The way the Rams are playing only Perkins at QB tells me he is the starter this year. They’re not even giving Stafford a Looksee. Or Wolford.

They should be fine, though. 29 points is a lot. And the game isn’t even over.

I dunno. I mean…I dunno.

Looks like a basic mackerel that swam off of Fukushima.

I have peroneal tendonitis. Developed sometime late May/early June. There are times I feel fine, and times it flares up and I have to limp. As far as I can tell, the less I stress my ankle, the better I feel. Less ascending/descending is better. But a lot of standing/walking/pushing wheelbarrows uphill, the more likely I am to feel pain and weakness. It hasn’t gone away yet.

The pain can be brief. I can be having acute pain one moment, and be fine 2 minutes later. Rest helps.

I have no idea if my experience is relevant or typical, but on the basis of My Ankle, I’m going to guess that Stafford will throw some bad interceptions, like last year, and be great most of the time, like last year. So, yeah, it worries me, but I’m always worried.

Yeah there’s something to that isn’t there. Even though they lost a few in recent years too. Going back to 2020: Eli, Brees, Roethlisberger, Luck, Rivers. Along with some “perpetual #2s who started sometimes” like McCown, Fitzpatrick, and Smith.

It just feels like there are 10 or 12 guys who are good enough to elevate a team with flaws to win the Super Bowl.

And another half dozen who are as good as most of the Super Bowl winners. And another half dozen who are better than Trent Dilfer.

It just looks like there are a lot of really good teams right now. This is going to be a quality year of football.

“That is some disrespect. Matthew Stafford — tier 2?”

I don’t think there has ever been this many really good QBs in the league at the same time.

I liked Danny when he was with the Rams, and I was bummed that he left, but I think I would have been happy for him no matter where he went. Except the Patriots. F that guy.

THREAD. This is a thread to explain what copaganda is and why it's important.

Would love to have Steven Jackson now. Or healthy Todd Gurley.

We don’t know what we have in Akers yet, really, but I don’t think he is going to join the list of Rams greats at that position. Akers strikes me as a more powerful, less elusive Wendell Tyler. I do look forward to watching him this coming year, though. If he can be a good blocker as well as do the other things he does, he will be good enough. I just…man. Steven Jackson.

His signing came at an odd time, but A’Shawn Robinson was one of the best players in the second half and playoffs, recording 22 tackles and a sack in LA’s postseason run. He can be elite.

[/spoiler]You know, I look at this at it makes me wonder. How much of this is the AD effect?

I will be interested to see how SJD does for the Chargers this year.

I don’t know Kupp’s 40 time, but I would guess he isn’t particularly fast in a straight line. He doesn’t just blow the top off. He has got behind everyone sometimes, but that isn’t where he excels. Seems to me that he is particularly fast in messy fields. He spins or ducks or darts by guys for an extra 5 – 10 YAC often, when he has no real business doing it. When he is well-contained. He’s just really, really elusive. And strong. He churns yards, too.

People can badly evaluate CB play, especially in games where a WR makes a long play on a CB.

Tom Brady had 57 dropbacks against the Rams in the playoffs. Mike Evans “burned” Jalen Ramsey on 1 play. That’s only 1.75% of the time, but people forget the other 98.25% because of it
