Re: Depends on what you mean by "replace." - 19 days ago
Can Whittington play in the same spot? Yes. Is Whittington another Triple Crown receiver? Let's not be unrealistic- yet. Could Whittington pulverize a DB coming up to tackle him of an end-around (excuse me - that's the old term for what we dinosaurs used to call a jet sweep)? It'd be fun to watch. As Brian Piccolo told Gayle Sayers, Whittington may not get you over twenty all-at-once, butby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Limmer's overall PFF rating for 2024 season is 57.6, good for 42nd best out of 64. - 20 days ago
Stats are revealing but don't tell the whole story. Limmer was an injury sub earlier than intended. He made unprepared rookie mistakes, other teams exploited the weakness, he rerlied on strength and grit which didn't fully compenste for experience, trechery, and skill. Limmer (end of season) was a different player than Limmer (when thrown in.) I'm curiously interested in Limmer's firstby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Gotta see Stafford's new deal - 21 days ago
I'm still back to: Dump 'Boom. That frees up how many bucks, and how applied to Stafford's contract? Personally I feel badly for 'Boom, he's been a good teammate, done everything ased of him, tries hard in every way, but just can't stay available. Then you have the in-and-out RG who's up to be traded. Cap relief? Who else? My unsubstantiated hunch is that paying Stafford won't be suby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Just like in the comic books I read as a kid. :innocent The Brady's snow job melted under the light of truth, justice, freedom, and all that is right and good. :peace The Evil Empire with fans from the garbage cans of hell, Oakland Raiders, now metastatised to the bright lights and wholesale depravity in Sin City, and their sinister front man who looks more like The Joker every day, lost tby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Stuter strikes again - 21 days ago
If you read this (I tried, and couldn't get far) please be advised going in that Stuter is slanting, throwing shade and materials of more substance at Stafford, twisting the known narrative to project his own prejudices, etc. ad nauseum. He lost me when he said that NFL players shouldn't be concerned about how much money they make. WHAT??? :X :( 8-) Wrong, Bret. That's something they're allby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Brady seems more like an islander - 22 days ago
Brady seems more the type to be on an island somewhere - Mediterranean, Pacific, Carribean, Epstein, someplace like that. Please, Matthew - no, no. no! Don't do it!by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Kelly > Giselle - 22 days ago
Stafford better keep a sharp eye on Brady - and a protective eye on his wife. Tom Brady has no morals when it comes to family - his or anybody else's. Giselle said in one inteview, toward the middle of it, that the subtext beneath her public insistence that Tom keep his word that he'd retire from football and spend more trime with his family was his "serial infidelaties."

Re: NFL Announces 2025 Salary Cap will be $279.2 Million, a New Record High/Stu Jackson - 22 days ago
So... pay Stafford $50 mil off the top, pay the rest of the team what's left. What's so hard about that? :confused :confused :confusedby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: We know what Brady is... - 22 days ago
He's a lying, conniving, cheating, underhanded, self-as-god, narcissistic, amoral POS who is handsome, a womanizer whose marriage and family mean less than chasing strange stuff but who has the ability to stare down a defense and throw a tight spiral. In any arena other than a football stadium his life doesn't amount to much. He's not the sort of human being I'd want around my daughtrer or her siby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Brady's role reminds me of an old movie - 22 days ago
What we know is that even with Brady throwing his influence around, a team without the right pieces like the Raiders can't win the Super Bowl next year with Stafford and the Rams can't win the Super Bowl without him. :( Darth Vader coaxes Luke Skywalker to join the Dark Side. :X Stafford going anywhere will mark the end of an era.

Re: My take - and I'm with you - 22 days ago
Let's flip the script: If Stafford were with any other team right now, stuck in a negotiation where he was saying "I want what is set as market value" and the club is looking for a trade rather than ponying up, we'd want the Rams to be in contention.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Very reasonable to be nervous... and disheartened - 22 days ago
Let's remember clearly: His one year here was a disaster for Bobby Wagner. He wanted out. The Rams let him go. Stafford doesn't want out - he just wants more money. What does the market pay? Even though it may not sit well with us as fans, that's what he wants. The world is crazy.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re:The really, really bad news for me... - 22 days ago
... is that Brady owns a place in Montana. Probably in that snoot-in-the-big-sky resort-vacation home development for the uber-rich spinoff form the Yellowstone series bearing the same name east of here that contains a big swath of public land within its borders to which the proletarian public is virtually blocked from access. Public land now land-bound from the public that owns it is now a pby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: If the Rams are SO BAD - 23 days ago
If the Rams are so bad in every category except head coach, why do players from other teams want to come here? Who would sign up for mistreatment just 'cuz coach is a nice guy? Doesn't make sense.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Rams get ripped again in players scorecard - 23 days ago
Does the NFLPA pull and credible weight with anyone except their own leadership in matters that are none of their business? Maybe we should ask Andrew Whitworth, Aaron Donald, Havs and a few others who are reasonably intelligent and broad-minded how they and their families have been treated, etc. by the Rams organization.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re:Yeah, but... - 23 days ago
Look at QB pay when Brady left the game, and where it is now. Brady would have been a top-dollar QB had he played the past few years. The whole thing - pay for NFL players on such a lopsided scale - is entirely out of hand. What makes any NFL QB worth what they are getting paid? Where is the real value? To the first person to give me a morally just and satisfactory answer to that questioby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Martz sabotaging Warner. - 23 days ago
Warner had a horribly broken pinkie on his throwing hand that extended away from the hand at nearly a 90. Trainer thought it was dislocated, tried to pop it back in, did further damage. Backups also injured but Martz chose to make Warner play - which the warrior did. That's the beginning of one story. Kurt's wife, a nurse and Marine, took a look after the game, noted the damage, and calledby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Richie Incognito, Lawrence Phillips - 24 days ago
Rank 'em 1 - 2 or 2 - 1. Phillips = psychopath, Incognito = sociopath. Incognito =worst teammate, Phillips = worst human being. Either would have been kept under wraps longer, extended their careers more effectively in the Patriots organization. Turley? Didn't like him as a Saint, but look at the system he was playing in.

Re: Richie Incognito, Lawrence Phillips - 24 days ago
Rank 'em 1 - 2 or 2 - 1. Turley? Didn't like him as a Saint, but look at the system he was playing in. As a Ram he had the guts to expose Martz's downright betrayal and attempts to destroy Warner.

Re: The antecedent to all this - 27 days ago
Remember when Kelly said, "I'm up for an adventure!" ? That's what kicked the dialogue forward. That's how negotiation works. Prior to that, Rams wantedto keep Stafford but wanted to lowball him with "You really want to keep your family here" leverage. Kelly kicked that leg out from under the three-legged stool. "We've got several interested trade partners... &by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Tom Pelissero: Rams have given Stafford permission to negotiate with other teams - 28 days ago
Advantage Rams: They're forcing him to set his own market value, bring back what will likely be a lower offer for them to match. They're projecting that no other club will overpay for Stafford, i.e.give him what he is asking/wants from the Rams, and with a lesser number in hand they can present a lower offer without appearing to play hardball. Trick is, if Stafford wants to play for a compby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Shades of Drew Brees - 30 days ago
I remember when Brees wanted to get paid what he was worth for at least one year before he went out - the Saints made it happen by trading Jimmy Graham. The Saints were/are a dirtbag organization with Payton and Williams dealing the dirt, and they had problems that went beyond the Brees contract conundrum. But even so, and with all that's been said - Rams are going nowhere next year withoby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Careful dissing Kelly - 4 weeks ago
She's a sassy, high-principled southern woman who is loyal to her husband - not a shut-up-and-stay-home yeswife.:rolleyes I like her better the way she is, frankly.

Re: Yoko Stafford? - 4 weeks ago
Joe, I seldom disagree with you but that's not nice, and hardly fair. Must admit - I didn't listen to the podcast specifically because of the Yoko-drop, and that may be hardly fair of me. If t you'll forgive me I'd like to take the discussion around Kelly further. Let's start with Kelly first. Kelly has been through a lot. I won't catalogue what-all or where it might have left her.

Re: Concerns giving Kyren Williams an extension: - 5 weeks ago
Ball security can be taught. Kyren is motivated and can learn. It's been two years. Tom Coughlin fixed Tiki Barber in one camp. Vince Lombardi fixed the great Paul Hornung in one camp. That issue aside, where do we get a separate but equal Kyren at an affordable price? My take is to keep him, pay him open market value with outs and accelerators built-in, with low guaranteed money and plby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
