."

I actually think the guy's handle was something akin to GOOF or some such type of insult of the LA RAMS QB at the time I was observing his posts.

The outsider perspective was an interesting one to be in. I didn't care either way if they played in St. Louis or Los Angeles. They were the LA Rams when I started being a fan, but they won the Super Bowl in St. Louis, so I had fondness for both places.
