Re: This board sure spends a lot of time...it's crazy

sometimes I think people read too much into stuff and take stuff personally that is not even directed at them

for example, some people have left the Rams based on their handling of the Goff trade. He's right in this thread and has vocalized it. I have never had any exchanges with you so I certainly was not directing my comments at you or questioning your Ram fandom

I say in this thread and have said it before when Goff has everything good around him he can be awesome. Great line, great run, a great play-caller, and great receivers he's good. Just like in 2017 and 2018 with the Rams

On the other hand, I just don't believe he's on Stafford's level... and that bothers some Ram fans when I say that. For the life of me, I will never understand why

Saguaro is my friend, I respect him and he has explained where he is and I get it. I just don't agree

And that's ok

My comments in this thread re being Ram fans were directed to two individuals... none of what I said was directed at anyone else on this subject other than those two

Look we won with the girl we chose to dance with in Staffard. Jared is no slouch and has his own virtues an even better QB today than he was 3 years ago. Sean loves Matt and he prefers a store bought cake than home made so who can complain with the results. The fact is we could have busted on that Superbowll with Matts 2 INTs but Kupp and Donald and Ernest Jones were critical in saving the game for us. Many of the same fans would still be trashing Jared.

I am happy for Jared and I am now hoping we have a plan to transition from Matt when the time comes and not having to cross our fingers and spend a lot of capital threading together a string of rentals.

Great post, it echoes my thoughts exactly (which is why I also agree that the trade was a win/win). However, with some on the board if you point out that Jared is "no slouch" you are not a RAMS fan. Usually when I'm pointing this out people miss the underlying (implied) question is not about QB's, but about the coach (if we can be critical of players we can certainly ask questions about the coach). See, my question is this...does McVay require a "Stafford QB" in order to win a SB? And on a larger scale...I think I have seen that there needs to be a certain chemistry between coach and QB in order to win and certain combinations just don't work very well. I'm also wonder what will happen when Stafford can't play at a high level anymore and I hope that question does not need to be answered in the near future.

I would add that I think this years team is better than the SB team so unlike last year when the RAMS exceeded my expectations this year my expectations are pretty high.
