QuoteOhiorams That's what a Goff wiil do to you. IE the same thing happened to Goff. Either way I appreciate a good quip, but, no one reasonable is going to say that a head coach is fine if he flies off the handle with stressing out because his former qb had 4 bad games in 2020. Normally we would question the maturity and competence of someone like that. But you just made an inconseqby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 McVay doesn’t have time for dumb questions in the week before a game. He’s trying to win a Super Bowl. One way to win a superbowl is to not be so uptight about players asking good questions. What are the odds Whitworth would ask a dumb question. Stafford will be good for McV I think because a smart coach knows there are things a Matt Stafford is going to say or ask that youby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePA48 QuotemoklermanThis article doesn't seem particularly honest or objective. Maybe not. But it is factual. Stafford has made it to the postseason 3 times in 12 years. That's 25%. We can debate how much of it was Stafford not being able to elevate his team or how much his team failed him. But facts are facts. He did have weapons around him. He did have a lot of losing.

QuoteFlorida_Ram Goff may still turn out to be a great QB but I had much higher expectations for him in 2019 & 2020 and I finally waved the white flag. Many people didn't factor the OL into the discussions of Bulger in 2007 either. There were people theorizing that since he had signed a big contract in the off-season, he just didn't care anymore. Some of us pointed out that 2007 representeby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram Why does a lineman have to be a leader to be a good OL? Not to say that leadership is a negative ... It;s character. They don't have to be team leaders in the NFL and linemen generally aren't. The qualities the 3 I listed showed in college were special, which makes it credible to think that they are special players.

For me, Jackson lacks the intangibles that explain the success and/or good buzz associated with other Rams low round OL picks and UDFAs. If you read about Anchrum, Brewer, and Corbett they are all born leaders and others around them knew it. I don't pick up anything like that with Jackson. Though if I'm wrong I promise not to complain. ...by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotegeorge_allen maybe. maybe not. we will see this coming season. He's not. Over rated. And that's regardless what happens this season. The history is already there.

QuoteHornsUpRamily! A curious take on the Rams offensive design for 2021 blends the rough roster as it now stands with comments by HOFer Isaac Bruce. He loves the fit of Stafford in this offense. He also says that he thinks Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods are very similar between Isaac Bruce and Tory Holt. Might be something to keep an eye on. It's nice of him to say that but the current oby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

I just have this bad feeling their reluctance to bolstering the O line is gonna bite us in the butt.. and potentially get Stafford hurt.. and then we're really screwed.. This year ought to be fine.

QuoteHornsUpRamily!Who will be the undrafted player to make the LA Rams roster this year? It's usually more than one.

Quotedzrams QuoteNewMexicoRam His handling of Goff, IMO, is a separate issue from whether he thought Goff could get the Rams back to another SB. Agreed on this.

QuoteNewMexicoRam I think all QBs have some criticism of their game in front of their closest peers, like the QB room.

QuoteNewMexicoRam Which is exactly where I think McVay had pegged Goff at. McVay's rather harsh methods as the qb coach from 2019 on contributed to the problems. He himself said he was not communicating well. Insiders said he knew how to tear the qb down (in front of the team) and not how to build his confidence back up. Those are among the things a qb coach is supposed to do--communicate aby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
