Stafford is playing at a high level and his woes are from an underwhelming OL that doesn't keep defenders from out of Stafford's face. Stafford is LIGHTS out as a passer still!!!! See his start to the season when he wasn't hurt - from lack of an OL. IF a QB is the whole enchilada then protecting him is worth everything. Who thinks that if, given enough time, there is a throw that Stafford caby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
what does that say about the other NFL defenses that he has faced? Avg is as avg does...what Puka has done so far has NOT been avg even if his physical traits are avg. How many Tarzans have played like Janes over the years??? Slow Steve Largent is in the HoF. iirc Anyway, everyone has a right to their own opinion.........................................................................eveby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
The blue and yellow are so washed out...it's got no strength to it. imo Our current unis look like candy. ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
VJ has never been strong to the ball - especially deep balls - and plays with ZERO urgency from as long as I can remember since we drafted him. I bet he's cut/traded by the end of the season as there are other guys who play with more passion than VJ. VJ has all the talent but he lacks the fire in the belly. imoby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay just forgot the Rams didn't own their 1st rounder last year.... we'll get them this year tho! ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I could not believe the defense played as well as they did. we are small up front but we hustled like heck to make up for it and all our DBs were very aggressive. Stafford is the best as I have EVER seen him....physically since maybe his rookie year. The dude was making throws that were jaw dropping - from ALL platforms....and doing it effortlessly. We won cuz of Stafford. period. If Mby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
these are the doldrums anyway....that last 6wk gap before TC starts in Irvine is ALWAYS slow. This board ain't dead yet! ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
THAT is how a coach leads men....and McVay has many of them that think, work, and inspire this way. That builds character in the middle of a sh*t-storm so that when they get healthy again they are ready to settle in / focus and push thru a new season the RIGHT WAY. Just like SB year when we hac that gawd-awful Nov where we lost all our games and then responded by winning out. This is good leadby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

unless they want him hurt this year. Let Perkins run from that OL all game and show what he's got...along with Wolford. Do not put Stafford behind this OL...it would be criminal.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
unless, of course, McVay, AD, Stafford, Ramsey are all retiring in 1-2yrs. Otherwise, I' getting draft capital to give McVay a chance to restock this roster with some young studs before he really DOES retire. Who knows, McVay may have already retired in his had and just doesn't know it yet. I tend to lean towards this way of thinking. imo for McVay to be talking of retiring after coachingby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

during the draft when we were on the clock. I just hate the TuTu pick...no matter if he becomes All-Pro. Well, if TuTu becomes an AP at WR I'd be happy with that. ;)by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Taking away the deep play and forcing/daring us to more plays and long drives. PATIENCE is the key!! That's why I was stoked when Stafford looked downfield and takes the check down to the RBs or short WR/TE option. We just need tyo keep expoecting longer drives and taking a bit less risks to show we can execute and take what the defense gives us. The running game is CENTRAL to our offenby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
and hope he is traded. VJ is criminally lackadaisical on attacking deep balls - whether they are underthrown or not. VJ is superfluous. imo Stafford LOVES WRs that attack the ball and make plays on jump balls. ARob & McClutch....do that.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I absolutely HATE the passive way VanJefferson goes for a ball on a deep throw. VJ does NOT attack the ball and high point it though he has great physical skills LanceMcCLUTCH does not have. I LOVE how aggressive Lance is going after the ball and would want WRs like that every time. Trade VanJeff cuz he's not built with the right stuff. imoby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
that ball just keeps goin up and up in an unnatural way. not real...but fun to watch though!by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Signing A-Rob will help those deep throws be completed at a better %. imo Also, Stafford was injured. imoby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
however, ARob is - by the numbers - one of the best contested/jump-ball catchers in the NFL...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. IMOby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Just a hair over Warner (1b). imo So, of the Top 5 WRs with the best Regular Season stats in NFL history....Stafford was the only QB - of ALL TIME - that threw to 2/5ths of them(Kupp & Calvin Johnson). Also, I want to make a comment on Stafford's INT rate last year. I think it will change dramatically this season. Stafford loves to give his WRs a chance for making a great play on deby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Wagner makes that weakness a true strength(along with Earnest). Both guys also blitz very well...so pass rush may be strong but different from what we have envisioned(ie coming off the EDGE). Wagner looks to have 2-3yrs left in his body as he led the team in tackles last year at his age. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
we're building an interesting group of young DBs.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
He really fixes our biggest deficiency in the run defense. imo He also allows AD to go hog wild rushing the QB cuz BWagz is just nails when filling that cutback lane that has plagued our defense for years...at least, since LondonFletcher.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
The coaches McVay has collected and continues to collect annually are great teachers and THAT makes players develop...and helps keep costs down and allow their FO to keep this method o trading draft picks and developing lower round talent. Cuz without that teaching this strategy will not work more than a few years.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Our ILB spot has been a weakness for our defense since Littleton...but we've not had a MLB talent like Wagz since LondonFletcher. Our defense has been gashed from the run and short middle passes for YEARS. Having Wagner will be huge in stopping the inside run while being very good against the pass. No more will we see RBs slashing up the middle or RBs catching flair routes against our heavy foby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
and both have good potential at WR due to size and hands & blocking ability. I think Harris will learn from ARob in a big way as they play much the same style of game...though Harris is light years behind. Harris and Skow have/had really good hands in most of their college tapes and dome PS...I just think Skow wasn't ready fro prime time yet...but could get there especially with this room oby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
