There once was a constipated German named Farfrompoopen. He went to a Japanese gastro. His name was Dr Takacaca.

Couldn’t resist.

I’m not getting all of the love for Jimmy G-string. In his only game last year he lost. IIRC, he threw the infamous g-string pick in the 12-15 yard out area.

Even wentz won his only start. Mayfield came in after one series and 48 hours of being a Ram and won.

He’s a good QB with talent around him, nothing special and certainly not clutch. His last gig before landing on the Rams was the raiders where he was benched before the his first season ended and then cut. The raiders, not as talent laden as the 9er teams he played for, were unable to help enough to save G-string’s job.

Let’s keep the situation in perspective. He provides excellent maintenance for the Rams offense so it doesn’t lose much when Stafford can’t practice.
…but make no mistake, there is QUITE a bit of difference between Jimmy and Stafford. The Rams are a legit SB contender with one.

Wentz was playing against the Niners backups.

The Seahawks were playing their starters.

And even though both were playing with backups, our offense looked far better with Jimmy. Yes he threw his signature pick - that's why he's a backup. But he's a damn good one

I love Jimmy G because he’s not Brett Rypien.

I would rather see Stetson Bennett play the next 3 games, so he can gain as much experience as possible. As you stated, he has a long ways to go before being a legit option.
The next 2 games yes, but I expect Stafford to start week 1. When is the last time Stafford was untouched in week 1? The point is every QB is gonna be sore after week 1. The better Stafford feels going into week 1 the better he will feel after the NFC Championship game.

He was not even a year removed from being injured. Old farts, I know cuz I feel like one sometimes, take time to fully recover. I'd say give him the benefit of the doubt there, but I also don't think he's some sort of savior at QB. He's a starter in this league, unfortunately his age doesn't help though since I can imagine most teams would view him as a bridge QB.

For the amount of money he would he would want I wouldn't give him the benefit of anything. I don't ever want the Rams to be a QB reclamation team, let.someone else take their chance.

What's with the disrespect for Jimmy g? He's a Ram now. Irritates the fuck out of me.

When they first signed him, I felt the ick badly. Subsided a lot during the season but it was still there some. Now year 2, he’s our backup QB (not a 9er/Pat)

I'm not even talking about the money lol... I'm just talking about him playing better than he did last year if he manages to play this year for any team. I wasn't even talking about him being a Ram at all but him just as a NFL QB in general. You got my comment all wrong hahaha

Again 65 years a rams fan and Stafford is far and away my favorite QB in all that time.
That said - getting a little tired of hearing about Jimmy G’s “signature“
picks.
Not like Stafford never threw a pick by(six).
Raiders are a shit organization.
Save your bitching until (and if) he gets in a game and fucks up.
Just maybe, McVay has some positive influence.

Back injury are either fine or broken, there’s no real middle ground.
Not sure where you’re getting your info. There is all kinds of middle ground.
Isn't there a doctor named Chow who is always predicting injury recovery (mostly doom and gloom) on players he's never examined?
Yep. I’m actually really surprised he hasn’t popped up in all this.
could kirk cousins beat out jimmy g for qb1 ?
I sure hope not. Because that would mean Jimmy G is fucking useless.
Couldn’t resist.
Maybe you shoulda rethinked that.
