I still have hope for him. Maybe he’ll make it, maybe not.

What isn’t “maybe” is that he’s a human being who doesn’t deserve constant ridicule.

I'd rather he was more interested in proving McSnead right than proving the peanut gallery wrong, but either way, I'm glad he's motivated for next season.

If he gets thru the 2022 season successfully, he'll be honored with the nickname of ... Timex.

Sorry Avenger, but my constant criticism is more directed at the decision to draft him over the obvious need meeting talent in Creed Humphries. I am not at all convinced that Tutu will even make the 53 man roster this year. He's not a return man because that's Brandon Powell's job, and he doesn't break into the top 4 or even 5 WR's in the Rams WR room. Although McSnead does so well in other places, they have a blind spot in valuing inside lbers and interior linemen in the draft, it seems to me, and it drives me nuts every time I see that Humphries is doing so well, and we HAD him for the taking if we wanted.

I want Tutu to prove me wrong, but unfortunately, I'm not worried about that happening.

I hope he can prove me wrong. I just know that my ninth grade son outweighs Tutu by 40 lbs and there is no way in hell that I’d want him getting tackled by NFL linebackers or big DBs like Ramsey or slobber knockers like Rodney McLeod.

I'll be rooting for him. I don't think any Rams fan will not be. It's nothing personal, either. I just think he is way too small - a fumble and/or injury waiting to happen. Hopefully, I am proven wrong. Very willing to eat crow on this one.

I find it interesting that the weight room has added 10 lbs to his frame. Even at 165, he's a mircro-weight but it should make him more durable and not affect his speed. I can see him in those 4 WR sets, but his fate IMO will be determined by how Harris develops as he has almost the same speed and 6'5" height. For him to make this roster he needs to be a returner. Leave Powell at PR and see if Tutu can begin to earn his keep as a KOR specialist. Right now he's at gadget play level.

He needs to show something this TC and preseason to make this team. As a WR he's going to be buried behind Kupp, Robinson, Jefferson, OBJ, Skowronek, and Harris (who McVay moved back to WR last season). IMO he's trade bait at best right now.

Way to ingratiate yourself to the fan base after a disappointing season. Dude has rabbit ears like Durant. Talk about making life hard on yourself.

I get his mindset about criticism but to publicly express it, instead of using it as a private source of motivation, shows a massive lack of awareness and maturity in a sport that will eat you up because of it.

Not a rams type of personality that the FO is looking for. Hope he grows up and become a weapon for the team but right now I have even less faith.

His story isn’t written in stone so he can still right the ship. Ball is in his court.

Tutu over Creed: get over it.

He was drafted as a WR, not a KR/PR. We’ll see if he finds a role on the offense.

I still have hope. His college tape is impressive.

I honestly think that Jacob Harris will have a better career as a Ram than Chatarius Atwell. Atwell does have good qualities. Speed, route running ability, stop-and-go acceleration, he has those things. But he’s just too damn small, and we’re deep at least four above him, even if we don’t sign OBJ (which I think we will). Harris, at least, plays special teams.

Good, it's better than him not caring. Hope he's on a mission this offseason. Lots of ways Coen can get him involved without exposing him tutu badly.
