wvParticipantwvParticipantEmmanuel Acho (who played for the Browns and Eagles) has never raved about Stafford like THAT before. Jeezus.
I’m glad he started with the throw in the windy cold chicago weather to Davante. In clutch time. In a playoff game. Just ridiculous.
As was the no-look throw over the middle to Kupp in the Super Bowl.
Stafford, like Aaron Donald is a Hall of Famer.
Are we allowed to wonder if he is ‘better than Brady’ ? I suppose not.

vwvParticipantFrom the Rodrigue NYT article above:
“…A senior front-office source shared examples of some of his own team’s tags, which appear as small pictures within the reports in their system:
Bounce dryer sheets — player lacks bulk, strength
Picture of a raw steak — raw player
Orange juice carton — player has juice
Pacifier — player is immature
T. rex — player has short arms
Eddie Haskell — team feels player is not being honest
Stick figure — player weight is below a certain threshold …”

vwvParticipantBack in my day, we had a sophisticated offense too. (from the coryell tree)
It was: ‘Go down and out, to the Left’ or, ‘Go down and out, to the Right.’
w
vwvParticipantmy one worry. he’s supposedly elite at the slot but only good outside, and he’s going to have to play on the outside with the rams.
I think they will move him around, inside, outside. I mean, why not.
Hybrids and flexible players seem to be more important than ever.

wvParticipantI must say, the Rosenthal-Rodrigue-Claybon-Wolfe vid is fun as it meanders along. References to Chekov, the Gutenberg Bible, the apocalyptic novel ‘The Bear’ (in which the Protagonist is eaten. Claybon asks if this is a ‘metaphor for colonialism’) and author George Saunders.
Go Rams

vwvParticipantRodrigue: “Great for the Rams because they can’t draft corners”
w
vwvParticipantRodrigue, Rosenthal.
wvParticipantI’m not a Kyler Murray fan, but saw this stat. He has the 6th most passing yards since 2019.
He was behind only: Mahomes, Dak, Herbert, Josh, Lamar.
w
vwvParticipant“Damn”
wvParticipantChiefs fans seem very happy with the deal. Haven’t come across a single disgruntled Chiefs fan, regarding the trade.
Rams fans seem to like the trade too. Except for Zooey. But then Zooey wanted Amp Lee instead of Marshall Faulk as i recall.
w
vwvParticipantSaw this on a vid:
Rams allowed nine individual 100-yard-receiving games in 2025.
Only the Steelers allowed more (11).w
vwvParticipant“All in”
wvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantWin-now mode trade.
They could have drafted a CB with the 29th pick, and a CB with the 3rd rd pick next yr. As well as CBs with the 5th and 6th rd picks.
But this guy is a solid vet ready to go for the ring next season.
Now what do they do at 13?
W
VwvParticipantJust a bit of Rodrigue on Mike McDonald. (yes, i’m still fascinated by mike macdonald and his defense)
“Ominous respect”
wvParticipantHow old are you guys.
I just turned 72.
I ain’t nowhere near retiring though.
I be 69 in April. (483 in Malamute years).
I didnt retire because i wanted to, my memory is just too eroded to do jury trials and stuff these days. Wouldnt trust myself.
w
vwvParticipantI can relate. I’m about to retire, too.
I basically ‘retired’ myself. Its why i post more 🙂
Enjoying old-age, memory-loss, caretaking,
propagandized savage-populations, and
capitalism’s complete destruction of all life on the planet.Go Rams.
w
vwvParticipantMid-evil garden plants. (i have Golden Alexander in my yard)
wvParticipantCowherd noted: Bears 28 yr-old starting center just retired. Stanford guy. Drew Dalman.
w
vwvParticipantCardinals released Kyler Murray today. Dunno what the cap hit is.
w
vwvParticipantHumpback Whales seem to be the onliest animals to seek out and fight mammal-eating-orcas. (not all orcas are ‘mammal-eating’. Some orcas only eat fish)
wvParticipantTy.
wvParticipantAll true.
I make rice n beans every week. I alternate. One batch with red, the next with black.

#Rams Secondary were bad for 2 months straight. Pleasant was responsible for that group, plus his Game Planning as Pass Coordinator.Failures from that group are why Rams aren’t Superbowl Champions right now.
Also, this will be the 2nd time Pleasant has been Fired. Lions let him go mid-season after the disaster job he did with them in 2022 as Pass Game Coordinator & DB Coach.
Wow. Well that explains the pleasant thing.
Special teams and Secondary.
w
vwvParticipantMcShay and Mike Mayock on the Eisen show alluded to the odd thing about this draft — the blue-chip players in this draft tend to be at positions that are not the premium-positions. “Do you take a guard or a safety or linebacker or a RB with a top ten pick?”
w
vwvParticipantNFC is indeed loaded. And thats ‘before’ the draft and free agency.
I do not wanna see Max Crosby become an Eagle or Bear. Stay in the AFC, MaXX.
And whats with the two XXs ?w
vwvParticipantYou would think they would be tempted to take that RB guy if he is still there at 13. I can’t imagine he will get by the Chiefs, though. But stranger things have happened.
Yeah, the kid from Notre Dame – Love.
USA Today’s latest mock has the Rams taking a WR and a QB.
I cant totally dismiss it as ridiculous either, since I have read people raving about Denzel Boston. Some folks have him as the best WR in the bunch.

v13. Los Angeles Rams (from Atlanta Falcons) – WR Denzel Boston, Washington
LA had the league’s No. 1 passing game in 2025 – in large part due to Puka Nacua’s heroics. But Davante Adams, 33, was the only other productive wideout and battled injuries late in the season and is only under contract for one more year. Boston (6-4, 212) is the kind of supersized red-zone target (20 TD catches since 2024) and boundary receiver who could provide an easy transition from Adams while perfectly complementing Nacua.

29. Rams – QB Ty Simpson, AlabamaAn organization that hasn’t had multiple first-round picks since 2014 is in the enviable position of bolstering the roster around QB Matthew Stafford in a bid to make up just a bit of ground on the Super Bowl champion Seahawks … or maybe use some of that capital on a successor for Stafford. Simpson might be that guy even though injuries and inconsistency – including an atypically weaker Crimson Tide roster – caused him to tail off after a strong start in 2025. With only 15 college starts, landing in a spot where he could sit and watch for a year or two – or three – while absorbing first-class tutelage would be hugely beneficial.
