First gay 1,000 yard rusher.
First gay QB.
First gay man to 100 sacks.

I mean…I hope we don’t keep track of all of these milestones. I’m really ready to not care. I thought we did all this with Michael Sam.

A cop flipped over a pregnant woman's car because she didn't pull over quick enough.

Not only is what she did not wrong, it's what you're supposed to do: turning on hazards to indicate you're complying and pulling over at the next safe place to do so…

Jeff Bezos (who's worth $190 billion) legally paid $0 in taxes for two years and got a tax *credit* one year, while his company (which is worth $1.7 trillion) legally paid $0 in taxes for two years…

and people think workers getting $300/week on unemployment are the freeloaders

My concern is that Stafford won’t fully own the system this season. I read somewhere that there was a good QB – forget who – who took a couple years to make this transition that Stafford is now making.

Could be. But Goff picked it up in year 1. He was new to the offense in 2017 and did well that year. So McVay has been there before, bringing a new qb up to speed.

True. And that’s good to note. But I think it was something specific, not just a “new system.” It was something like going from a lifetime of shotgun to under center, and having to turn your back on the secondary in play action for the first time. That was the kind of thing. That wasn’t it, but it was a specific skill like that which is required in this system that he hasn’t had to do before, and the other QB I mentioned had to make that same specific skill adjustment. Maybe Goff didn’t have to make that particular change. I mean…it’s more than just learning a new governing strategy, and verbiage, and developing familiarity with the receivers. It was a specific QB skill. This bit I read (or heard) was in the trade aftermath, not recently. Couldn’t begin to search for it.

He’s potentially better than any qb we’ve seen with the Rams, maybe even including Warner (he has a stronger arm and better movement skills than Kurt). ‘

Don’t forget that Warner had the luxury of playing during the Chris Massey Era.

Um…

19th best center is middle-of-the-pack. Slightly below average.

20th best guard is a respectable ranking.

It may well be that he is a better center than that, but that isn’t a ranking to cheer about exactly.

Are we overvaluing 1st R #draft picks?

@SandoNFL
did some digging, and had this takeaway about picks 19-32 in the 1st round:

“I’d rather have a veteran player than those picks.”

Yeah, as I read ranking after ranking, all saying “The Rams look good…but will the lack of 1st round picks cost them?” I just thought, if the Rams win, the conventional wisdom on this will completely change, and everyone will just talk about trading #1s for veterans is the smartest thing to do…duh.

QB1!

Looks like the walk of a man who will be Super Bowl champion this time next year.
