    The 9ers mishandled this from the beginning, but restructuring his contract was making the best of a bad situation, imo. They tried every tactic in the book to try to trade him, and there just wasn’t a market for him. It may be easier to trade him now that his contract is rewritten, but he has now missed all of the preseason (including the 9ers’ preseason in which he not only did not practice, he did not even get this year’s playbook from the team). One radio blabber ventured to guess that G restructured his contract because the 9ers would have cut him otherwise which would have hit his reputation and future value. They will lose him after this season, but they probably figure having him as a backup is worth more to them than whatever little draft capital they could get for him at this point. Maybe someone loses their starter, and trades for him later, but that becomes less likely by the day. He is probably headed towards a phase in his career where his is the best backup QB in the league for 2-3 years.

    Lance McCutcheon should change Rams’ long-term plans at WR and maybe even any thought of signing OBJ.

    Uh…

    of the 8 possible WRs to possibly make the 53 roster (according to Rodrigue), there are 6 of them I would not hesitate to cut to make a spot for OBJ.

    The Los Angeles Rams are going to handle discipline for Aaron Donald and other players involved in Thursday’s brawl with the Cincinnati Bengals internally.

    A Rams spokesperson issued a statement about the situation to ESPN’s Sarah Barshop: “The incident will be addressed internally, and any discipline will remain in-house.”

    According to Barshop and Ben Baby, the Rams and Bengals ended their joint practice early when a “melee broke out during a team drill featuring the Bengals’ first-team offense and the Rams’ first-team defense.”

    I think the Rams should suspend Donald for the final preseason game against Cincinnati.

    I wonder how the Rams would have done if they had had Stafford in Super Bowl 53 ? Rams were 13-3 Pats were 11-5 Goff was 19 for 38 for 198 yards. Sacked 4 times. 1 INT. Rams only had 62 yards rushing. (Have the Rams ‘ever’ had a good rushing game in a super bowl?) Rams had 9 penalties, Pats had 3. Pats had 407 total yards, Rams had 260.

    Dunno. I will always believe they would have won if they had Kupp, though.

    I don’t know why I bother reading this board when people make claims like, Stafford is so good, he would perform well under fire from archers.

    You guys know nothing about football.

    The Spartans were annihilated, btw. The Persians sent pressure around the flank and collapsed the pocket from behind.

    It is a bummer about Bruss and Hardy. Those were the two most promising rookies. Hardy’s season may not be over, but he’s not going to get more than a few plays on the field this year, unless there is depletion in the LB department.

    I think everybody is overlooking the fact that the Dallas Cowboys have not made it to the NFC Championship game since they won the Super Bowl in 1995.

    Well, by the time I actually started watching games weekly, Gabriel was on the back nine, and as a kid new to football, I don’t trust my opinion of him. I estimated him highly, but I have no idea if he merited that.

    I think I generally agree with your rankings. Of the Tier 3 guys, I would probably take Bulger first, and Goff last, but…yeah…same tier. I’m not sure there is a lot of space between Tier 2 and Tier 3, actually. Looking at those guys, the ones I’m least certain of are Hadl and Miller, and that’s because they were with the Rams a short time, and towards the end of their careers, but they both played better than anybody in the Tier 4 list, for sure.

    I’m not finished with Stafford, but…yeah.

    I don’t see Skowronek or Tutu as locks. I guess Powell is, and you can call him a WR if you want, but his job is to catch the ball and not trip over his own feet. He’s replaceable, and he’s only on the Rams because neither Tutu nor Skowronek could clear that bar.

     

    Whatever. I’m going only on what I see in games, not in practice, and not on film. But if McCutcheon can return kicks…he’s already shown more as a receiver than any of those three guys, albeit just one game, a game in which the Chargers secondary looked like the Keystone Cops.

    You control what you can control. If you block him he can’t respond to you so as far as the rest of twitter is concerned, there’s nothing to see from him that would involve you. Don’t overthink it. Just block people that pester you. Block and done. Not blocking them gets taken as an invitation to pester you more. I don’t even remember who it is I have blocked. I just blocked them, and voila, no more problems.

    Okay. I’ve never blocked anyone because it’s always been somebody who is just being rude, and it’s been confined to tweets that fewer than 100 people even saw.

    This guy was going for the jugular in a personal way in a tweet that drew 80,000 viewers. He was trying intimidate me into blocking him. That was his goal. He even said so.

    But it was in the sunset of the tweet’s life, and when I quit responding, he gave up.

    But a block just means he can’t see my tweets, right? It doesn’t delete his tweets, or prevent other people from seeing them.

    I don’t know.  I’m still unclear on all the twitter functions.

    Anyway, after a bit, I realized his original target was someone else, and then he turned on me when she blocked him, and nobody else was involved. So it was just the two of us off in a remote corner of the internet, and he had no purpose other than to try to agitate me, so I just let it die on the vine.

    Weird experience, though. The whole 4K “Likes” and all the Retweets was weird, too. It just destroys Notifications like a dump truck unloading pea gravel in your account. It drowned out everything, and I lost track of a couple of those bite-size interactions which is what I’m used to. Those interactions were hopelessly lost.

    I now know why big accounts never respond to comments on their tweets. It’s practically impossible.

    Enh. Never mind.

    The guy is just a troll. The acct has 15 followers, and follows 3 accts. I’m gonna guess those 15 followers are his other troll accounts.

    It was just momentarily disconcerting to have a guy screenshotting pretty old tweets and trying to frame me negatively. You know…like…why?

    But when I recognized it was just a troll, it all became clear.

    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.
