You guys the man. But myself I have always considered my wife and family first. Just me I guess. And while ideally everything should be 50/50. In my experience it never is and I am ok with that. Again just me.

Don't get me wrong, if making your wife happy is what makes ya happy then I'm all for it. I put my family first as well but I'm also of the belief that we are all in charge of our own happiness and we should strive for that. It's just when I hear that saying, it's usually people that don't want to piss their wife off so they walk on eggshells which is not how it should work. Both should be happy. I agree with you that nothing is 50/50 as well especially when you here that phrase, "I need your muscles," and proceed to carry something that weighs 1000 pounds lol.

I listen to it for the Stafford insight and when it switches to the mom stuff I check out
Stafford would be foolish not to consider retirement. After the last stretch of games, I think he should retire. He has a wife, a family, and more than enough money. He also has his Super Bowl ring!
I don't blame Stafford's wife for speaking up. If he suffers CTE, she's the one who will have to care for him. She has every right to want to protect his health, particularly when they're financially secure. If he retires, I won't blame him. I knew this was a possibility when we traded for him.

I feel like a shit for bringing this up, since my last two posts seemed to start something (Evans sucks, then 2 weeks later it seems that take is national news… and Stafford maybe retiring…)
Maybe i should start another outrageous thread that’s positive…
Breaking: Rams make blockbuster deal for Lamar Jackson!
Too soon?

Honestly, it would be kind of hilarious if our first round pick traded for Stafford results in the Lions trading up for a potential franchise QB, which results in them getting rid of Goff, and then we bring Goff back to replace the retiring Stafford as a bridge QB.
I wonder if we could grab and sit Zach Wilson behind Stafford in 2023?
Could McVay salvage him?
I have seen VERY LITTLE of Wilson as a pro, but he was right there with Trevor Lawrence for me in that class.

He's on a 1st round contract though, will make almost 10 mill between 23 & 24 guaranteedI wonder if we could grab and sit Zach Wilson behind Stafford in 2023?

That's a lot of cheddar for a project
I suppose if he is released and clears waivers, he could be signed for league minimum and Jets pick up the difference?
Eeew. Yeah… That is a lot of $.
I am not sure the Jets are desperate enough to give up on him, anyway.
I live in NYC and have seen every snap of Zach Wilson's career; and I don't know if he can play.I wonder if we could grab and sit Zach Wilson behind Stafford in 2023?

First-off, New York is a weird sports-town. Especially with pro football. Especially with the Jets. NY fans think the Jets teams, their head coaches and their quarterbacks are either great or awful. There is no in-between. And the opinions change from week-to-week! It's like nothing I have observed anywhere else.
Thought the Jets rushed to start Wilson in Week 1 of his rookie season. Thought the talent around him was awful in 2021 (reminded me of Goff's rookie season). The Jets' had a lot of injuries last season. Did not feel like I could reasonably or accurately judge Wilson's play. Plus, he had a mid-year injury.
Thought the Jets did a really good job in up-grading their offensive talent in the off-season; and 2022 would be a good opportunity to evaluate Wilson. Nope. At least not in my opinion. He was injured in the first pre-season game; and did not play until Week 4 of the Regular Season.
Injuries hit the Jets' OL almost as hard as it has hit the Rams. Almost. The Jets have lost 5 of the top-10 OL for a significant number of games. For the Rams, it's 8 of their top-10.
Right now, Wilson looks lost. Mechanics are poor. Short throws have way too much air on them; and he is badly short-hopping longer passes over-the-middle. By-the-way, Robert Saleh's defense looks exactly like the Niners' defense, with eight DL rotating; and the Jets' defenders don't tackle. They blow-up opponents.
While many Jets' fans and much of the equally-fickle NY-sports-media want the Jets to move-on, I don't believe the Jets want to do that. Saleh and GM Joe Douglas are really tied to Zach Wilson.
Personally, I thought Sam Darnold was better with the Jets than what I have see thus far with Wilson. Darnold is the guy that I would like to see the Rams make a move-on in the off-season. Depending upon how he finishes-out in Carolina, Darnold seems like a practical and reasonable option to back-up Stafford.
Darnold should be affordable. Maybe just a one-year deal. Come home to California after a rough experience on the East Coast (God-less New Yorkers!). Play for an offensive head coach. Behind an older QB, coming off injuries, Re-charge, re-focus. Maybe it turns into a great opportunity. Despite this being his fifth season, Darnold is only 25. He has mobility; and handles himself well (based on my observations when he was in NY).
Another thing to consider ... for anyone that would like the Rams to up-grade at back-up QB ... is that there are not 32 good NFL starting-QBs. Most of the decent options that may be available, will be looking for opportunities to start; and will get paid pretty well. Being realistic, Sam Darnold makes some sense.

He was pounded this year behind a offensive line that this Rams Administration may or may not be able to build.
Of course he's going to consider it but I think he's too competitive and he'll be back.
He's not done yet.
Because I also follow Carolina I know they're about ready to release Baker Mayfield which is ridiculous because he never really got a chance at Carolina.
And and we know he can play.
I see Baker being an excellent backup for a couple years and then still have enough in him to take over for a couple more.

I think I might prefer us drafting a guy that McVay likes in the 4-6th round and groom/develop that guy to take over in 1-3 years. Maybe even 3rd round if they believe he can be the guy.
The 2nd chance former top pick guys can be looked it as well in the meantime. But for the LT, I want a young buck that McVay can mold into his guy.

I have to ask - who would you go for if the lions get a high top 5 pick and Houston gets the top QB
I am watching Michigan vs Ohio State and CJ Stroud is okay but that much better than Goff - doubtful
Edit - he is two or three years away from being better than Goff IMHO
