    Well, we gotta hope McVay is a better learner than Goff.

    Cuz…really, tearing down a young guy like that constantly, and with increasing intensity, is a mistake. Like a “league source” said, you have to build his confidence, and McVay did the opposite of that.

    However, the word is that Goff just couldn’t read some defenses properly, and he should have got better at that. Can’t forget the great McVay in the headset scandal from their early years together. And we can’t forget that Jared Goff is probably the only student at UC Berkeley who could not accurately say where the sun rises and sets. I mean… it could just be that old Goff has a million dollar body and a ten cent head.

    In any event, the more I read about Stafford, the more exciteder I get.

    Yeah, I pondered threw some names around in my head for a first round guy who exited the NFL faster, and I can’t think of any. All the busts I can think of managed more than one year.

    I see he was picked 29th, so he didn’t come into the league with the same level of expectations as, say, Tony Mandarich, but… one and done. That’s prolly not common.

    DeSean Jackson burned Troy Hill last year. He ran more than just go routes and was Philly’s go-to receiver in that game. Nine targets, six receptions – 64 yards.

    He burned Troy Hill for 64 yards?

    Boy, that’s a nightmare game Hill will never forget.

    I think Tina Turner and Todd Rundgren are the most significant names on that list.

    I don’t know. Seems to me discussions like this usually come down to familiarity/favoritism. For me… not one of those artists would get consideration for my Desert Isle Discs, even if I had a 100 albums to take. And I own some of their albums, and like them well enough. Just not THAT much.

    So for me… it’s just like… Turner and Rundgren are the most accomplished. IMO.

    I thought he played better than Fowler (whom I was sorry to see go), and the Rams need pressure from the edge. Losing him would have been seriously detrimental, imo.

    I am bummed about Fox.

    I am not bummed about Ebukam or Johnson. I just didn’t see any way they could keep Johnson, and I couldn’t care less about Ebukam who was a JAG with the Rams. Pretty much same with Everett.

    I’m amazed they kept Floyd, and I’d like to keep Hill, but will accept his loss. I was just hoping that Fox would be under the radar. He was a Value player, imo, and it isn’t the end of the world, but I was hoping he would stay. Carolina got good value at $4/year.

    Just so happens I was a-listnin to sports chatter on my drive home today, and Peter King was saying that the release of Hudson raises questions because Hudson is good, and it is one of his top 5 mysteries.

    I like what he shows about Stafford.

    But then his take on Goff is the usual blinkered stuff. For example he talks about the deep ball being off for the Rams yet while talking about it what he actually shows is clips of protection collapsing.

    Last year the Rams were ranked 24th in deep ball completion percentage, and the Lions were ranked 18th. Yeah it’s different.

    I believe Goff can rebound.

    I believe Stafford is a 13 year savvy vet who has already rebounded from his 5th and 6th years in the league.

    Yep. I share that point of view.

    Looks like Stafford is a better QB right now, though, and I understand that the window of opportunity is right now. We are going to have an interesting season ahead of us, that’s for sure, and that makes watching more fun.

    Yeah, he said something similar during the playoffs that caught my attention, so this is a mindset for him.

    Jalen Ramsey is a top notch dude. Very glad the Rams got that guy.

    Yes, but a lot of those guys will pick Tony Mandarich.

    Meanwhile, the Rams trade for Ramsey.

    I think I’m optimistic about the year. The defense is going to be good, and the offense should be better.

    I have two main areas of concern (outside of health which is always a concern, but uncontrollable) and those are the turnover in the coaching staff. That makes me uneasy. And the other is the lack of a deep game.

    I haven’t seen an explanation as to why the Rams just didn’t have those explosive plays last year. We know Goff has made those throws in the past. What was different? I know they lost Cooks, but the Rams have some receivers, and they have some speed, and I don’t understand why the Rams didn’t stretch the field this last year.

    Both of those issues may be forgotten by October as ever having been a concern, but those are two things about the Rams that unsettle me.

    I’d like to see upgrades in personnel, but nothing really worries me there. They’ve got players.
