    I 100% came away from my conversation with Puka today realizing Cooper Kupp simply just being around but also being some kind of dad/big brother was a big part of why Puka was this good this quickly that we probably don’t talk enough about

    On the Puka comment about video games.

    I am old, so i remember all the stories about the 70s Raiders and such.  And stories about Babe Ruth,  Billy Martin and Mickey Mantle and such.  Lawrence Taylor.  Ya know.  Players just getting drunk the night before games, etc and so forth.

    But i wonder if such types of players exist anymore?   I dunno if that kind of conduct could exist in today’s NFL.    I suppose video games are about as bad as it gets nowadays.

    from https://www.turfshowtimes.com/2024/2/8/24066583/puka-nacua-rams-drops-super-bowl-rookies

    PFF did a study in 2021 to ask how responsible QBs are for dropped passes, and actually Matthew Stafford had one of the lowest rates in the NFL from 2016-2021.

    From The Best (And Worst) Quarterback in the History of Every NFL Franchise: https://thesportsdrop.com/cl/selecting-every-nfl-teams-best-and-worst-quarterback-of-all-time/inf?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=R8AA2A_US_0209_ART290_AE_BWQB_V22B_TR_SD&twclid=21sstji3afjdfgugryk11dwc98

    Rams’ Best: Kurt Warner

    It’s the story we’ve heard many times over; in fact, they made a move out of it. Warner was just a guy who went from being an Arena Football League castoff to grocery store bag boy to completely unknown backup quarterback to the starting quarterback of one of the most prolific offenses in NFL history.

    After Dick Vermeil was forced to turn to Warner, most people feared the worst. Instead, Warner and the Rams set the record for the most productive offense in NFL history in 1999 en route to winning the franchise’s only Super Bowl championship.

    While Warner would spend time with other teams later in his career, it was with the Rams that he won his two MVP awards, leading the league in passing touchdowns and passer rating in both 1999 and 2001 while leading the league in completion percentage three straight years from 1999 to 2001.

    During those three seasons, there was nobody better, and even with Matthew Stafford leading the Rams to a Super Bowl win, they’ve never found anyone better.

    Rams’ Worst: Dan Pastorini

    Even though he spent only one year with the Los Angeles Rams (in 1981), Pastorini certainly made his mark on the franchise, just not in a good way. Pastorini threw two touchdown passes but a laughable 14 interceptions that year, giving him an unbelievable 1:7 ratio of touchdown passes to interceptions.

    Before joining the Rams, Pastoring actually had a nice run with the Oilers. His career numbers aren’t that bad despite a 50.9% completion rate. But there was nothing left in the tank when he got to Los Angeles, and it’ll be hard for the Rams to find somebody worse.

    …

    Rams are getting there and we are all encouraged by the great 2023 season.

    But…to get there, and be a top team, they still have some improving to do. 6 of the teams on that list beat them in 2023.
