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.

Stafford is you favorite QB!!!!???~ Zeke Bratkowski

He was not even a year removed from being injured.

I’m not advocating Cousins to the Rams in the least bit. I don’t want that.

But I will say, as a guy who tore his Achilles recently and doing a job that can be very physical and requires me to be in shape, it was about a year AFTER being cleared for duty that I started to feel normal on it. Even still, sometimes I do something that just doesn’t quite work the same.

This thread is BORING AS FUCK. Week 1 or week 4 or 6 for our savior Stafford. Not a bad option behind door #1, if needed. Jimmy G. I'll take it.
Yep.

Absolutely want him back but this is not Brett Rypien flailing around in GB as the backup QB option.

Johnny Manziel 2.0.
Hmmm not sure on the comparison as Manziel was a douche thru and and thru. Everyone knew his ass was grass as he didn't give 2 fucks about football just the fame. I suspect Williams cares but that doesn't mean he won't bust. Time will tell but it definitely isn't looking or sounding good.

Exactly what I'm saying. Cousins isn't young and I'm sure the injury affected him in some way. I imagine there's adjustments to just normal everyday shit you got to do. I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy as he could be done, but I like to see an professional athlete more than a year removed from a bad injury before truly passing judgement.

Poor Khartoum

Well, Vito did made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

At least Luca was dead at that time; I don't want to imagine what that fucker (Luca in the books was as evil as it got) would've done.

No, no ... Luca Brasi was very much still alive when Vito secured the film role for his God-son, Jonny Fontaine.

Luca did not have his Final Meeting ... with Sollozzo and Bruno Tattaglia ... until several scenes later.

You sure? Because I thought that Luca was very much dead and sleeping with the fishes by the time of the Khartoum incident (and I thought Rocco was the one who got Khartoum's head in Woltz's bed). I know that he did the "band-leader", but I don't think he got back at the bigoted pedophile of a director.

And Luca Brasi, in the books, forced a midwife at gunpoint to throw his own illegitimate newborn daughter in a bakery oven after murdering the mother. Why? Because they were Irish and "none of that kind should live".

He was an absolute monster in the books, and even Vito was terrified of Luca's pure psychopathic nature; the only reason he followed Vito unconditionally was because the Godfather rescued him from a death penalty for butchering a cop. If he wasn't a Corleone, he'd be an irredeemable villain, and Mario Puzo showed the line that Cosa Nostra crosses in their dealings and how it's not a glamorous job, knowing, in spite of all of the money, drugs, and women the mobsters got to partake in, they'd all end up dead prematurely, in prison for life, or worse off than they were before they became made.

Yes.

You're correct that the Novel had quite a few really good sub-plots and stories that could not be presented ... or even referenced in a two-hour-film. Luca Brasi, Al Neri and Lucy Mancini all had excellent back-stories; and the revenge on the "scum" that "ruined" Bonasera's daughter would have been a terrific scene.

Okay, fair enough. Maybe I'm thinking of the Godfather game where the Khartoum mission happens after Luca's death. Now that is a fucking fun sandbox video game, and one of the few reasons I still have an Xbox 360.

Al Neri was fucking awesome and badass and, unlike Luca, actually quite sympathetic as a character. Tom told Michael when he saw Neri, "Now you've got your Luca."

Lucy Mancini and Sonny had a relationship basically because Sonny's wife refused to have intercourse with him because of his ginormous...package. Puzo mentioned that a lot.

Puzo's book is a fantastic read, and I recommend it to anyone who watched The Godfather, even if some things were different.
