wvParticipantwvParticipantDoes any of that change if another team signs kupp?
And if Kupp signs with the 49ers can felony charges be filed?
w
vwvParticipantI think that’s all basically true, with this one caveat. Garagepollo is not clutch. He may even be anti-clutch. He is at the very least, unclutch. He can get you through a game plan and even be very efficient doing it. But give him the ball with 2 minutes to go down by 3, and his heart turns to ungelled pudding. It’s the opposite of Stafford. Recently Dotson said of Stafford that in the clutch moments of a game, even his eyes are different. He zones in.
The Los Angeles Rams dont NEED a ‘clutch’ QB. They will be ahead by 50 points by the third quarter in every game.
Maybe YOU should stop flaming.
w
vwvParticipantI think one of the most important decisions was to resign Jimmy-G.
JG may very well be the best no.2 QB in the NFL. Ya know.
If Stafford goes down we will not be subjected to one of McVay’s silly young project-QBs.

So, the 49ers:• Traded Deebo Samuel (Commanders), and released Kyle Juszczyk
• Lost the following in Free Agency: Aaron Banks (Packers), Charvarius Ward (Colts), Talanoa Hufanga (Broncos), Dre Greenlaw (Broncos), Jaylon Moore (Chiefs), Elijah Mitchell (Chiefs), Josh Dobbs (Patriots)Must suck to start a rebuild without a ring to look back on…
It’s kind of sad. I hope for the 49ers’ sake that at least they over-commit and overpay Brock Purdy, and he turns into David Carr.
McVay has a real chance to sweep Shannahan again.
I am in favor of that.

I dunno what epa means but i know the difference between 7 and 22.

“…LA Chargers fans weren’t asking for much this offseason. After a successful 2024 campaign, fans just wanted the Chargers to use their ample cap space wisely to bring back impact players and make external additions that make sense.As one of the most impactful Chargers free agents this offseason, fans desperately wanted defensive tackle Poona Ford to return to the team. With plenty of cap space, it seemed like a no-brainer that Ford would be back in Los Angeles….”
wvParticipantSo do the Rams have cap room this year? Seems like they havent had much cap space since the Super Bowl year.
w
vwvParticipantWell, shit. Aaron Rogers would have looked good in horns.
w
vIt’s true.

Here ya go.
O god, that picture made me ill.

vwvParticipantAri Meirov@MySportsUpdate
The #Rams have given permission to G Jonah Jackson to seek a trade, per @JFowlerESPN. LA signed the former Lions Pro Bowler to a 3-year, $51M contract last offseason.WHAT is McSnead up to this year?
w
vwvParticipant“.. holding the No. 26 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, they currently do not have a 2025 second-round pick after trading theirs to the Panthers..”
—Yeah, I would think they will at least ‘try’ to trade back. I doubt anyone is available at 26 who would be a game-changer.
Fascinating time. Everything starts with the Stafford decision. Imagine, starting next season without Stafford and Kupp.
w
vFebruary 24, 2025 at 6:32 pm in reply to: Stafford’s future … update, he signed & is staying #155194wvParticipantAgain, just my opinion, but i have thought Stafford was worth 50 million a year, for a while now.
Dak – 60 million
Love – 55
Burrow – 55
Trevor L – 55
Tua – 53
Goff – 53
Herbert – 52
Lamar – 52
Jalen H – 51w
vADDED BY EDIT (zn) … the issue being guaranteed money.

February 18, 2025 at 12:12 pm in reply to: Stafford’s future … update, he signed & is staying #155146wvParticipant“…An NFC executive who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity said if he were in the Rams’ position, he couldn’t get rid of Stafford because he’d be too hard to replace at his current level. An NFC coach said something similar, adding that he believed Stafford had at least one more year in him at his current level of play but noted if the Rams keep him, they’re only avoiding their future problem for that one additional year. …”
But its not like Stafford has only ONE additional year left. The way QBs are protected now, he could very well have two, three, or four elite years left. Even if he missed half the season in some of those years, the critical thing would be his availability in the playoffs.
The guy is a top six quarterback. He is paid like a middle-tier QB.
w
vFebruary 17, 2025 at 2:56 pm in reply to: Stafford’s future … update, he signed & is staying #155140wvParticipantI just cant believe the rams are dum enough to give up an elite QB with 2 to 4 more years left, for some draft picks.
If they dont PAY stafford, I will look at this much like the London Fletcher idiocy.
Stafford has been vastly UNDER-paid for years now. Jeezus, just look at the QBs making 50 million a year.
Just pay him.
w
vwvParticipantI know Philly looked amazing against KC, but I still dunno if the Eagles are better than a healthy Detroit team.
Rams played well against the top two NFC teams. Looking forward to seeing what Snead has in mind this offseason.
w
vwvParticipantwv’s chief complaint is that the Pirates have no money. Pirate’s lack of money, and RBs who fumble. His two complaints are that the Pirates have no money and RBs who fumble…and immobile QBs…. His *three* complaints are that the Pirates have no money, RBs who fumble…and immobile QBs…and a lack of raisin toast…. His four…no… amongst his complaints…are such elements as the Pirates have no money and RBs who fumble…. I’ll come in again.
Look, this IS a Pirate board. So, i dunno why a Dodger flamer like you, even posts here.
Oh, and Clemente was no fumbler.
w
vwvParticipantwell if you look at zooey’s chart of world series champs, theres only ONE that is from the bottom tier. that weird florida marlins team, that sold off all its players the next year
w
vwvParticipantSeemed like the chiefs looked lethargic, too. I know the eagles have powerful lines, but the chiefs just looked weak or tired or somethin.
w
vwvParticipantReminded me of what the Giants did to Brady. Just hammered him.
w
vwvParticipantI dont have a feel for this game. Both teams are kinda weird to me.
Guess I’ll go with Reid, Spags, Mahomes.
Chiefs – 27
Eagles – 24w
vwvParticipantI don’t know what’s going on with the Pirates. I have no idea who owns them, or what they’re doing. I have no idea what their revenue looks like. I don’t know how big Pittsburgh is. What I do know is that they are consistently near the bottom in payroll, and their payroll is so..
Well, here is the payroll for 2023.
==
MLB team payrolls in 2023. I have no idea who made the playoffs that year. But in past years, i have looked how the top ten did, versus the bottom ten in payroll. And every year i looked it, the results were purty predictable. There were always exceptions but the general idea held true every year. The bigger payroll teams did significantly better year in year out.I mean, do you really think if the 49ers had a payroll of 353 million and the Rams had a payroll of 56 million — year in year out — that the Rams could do as well as the 49ers?
N.Y. Mets, $353,546,854
N.Y. Yankees, $276,999,872
San Diego, $248,995,932
Philadelphia, $243,009,439
L.A. Dodgers, $222,717,834
L.A. Angels, $212,228,096
Toronto, $ 209,938,983
Atlanta, $203,077,500
Texas, $195,869,490
Houston, $192,667,233
San Francisco, $187,932,500
Chicago Cubs, $184,219,250
Boston, $181,207,484
Chicago White Sox, $181,158,666
St. Louis, $175,637,308
Colorado, $171,108,778
Minnesota, $153,588,740

Detroit, $122,235,500
Milwaukee, $118,761,987
Arizona, $116,471,292

Kansas City, $92,468,100
Miami, $91,700,000
Cleveland, 89,424,629
Cincinnati, $83,610,000
Pittsburgh, $73,277,500
Tampa Bay, $73,184,811
Baltimore, $60,722,300
Oakland, $56,895,000wvParticipantBaseball is more equal than football is, if you’re judging by outcomes, rather than team spending.
.Well, the last few times i looked into this, I didnt just look at the World Series. I looked at who made the playoffs and who didnt. So, at some point I will look at that again.
But I’m surprised you dont think the salary cap is an absolute good. Look at the Yankees salary and look at the Pirates. You telling me, the Pirates can compete with the Yankees year in and year out? With that much disparity?
w
vwvParticipantWhy does that seem so weird? Faulk as a RB coach for Deion Sander’s Colorado team.
w
vwvParticipantOne of my alltime favorite Rams. The Super Bowl run was incredible.
And yeah, he is still gonna make some great plays, and he’ll be good for a while longer, but its probly time to move on from him. I hate it, but its probly time.
w
vwvParticipantI will be cantankerous AND unruly if Matthew Stafford is not the Rams QB for the next two years.
And i want them to draft OLinemen who wont get hurt and know who the fuck to block.
w
vwvParticipantI dont really care about either team, but i do think its an interesting match-up. I dont know how anyone can bet against Reid/Mahomes/Spags but the Eagles just seem to be a team that might be able to ignore over-thinking and hi-brow strategy and just beat the shit out of KC. Ya know. Its like Ali vs Tyson or somethin. I dunno.
w
vwvParticipantI dunno. You start playing those good defenses during a playoff run, and you simply cannot fumble the ball. I dont trust KW. I think over a long season he can help you get to the playoffs, but once yer there, I think he can help you lose in the playoffs.
I mean, its not black and white, but fumbling, to me, is a HUGE problem. That fumble in the Eagle game should not have happened.
w
vwvParticipantHe fumbles.
