Yes, I hear ya Zn. Like you, I'm hopeful that Stafford is taking a deep sigh of relief and thanking God each night to be on the Rams. I hope he's knowing that he won't have to carry the whole damn thing each Sunday. I hope he takes comfort and joy in seeing the best DT ever to play the game, (sorry Merlin), playing on his side and watching him cry havoc and letting loose the dogs of war. I hope he thinks, "I'm just going to hand the ball off to this RB and let him get those 3 yards." Again and again. I know I would.
Imagine being in Stafford's shoes all those years. Of seeing so much talent outright quit or leave or get traded away because of an incapable coach. Imagine feeling like you've got to carry this team forward, it's all on your shoulders. Imagine seeing so many sucky coaches year after year come and go. Imagine the frustration, the physical pain. Going home and looking in your family's eyes.
Well, I guess that 50billion a year he made let him cry all the way to the bank. But still.
It ain't right for me to feel this optimistic this early. Kinda like I'm living in the land of 43.
