What is Stafford retires after this season? Would we want to sign Garoppolo to an extension and go into next year with him as our starting QB? We could do worse.
I wouldn't be fine with Stafford retiring but if he did, I'd be fine with JG taking over (give him a 3 year contract and find the heir apparent asap) with Bennett backing him up. Particularly if Bennett looks as good next week as he did this week. But lets not get the cart ahead of the horse. Stafford plays this year and next.

He threw 60+ balls Saturday and was supposed to be out there again today. But no, he'$ in street clothes. Not good.

Hate to quote you for this @bubbaramfan (nothing but respect), but if he could throw 60+ balls on Saturday, do you think he could throw 60+ balls in the opener?
Oh, that's right! He won't have to.

I dont know about walking around gingerly, but I did see Stafford walking fine then he sees the camera smiles and grabs his back. I know I dont smile when my back acts up. I would be very surprised if Stafford missed week 1.

Nope, at this point Stafford should not risk it.

1. I wonder what kind of mess this would have created if the Rams had gotten some team to give up a first or second round pick for Stafford this past winter.

2. It sure would be sweet if the Rams won a Super Bowl with Garapolo. That’s something Shanahan couldn’t do. Niners fans would be livid.

3. This likely means McVay and the staff are going to have to coach their butts off. They won’t have the luxury of having a genius level QB making no look passes. They will have to adjust the offense to Garapolo’s strengths and weaknesses. I hope the defense is as good as we think they are.

I'm probably in the minority but I really believe this team can win and go far with a Garoppolo / Bennett combination with more focus on the running game and the front 7 on defense playing lights out.

Stafford comes back from off season, aka vacation, hurting so bad he's not even being able practice.

I don't think being very concerned can be described as over reacting.
