wvParticipant“A field.”
wvParticipantI don’t understand not having one of those guys on the roster already. This is a super bowl year. You get your #2 on the roster before camp starts. Stetson Bennett is expendable. By the time Simpson takes over, Bennett is probably gone anyway.
Yeah, its a problem. I assume the Rams thought they could get JimmyG but they couldnt and then whatever planB they had fell apart.
There’s always Philip Rivers 🙂

vwvParticipantwvParticipantHow can we be us.
wvParticipantAndrew Berry, the Browns Harvard-educated GM sounds like a bright guy.
But then…
wiki
Cleveland Browns (second stint)On January 27, 2020, Berry returned to the Cleveland Browns and was hired to be their general manager and executive vice president of football operations.[4] The move made him the youngest GM in NFL history at the time at age 32.[5]
The largest move of Berry’s tenure as Browns GM came after the 2021 season, during which starting quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered a torn labrum. Berry and the Browns traded for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, despite Watson’s ongoing legal issues involving repeated sexual assault allegations. The Browns received Watson and a sixth-round pick, while the Texans received three first-round picks and three fourth-round picks. Watson was then made the highest paid quarterback in league history. The trade is considered by many commentators to be the worst trade in NFL history.[6][7][8][9][10] Berry noted that the rest of the front office was onboard with the decision to make the trade.[11]
On June 5, 2024, the Browns signed Berry to a contract extension.[12] The Browns finished the 2024 season tied for the worst record in the league at 3–14.[13]
After another disappointing 5-12 season in 2025, Andrew Berry worked with the owner of the Cleveland Browns, Jimmy Haslam, to move on from Kevin Stefanski and hire a new head coach in Todd Monken. The hire was made official January 28, 2026, marking a significant change in the direction of the Cleveland Browns organization
wvParticipantThere are humans who play sports, who read books.
wvParticipantWell, if Stafford gets hurt, I would guess the first call the Rams make is to JimmyG. The second to Russell Wilson, maybe.

vwvParticipant“…a person who willfully inflicts corporal injury” against a spouse.
…reported that “Jackson thought the woman was recording him with her phone and allegedly tried to take the phone out of her hand….”
===================Obviously i have no idea what happened….but my public-defender eye-brow is raised a bit. I’m wondering if he was over-charged. Just sounds like more of a misdemeanor situation than a felony.
Puka and Aleric. Sigh.
w
vwvParticipantmore than anything i figure they want a ring.
and they recognize mcvay’s and snead’s team building acumen. and they recognize mcvay’s abilities to almost always come up with good game plans to put them in a position to put up numbers. the rest is probably just noise to them and selling the league.Ah yes. The Precious.
w
vwvParticipantThat is a very mixed bag, that tendency of McVay’s. On the one hand, they dumped decent players to get Ramsey, Stafford, Adams, and Garrett. Turns out the grass actually can be greener. On the other hand, as you say–-he’s a greedy creature of the moment and full-in when he wants a player, and then equally a greedy creature of the moment when he sees something new he wants and unloads players (like Woods and Kupp and almost Adams).
It’s the opposite of Vermeil, who always wanted to keep players around, even when it was guys like Lawrence Phillips.
Exactly.
w
vwvParticipantas long as he’s been in this league, i’m sure he understands the business. just looking at the rams the past ten years you figure someone was leaving. didn’t figure it to be jared. again.
i want to see myles and davante get one this year. that’ll be fun to see. grown men crying.
Well, yes, ‘its a business.’ But its also not ‘just’ a business. Relationships matter, i think. And here you have McVay doing all this gushing and promoting the idea that he really wanted Davante to be a Ram. I mean he went out of his way to sell Devante on the idea that McVay thought he was special, etc. That was just last year.
And then after all that gushing, the very next season McVay tries to trade him for the problem-child-AJ Brown.
I know Davante is a professional, and i dont doubt he ‘took it well’ — but how do you take McVay’s words seriously after that? Would you go to war for a coach that did that?
I dunno.
w
vwvParticipantSo, has any reporter asked Davante how he feels about the fact the Rams would have traded him for AJ Brown if they could have worked out a trade with a third team for Davante?
w
vwvParticipantIt is dark in your world.
Ahhh. I loved King Willie. If i’d been a producer, I’d have given him a movie of his own.
Perhaps he was talkin bout myles: “there’s no stoppin what cant be stopped”
w
vwvParticipantTicket prices. (what do Rams tickets cost, btw? just curious)
wvParticipantIn their game last year (11/30 in Cleveland), 49ers led the whole way and won 26-8. In spite of playing from behind all game, Garrett had 1 sack, 2 TFLs, and 3 qb hits. Purdy was pressured on 32.3% of his dropbacks. That’s in spite of throwing just 29 times (for 168 yards). He also had 17.4% bad throws. Of the 9 regular season games he played, Purdy faced a higher pressure rate again Seattle in their 1st game, but no other game had such a high percentage of bad throws.
I posted something somewhere in this thread stating that SF’s legendary LOT Trent Wms. gave up the highest pressure percentage of his entire career going against Garrett that game.
The football gods only allow the Rams to win a ring once every two decades or so.
So, I’m wondering which quarter of the first game, Garrett will be eaten by a Shark, or possibly a salt-water crocodile.
Then again, the Inland Taipan is the deadliest snake in the world. So there’s that.
Also, the Sydney Funnel-Web spider.

vwvParticipantIt will be very interesting to see how the genius-Shanahan handles Myles Garrett.

vwvParticipantBrandon Thorn@BrandonThornNFL
The more OL I study, the more convinced I am that coaching/scheme/environment are the biggest hidden variables…Well, if the QB is part of the ‘environment’ then sure. Cause having an old wily talented hall-of-fame veteran is a great help to an OLine. I remember thinking that back when Brady was winning in Tampa Bay. Its just a ridiculous advantage. No matter how talented Caleb is Drake May etc, it aint the same as having someone who has seen it all and can process fast.
Granted, there’s a limit. We’ve seen Stafford bulgerized in the post-super-year.
I remember back when the Rams had fucking-super-talented monster OLines. In the 70’s and the 80’s. And they never won it all.
But in 2000 and 2022 when they did win it all, it seemed like they had one great Linemen and the rest were just ‘solid’. Dunno.
w
vwvParticipantI am re-watching the WIRE. Haven’t seen it in years. I’m only on episode 2, season 1.
But it still holds up.My question is, WHY, in all these years has there been nothing as good? Just my opinion, but thats what i think. WTF is wrong with american-tv-writers and american-tv-producers ?
I know a lot of people liked Breaking Bad, and the Sopranos and some other series, but I dont think they are in the same zip-code as The Wire. Not even close.
Looks to me like there’s The Wire. And then, there’s a bunch of ‘pretty ok’ stuff. And then there’s a vast wasteland of shit.
wvParticipantEdelman on Myles
wvParticipantI wonder why AD is thinking about a comeback now. Why would the signing of Myles Garrett change any of his algebra?
w
vwvParticipantJust speculating from all the hints that are out there. First, Garrett had a no-trade clause. He had a lot of control over where he went. If he wouldn’t waive the clause, there would be no trade. That helped narrow down the teams being considered, and the Rams have become a dream team for top players who think about a new home. But also the Browns wanted a player in the trade. The Eagles were in the mix, but Cleveland asked for Jalen Carter, and Philadelphia wouldn’t do it….
…
Well the timing is important. They are arguing the Rams were sure at the time of the Simpson pick. And they hadnt offered Verse back then, had they?
I dunno, I guess they could have known that they were gonna offer Verse if they had to.
w
vwvParticipantNot sure I buy the idea that the Rams were sure they were gonna get Garrett. I mean how could they be? How did they know some other team wouldnt offer more?
w
vwvParticipantIf he comes back, I certainly hope its not early in the season. I’d hope that he would not try to play a bunch of games at his age.
Maybe come back with a few games left in the regular season. Like maybe get a few snaps in the 49er game December 13, then a few more in the Dallas game….

vwvParticipantThis has to be the best Rams team on paper we’ve ever seen, doesn’t it? Hard to say, but it’s a formidable roster and coaching staff. They were neck-and-neck last year for the best team in the NFL, and when they added McDuffie, they became the clear favorite. Then they added Watson, and now the DPOY. They are considered the best team in the NFL, and the Super Bowl favorite. #1 in all the rankings (when they come out).
Undefeated is not a thing, though, and let’s face it, we’ve seen this storyline before…
Best paper-Rams team ever?
I dunno. There’s no Faulk on this team. Ike and Holt were both in their prime. Davante is near the end of his career. Kevin Carter was a beast. Granted Myles is better, but Myles is almost 31 — se we’ll see. Ricky Proehl and Az Hakim are better than any of this years back-ups I’d say.
Gotta go with the GSOT. Now…if Donald comes back and he’s still Donald…
As far as ‘Undefeated’ hype etc, yeah we’ve seen many storylines about mega-all-star teams that are supposed to scorch the league. I recall Washington signed a bunch of stars one year, I think. And they imploded. …time will tell. I just hope the Rams aren’t buying into the hype. ‘Gotta get to work’ would be a nice motto this year.
w
vwvParticipantI guess Myles has a famous partner. Chloe Kim is a gold medalist in snowboarding.
wvParticipantKupp on the Donald situation: “I already texted him and he’s not allowed” (to come back)
wvParticipantOrlavsky on the Aaron Donald rumor : “…after hearing that with Pat, my gut tells me this is more than likely going to happen’
wvParticipantI cant watch the media this week. They are actually discussing whether the Rams will now go UNDEFEATED this year.
I dunno if zooey is behind this, but apparently the Rams will never lose again.

wvParticipantMyles makes a ‘QB Graveyard’ every year.
