When he ran Puka on that play I was livid. And I had no idea there was an injury on the play. I just knew there was no reason to take a risk. He was already showing signs of fatigue before that from all the use.
Ugh! Puka hurt again

Odd...when Adams makes his obligatory 2 drops per game I don't hear a peep out of you.
He has a total of two drops this year, dude.
It's the exact reason we need additional targets. No WR should have the load that he does.
Otherwise, Puka has the same longevity as Kupp did. Enjoy him while you can
Ferguson literally caught like 15 balls TOTAL in 2yrs. And he has dropped about 5 passes. I don't understand why people talk about him like he's a factor.

Yeah I don't understand it either. I see the potential but I don't understand the blind faith that he's the next big deal in the Rams offense.
Bro, the drop stats are ALWAYS wrong for whatever reason. I don't know how "they" determine a drop, but if the ball hits you in the chest or both your hands I consider that a drop. Last year Adams dropped the ball like 2x a game. I looked up his stats from last yr and it said he had like 4 drops for the season lol. Since you never paid attention to the drop stat, pay attention from this day forward. Watch a game and at the end of it go look at the individual drop stats lol.
Please NEVER bring Reeder up again... Mcvay might resign him
This has been on my last damn nerve this season! Every time I see someone say what Mcvay should've done, I ask them to tell me what the Defense is in and what the Defense is doing on the play. And I'm ignored every time lol. It amazes me how often people who have never called plays in their lives have so much to say about one of the best play callers in the league.
Seems like more...maybe I'm also thinking about last year.
Let me go at it from this angle:
The 49ers look fine with WRs that "shouldn't be in the league".
How can this be?
Adams does have more drops... Whatever the criteria is for a drop is different than what we see on TV apparently. Go look at Adam's drop stats from last year. It says he has like 5. I literally watched him drop 4 in 1 game lol. And like you said, he dropped about 2 passes a game, but the stats say otherwise.
Wish that was the case ... but it's not.
Right after the game, McVay discussed Ferguson, Said his ankle was coming along and he was having a good practice week and was expected to be a big part of yesterday' game-plan.
Then, during Friday's practice, Ferguso injured his hamstring and would 'likely be out a couple weeks".
My guess is that drops have to be unimpeded. If a ball hits your hands but your had to contort your body, have a defender hanging on you, etc then it's probably not a drop to them.
My take is Shanahan's offense is simpler. He doesn't bog a guy down with knowing every receiver position. So someone can come right in and just play. You don't have to be the smartest to learn and execute it.
McVay's has to many nuances and just to know what play it is, is complicated. The receivers and TEs have a lot of thinking to do.
This limits some of the player pool to pick from and slows down the learning cycle.
We are all going to be amazed at how suddenly-competent the rest of the WRs on the Rams are now that "Puka out there somewhere" isn't the sole game plan. Stafford doesn't even LOOK at them.
Other teams with less talented HC/QB combos somehow manage to get it done.

Please feel free to see how Stafford and McVay limit what the other Rams WRs produce.
Mark Schlereth makes the point that the Rams basically force the ball to Puka while the other WRs run "for the love of the game" routes to make Puka more successful.
To me, that's a sucky way to run an offense. McVay is treating these guys like they are machines.
The humans will eventually all break down in his system.
I know. I was optimistic. My bad.
That said let’s just in next week and figure things out after the bye
Please feel free to compare Adams to the other Rams WRs.
You’re the one that made that comp.
So, before you zig and try to make another point.. tell me how the other WRs are equal to Adams? In any way?
