Love how you dismiss Whitworth (after blathering about 21' & 22' olines were the same),
and that somehow the 1 game your 22' o-line was "intact" is in no way indicative of how they would have performed over 17 games
Then dump the "hater" comment. Disagreeing is one thing, disparaging another lifetime fan can only be described as pathetic.
It looks like you're gonna get a chance to see (short of Edwards) the 21/22 oline?! (as you put it) in action, based on our off-season so far.
We'll see where you're at when they get rag rolled next season - but you won't catch this fan disparaging you or anyone else as a "hater" for having an opposing opinion. You might know a little about football, but it appears maturity may be an issue for you.
Hey, whatever. Say what you want about me, it's fine.
But when someone craps on a coach for 2 years, that is not reason. It's hate
in my opinion. It's pathetic, cult-like really.
But that is not you, but that is why I use
hate for them. A coach lives in their head rent-free and they cannot help
themselves to rip him with falsehoods when the truth is available, then
it's hate.
"Hate on" is just slang, but if you take offense, that is your right.
And "hate on" is common verbiage, being "mad at football" is another
one. You see people criticize someone and they say "Why the hate"
the counter being "show the man some love".
By all means, if you are offended, be offended. It's your right.
And I 100% stand by my comments on the line. And everything else, too.
But you take, is your right, but if you say a line THAT banged up that
protected poor enough to go 5-12 would have gone 5-12
had the starters been reasonably injured, even more than normal, not
historic then my right is to challenge that.
You are saying the Rams starters, who won the Super Bowl the
year before, sans one guy, are NO BETTER than guys off the street.
Even if you say Whitworth is worth a win, two wins, even three wins
which is a super reach . . .
So, if you said something defensible, like with a healthy line they would have
not been as good with Whitworth gone, so I think they would have
been 9-8 or 10-7" Crediting Whit's loss for 2-3 losses that
is one thing.
But you said they would have been 5-12.
That's not a fair analysis
As far as your doom and gloom, dire, worse-case scenario about the
line in 2023.
You don't know what will happen. You talk about good guys,
guys on your team getting rag-dolled all next year.
You can simply join the people who say bad things about their
own team, dump on them when you don't even know who will be
on the roster.
You can be part of the Rams "fans" who say Rams and not only suck
but get rag dolled and the defense toilet paper and Snead is a moron and
that not only 2023 is going to be bad but 2024 and beyond because
we have all the crappy people running the team and mostly crappy
players on the team.
You do that. I won't.
You may hate me, hate my style, that's okay. Fine.
But you won't see me going overboard with doom and gloom.
I prefer to wait and see the bad things and not childishly predict them.
That is my opinion as to what a lifelong Rams fan would do.
