wvParticipantCarson Wentz trade rendered invisible because of the Wilson and Rogers situations, but, as Cowherd noted, Wentz threw 27 TDs and 7 pix, last season.
94.6 rating.
2017, he threw 33 TDs and 7 INTs.
2019, he threw 27 TD’s and 7 INTs
2018 he threw 21 TDs and 7 INTs. And had a 102 QB rating.
I dunno. He’s got leadership issues, etc, but I think Washington got an upgrade at QB. If I’m a Dallas fan, I’m a little more nervous about Washington.

On the slim chance that can’t happen, then I’ll explore all my options.Rams Brothers@RamsBrothersVon Miller is prioritizing his future with the Rams, because of the people in the Rams’ facilities. Their culture is the best in the league. You’d have to be falling into a position that’s obviously superior in order to want to leave this team. Nearly impossible at this point.===
I am persuaded that the Rams ‘culture’ may very well be ‘the best in the league’
etc, and so forth — but Von aint stayin.
No way, a team can afford two first-ballot Hall of Famers on one D-Line.

Doesnt matter to me if the rams sign anyone. I dont care if they go 0-17 next year. I’m just going to rewatch that no-look pass over and over
for the rest of my days.
But you people, go ahead and live in the present.

wvParticipantMarch 8, 2022 at 3:52 pm in reply to: Seattle trades Wilson to Denver…update, & release Wagner #137362wvParticipantDenver fans having a parade, I’m sure.
Fandom is easier when ya got a great QB.
The last time the Rams had a great QB, he mangled his thumb, and we only got, what, 3 full healthy-kurt-years.
Let us hope Stafford gives us 5 more years.
So much fun having a stone-cold-gunslinger.

March 8, 2022 at 2:13 pm in reply to: Rams internal FAs & contract issues (updated w/ big article] #137355wvParticipantI’d be shocked if they found a way to keep Von Miller. How in the heck could one team keep both Aaron Donald and Von Miller.
I have No idea what kind of contract ‘any’ team could give OBJ at this point.
I mean, how do you bet on a WR with this kind of injury history?
I guess, you could figure out some kind of incentive-based contract
but I dunno if OBJ would go for it.
Stafford sign for ‘under’ 40 million a year? Again, I’d be surprised. Mahommes is, what 45? Josh Allen i think is 43. Aaron Rogers wants 50 or so. Why would Stafford be ok with 35?

wvParticipant… Just look on from afar, etc. In horror and amazement. WV has mentioned in the past that’s he’s been doing anthropological studies of Left Twitter, but I don’t know his “handle.” Given that you’re both Seahawks fans, you must talk a lot about Seattle? I suppose I could always duckduckgo “leftist Seahawk fans.” ;>)

wvParticipantThis seems weird to me. This acct followed me about a month ago (and follows wv, who follows back). It has 12 followers, the same amount it had a month ago when it followed me. The acct has been listed under my Who to Follow recommendations ever since. A month or more now. Other basically No Profile accts have followed me over that time, too, but they never show up as a recommendation. WTF?

wvParticipantAna Paquin plays Snooky in True Blood. If you’ve never seen it you should. There were many corny moments in the movie. It wasn’t great, or even good. But I did find myself pridefully thinking “Yes!” during the reenactment of the historic plays Kurt made.
=====
Well, I might have liked it more than you. I mean, I hated the ‘message’ of
“you can make it in this country if you just believe and persevere”. That whole “If-you-are-rugged-faithful and work hard, you too can make it
under capitalism.” Obviously, that message is ultra-problematic and hides
a shit-ton of things behind the curtain.
So, ‘that’ part of all these movies is awful and barely watchable.
But leaving that aside 🙂 — I probly liked it more than you. I was expecting it to be WAY worse. I thought the actor who played Kurt captured the essence of ‘Kurtness’ and the sports scenes were fine.
It was interesting how they depicted Martz. He only had a few short scenes but there was a lot there. Who knows how fair any of that was.
I remember thinking they always make out DV to be the good cop and Martz the bad cop — but DV had to have known what a prick Martz was being. So he must have been ok with that approach. So why does DV get to be the lovable old guy?
I wondered as i watched, if Kurt and Brenda would have stayed together if he had not gotten the pro contract. The lord must have wanted them to be 2gether.

“…What mistakes have European countries made to get to this point?
Regarding Ukraine, Europe’s greatest error was to defer to Washington and to NATO. Washington misled successive Ukrainian governments with promises the United States was never going to keep, egging them on toward a confrontation with Moscow that endangered peace in Europe. In an important sense, the United States succeeded in justifying the expansion of NATO with the argument that NATO was the only shield from tensions the United States had helped create. Washington did not care about Ukraine or Europe. And Europe blindly played along, serving Washington’s interests by going along with America’s investment in tensions with Russia. History will condemn EU leaders for falling behind the US agenda and, for this, reason failing to fulfil the EU’s fundamental promise to Europeans: No war on our Continent.

What is your opinion of Putin’s decisions?
He will be included in History’s annals in the chapter reserved for brutal leaders who chose an avoidable war (rather than be forced into one). Long before Ukraine, to establish his regime, he had committed abominable war crimes in Chechnya. My greatest fear is that, if Ukrainians continue to resist bravely (which, make no mistake, I want them to!), he will flatten Kiyv with the same brutality that he demolished Grozny, killing tens of thousands of civilians.

wvParticipantFormer insider and Colin Powell ally – Larry Wilkerson’s view, fwiw:
wvParticipantTaylor may have had a better year than Kupp.
hmmm… good point. the running back position is almost a forgotten position isn’t it? it used to be almost as important as quarterback. when i first started watching football, i watched guys like barry sanders and emmitt smith. legends. and then faulk and tomlinson. i thought gurley had a chance to reach that echelon. but that knee wouldn’t hold up. it’s rare that you get a running back putting up those kind of numbers nowadays.
========
I suppose Deebo is the perfect modern RB-hybrid. Every team would
like a Deebo.
w
v
wvParticipantwell. kupp has only done it for one season. maybe two. so that hurts him…
…kupp seems to fit this offense so well. not just with the catching and the running. but with the blocking. the run after the catch ability. even rushing the ball… he’s like a running back. i don’t know that the above mentioned wide receivers can bring all those elements to the table like coop can.
======
Just as an aside, i was looking at Receiving stats, and Rushing stats.
J Taylor had 1811 rush yards. At no.2 Nick Chubb had 1259.
Thats quite a difference between the no.1 and no.2 rankings.
I dont think any other category has that kind of drop-off between
the top player and the no.2 player.
Taylor may have had a better year than Kupp.
w
v
wvParticipantLook at the Yards per catch of Ja’marr Chase and Deebo Samuel.
Chase – 18
Deebo – 18.2
No-one else is close to those two. Now, I can see Chase having that kind of stat. But Deebo? Damn.
Receiving stats:https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/stat/receiving/table/receiving/sort/receivingYards/dir/desc
Kupp is 13.4.
Davante Adams 12.6
======
w
v
wvParticipantSo, who is the ‘best’ WR in the NFL ?
I still keep hearing the talking-heads
pick Davante Adams. I cant think of a single National talking head
who thinks Kupp is the best in the NFL.
I never watch Adams so, I dont know much about him.
I always think of Tyreek Hill of the Chiefs, myself. He seems like
“the most dangerous” to me. Then there’s Chase of the Bengals.
And then there’s that white guy on the rams.

wvParticipantDonald is one of the best defensive player I’ve ever seen and I go back to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, and Randy White.One of the best? With all due respect to Mean Joe Greene, Alan Page, Randy White, et. al… they aren’t in the same class as Aaron Donald. I watched all those guys too, and none of them were as dominant as AD. I get the reluctance to proclaim a player ‘the best ever’, and the desire to be respectful of the great ones of the past, but c’mon… It’s like saying Alaska is one of the biggest states in the US, cheetahs are one of the fastest cats, Zooey is one of the most annoying posters… At this point, saying he’s only *one* of the best despite the statistical and videographic evidence to the contrary is actually disrespectful to AD. Hey, but if you want to risk adding another chip to those hyper-muscled shoulders, so be it.
=======
I dunno. I hate the whole ‘who is the best player’ question. I mean, how in the world do you ‘compare’ Jerry Rice and Merlin Olsen ? Lawrence Taylor and Orlando Pace? Deacon and Lance Allworth?
Its hard enough just to compare same-position-players from different eras.
Like Merlin vs Aaron Donald. Can Donald do it as long as Merlin did?
Merlin couldnt pass-rush the way Donald can, but Donald couldnt stuff the run as consistently as Merlin did.
I dunno. If i ‘had’ to play one version of the game, best I could do ….Donald
is the best DT of his era. His era being, somewhere around a decade or so.
Also, Zooey is the one of the most annoying “California” posters
of his era.

Does that mean he had a different kind of injury or that he already
had a ‘rebuilt’ ACL or what?
wvParticipantGod, and Aaron Donald, and Von Miller
blessed him.
