This "Stafford is injury prone" thing is a short sighted view. He didn't miss any games in 2021. And was lights out in the playoffs. Especially in crunch time. His elbow sure didn't look like it was a problem there.

In 2022 its likely he was shut down because it was a lost season and the line was gonna get him hurt more seriously. If they were in contention I believe he woulda been playing. Same with Donald. Kupp mighta been able to return late in the season. But why risk anything in a lost season?

In 2023 it was a freak injury when his thumb hit a player's helmet. Something that can happen to anyone. Even more durable QB's like when Goff missed a game with a thumb injury. He certainly looked like a healthy quarterback in the second half of the season. And he sure showed how tough he is.
On one hand it is said, "it's the NFL....nobody is 100% healthy by week 6". On another hand if a guy is injured a lot "he's injury prone".
It's about how many games are missed.

Stafford has played 15 years in the NFL.
Games missed?
2009 = 6
2010 = 13
2019 = 8

2022 = 8
2023 = 1


I'm not seeing "injury prone" there. He plays QB....the position with the target on the jersey. He's played behind some shitty OLs. Injury prone is a guy who can't stay on the field. In the last 13 years, he's missed 17 games. As far as the opinion he won't play beyond 2025, that could very well happen. If the Rams win another SB in '24 or '25. Nobody knows how much longer he's a Ram. Enjoy it while you can.

FWIW, the Rams have had 2 of the toughest QBs in the NFL the last 7 years.

As far as "love" goes, most of us believe they aren't getting enough. I'd prefer less love early and a lotta love in February.

I absolutely agree with Cowherd and thought we were a playoff team going into next year. If AJax duplicates last year and KW stays relatively healthy to pair with Corum the offense will be a monster.

Yes we lost AD but we have more overall talent in the front 7 than we have in a long time. Veterans in the secondary as well. I think the defense is better than last year.

WHOSE AJAX ?? WTF - Alaric Jackson. Don’t forget about Joesph Noteboom if you’re adding AJAXS!! Then resigning KEVIN DOTSON was HUGE. Then signing JOHAN JACKSON !! You don’t even talk about the other HUGE move !!

Just let you fill in the blanks,because The DEPTH is there.
Then we can talk about how REAL NFL TEAM FANTASY works.

This is TUTU’s YEAR!! Creed has won 2 Superbowls,but yes finally. I go back to watching AD99 putting on a show against JAVON (lmao)Brown.He goes on PEDS & Austin Blythe shows up at RG.

Last season was crazy - The Rams depth stunk,until DOTSON was placed at RG & DOMINATED!! Where is Shelton ? This is a NEW ERA & The RAMS 2023 TOP DRAFT PICK is what the season was what’s getting overlooked.

I saw a photo from OTA’s that was pretty AWESOME. STEVE AVILA is THE RAMS OFFENSIVE LINE LEADER.
I get The Jackson & Jackson thing,but haven(stein) Joseph Noteboom healthy & playing LG again with the absence of Brian Allen is HUGE !! No more undersized OFFENSIVE LINEMAN upfront.There’s about a TON of BEEF with JohN,Steve & Kevin.

The photo was from a power rush against Noteboom.It shows Steve Avila pushing & supporting Noteboom on the waste to help him with leverage. The RAMS OFFENSIVE LINE is NEXT LEVEL.
—Don’t know about you,but RAM FAN HATERS just like with ROGER SAFFOLD don’t APPRECIATE The HARDWORK that goes into The Kraft.
—LMFAO - OLDSCHOOL all your drafting time you spent— WHAT A JOKE now that it has come back to me with your thoughts of a LT!! You in itself didn’t & or don’t get it !!

JARED VERSE is such a LEADER !! I mean he is already leading The Rams defensive front.Just & maybe more important was Hoecht singing than AJAXS ? That’s if The Rams were going to go LT!! WTF would The Rams look like without this 2024 DRAFT CLASS ?? Just glad your a solid poster & not The GM !!

Going in this direction —WOW - I mean Fiske is just grinding,but having Verse with Hoecht & Young. Those guys are going to push each other & bring amazing ENERGY !! I love Steve Avila,but Verse is talking his talk to.
Joesph Noteboom is my guy.I mean go ask Andrew Whitworth who is THE GREASTEST RAMS FREE AGENT EVER what he thinks about his BOY! Sean Mcvay is NOTEBOOMS biggest FAN. He knows the work is getting done & Johan will slide right into that LG spot.
—I’ll keep telling RAM FANS don’t sit on Joseph Noteboom - he is still going to FIGHT 4 that LEFT TACKLE SPOT !! He’s healthy & working hard.
LMAO - the CRAZY thing about your RAMS DRAFTING a LT is who on The The O’Line gets CUT ???

I almost wish for 4 preseason games again with The Rams depth.
Jimmy G might not be so Happy going out a few series with a bunch of backups.Then again throwing to this young group of WR’s might be exciting to see who emerges.This JJ Lapp might surprise? Tyler Jonson is a wonderful vet,Stoops.Then is Whittington all that ?

Don’t forget Raheem Morris was not all in,in the way of winning.
In a long list of things you've said with absolutely no basis in reality, fact or even intelligent thought this absolutely takes the cake. Go the hell away and please don't ever quote me again :D

My BAD !! Glad it went the way it did.We’ll see the snap Count & who starts at LT when the season starts.

So Ram pulling some stupidity out of his ass and saying Raheem Morris didn't care about winning. How completely ignorant do you have to be to think a guy coaching in the NFL doesn't care about winning.

No we don't mind, let McVay use it. And it's 100% happening because 99 retired. They're writing our D off as terrible like a lot here did last year.
Look at you talking smack. I agree with your statement on all the Raheem Morris HATERS around here.I’ll eat CROW because you had The Rams drafting Jared Verse.

What I’ll say it’s not 100% because of #99 imo.There is a lot that goes into it.Trying to talk myself into a Vegas trip.If I agreed with that I’d already been there.
I guess my question then would be your thoughts on Shula vs. Raheem Morris or any other of Mcvay’s DC’s. In Shula’s words he’ll take a little from each of those DC’s from his time with The Rams.

No reason the Rams can't have a good defense without AD. 31 teams didn't have him over the years and some had pretty good defenses. Can't replace him but they can still build a good defense.
