however, ARob is - by the numbers - one of the best contested/jump-ball catchers in the NFL...

yes, i do recall reading that and it's one of the things that bowled me over about this signing

and at 6'3" is quite tall and has sneaky speed. All I'm saying is pay attention to the success of the deep throws now - the contested ones where Stafford just throws it up for grabs....cuz that's now a strategy and not an accident when you have the WR with the best hands going up for it.

yep. the rams website has him listed at 6'2" which is certainly not small for a wr, but yes, i'm sure the rams (and as i've posted before, stafford may well have put a bug in the rams fo ear having seen plenty of arob in the nfc north) were attracted to arob because he plays bully ball and stafford likes to toss it up to the bullies.

IMO - It's gonna be the Kupp and ARob show unless they get hurt. Let's just see how it plays out!!

most likely. i would throw in a healthy higbee into that mix. we've all seen what he can do. but what i really wish i could say is one of our rb's will be part of the big show. just don't know what to expect of them right now and the run game is so important.

and while i have to continue to respectfully disagree that arob = megatron (yet, maybe someday), i do strongly agree with you that arob will provide that "toss up a 50-50 ball to our guy that comes down with it more than 80% of the time" element that stafford seems to be attracted to (not so sure mcvay likes that though, but i do). and like you, i'm very much looking forward to watching that. i can't remember the last time we had that.

peace.
