Stafford needs to play better than he has most recently including the last 3rd of our SB season thru the disaster of 2022. We have thrown a lot of money at Matt prematurely and we need him not to just quit either. In comes Stetson and McVay and Snead are like hope he never has to start. They are like we do have a #1 pick next year right?by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
We had the most needs entering this years rebuild. Talk about throwing wet TP at the ceiling pretty much after our first 2 picks. These players could emerge that I don't see but I just remember that our opponents can easily see their crop emerge and some elite talents become household names. I think we did not necessarily plan to get much out this draft or season besides cheap labor. Well weby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
This team has made its bones buying talent not developing it for the most part. We treat draft picks as rentals and we may get a job done but how many of our picks are getting their 2nd contract and deserve it?by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Look this was a wasted pick when better QB talent and potential was on the board. I know I obsess over DTR but the fact that we went for a knuckler rather than a true developement target tells me we are not all that serious @ QB and McVay has not shown me that he is up to the challenge or task of developing long term raw talent. He defaults to name recognition in this one and is hiding behind theby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Yah not seeing anyone that will make an immediate impact outside of potentially Steve Avilla and Byron Young. Stetson Bennet was a huge missed opportunity. DTR to me is the only pick if looking for a QB. Young and can be groomed into a special QB. Stetson is older smaller, has less arm talent and I am not seeing a ceiling that you would hope given the potential of QBs on the board. Hey he is scby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Cooper Kupp at least as a Ram and that is pushing it. McVay and Snead are some definite snake oil salesmen because they can keep a straight face about the prospects of this team and the fact that Stars like AD, Stafford have a reason or motivation to play apart from the ridiculous money they will be paid to watch their stock drop and see themselves sunsetted in the media and in MVP discussion oby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Acres is not a bell cow or punishing back. Has nice speed only. Bijan's back field partner is a better fit for our needs.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess the future is 2024 to start anything now. Way to go Stan. If you don't build it point to the stadium. If we aren't winning point to the ring and trophy. This is boring stuff and troubling as well. We will probably see a practice facility by the time we are competitive againby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
No one knows what he wants and silly to speculate but he is worth more than his current tag. Pay the man!by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamstien Well, I would like to remind you that in 1999 they when from NFC West worst to NFC best and with Kurt Warner at QB won the Super Bowl.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
I am a little curious because of the talent we will have remaining there will be teams in contention looking to get a push and that is when we can also move a contract and gain some leverage in a trade.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks guysby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
It really depends. You pointed out what we need to do and unfortunately I have read and watched you and other great fans lay it out beautifully and the Rams somehow get distracted or cute and do not draft the player or players that they could have and so we can become legit competitive in 2 years but I think 2025 would be the year we can be in SB contention assuming we are still solid at QB and iby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
I am not going to project a flowery narrative until I see them start doing that. I don't think many fans believe it is s 2 year turn around but 2 yrs can give us a pretty good picture on where we are heading.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Lets get away from the past. Boy genius? I never subscribed to that and besides, he needs to grow up and just be the best he can when it is required. You do not have to be the smartest guy in the room. You do not have to feel like need to prove that narrative to the world. I think he talks too much and tries to do just that. You just need to know who the smart folks are and to surround yourselfby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Scoring quickly is one way to score a lot of points. We are not that explosive yet. Scoring with a balanced and dominant ball control is both defensive and offensive and that is our best option but I have yet to see that we can commit to that all season like 9ers and Seattle are willing to do. This year to me will be McVay re-inventing himself.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
You can ignore all those stats.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Ha little to do with why we got so little. We act out of desperation and we allow ourselves to be taken over and over again. Its a real joke to see these types of articles acting like Rams had no options.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
I really cannot reconcile from week to week like some seem to do so easily. -Rams are dismantled like a butterfly with wings and no legs. This team is barely recognizable, and I am not buying the confluence of narratives that are out there: -McSnead we trust despite them being caught unprepared for 2022 and 2023 -McVay is brilliant and an offensive genius but our Offense is up and down yearby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com

Striking distance. We need a top shelf running game and defense. The trenches need our in devided attentionby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
I am tired of hearing how we will score points. Teams that do that very well also lose to teams that keep their offense off the field. Show me how many points we can get when our defense is being dragged up and down field and unable to stop run and short passing gameby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
He just is not as much as many pointed out to a young Jared's faults in comparison to Matthew Staffords attributes which McVay coveted. Stafford is bested by Rogers unequivocally.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Things change so quickly. There is rare predictability when it comes to weather. I doubt I will be giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. Those days are gone. I just rather not. I will keep my eyes open.by BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Wouldn't that be a story? OL must become dominant RB must be durable and consistent and dynamic. The offense must be workmanlike not a high flying aerial attack. So we must evolve and improve significantly on offense to offset the defensive losses. WR must be nails like KC WRs. Pretending that we are good with AD and guys smacks in the face of our acquisition of the players we are leby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
Splash move to turn the corner, new HC, Young Vet Talent added then block buster all in and Bingo! SB champs! Now titanic post SB season Tear down begins. Shed Vets and paid talent ahead of schedule.

The combo of McVays brilliance and immaturity requires some grown up oversight and we don't have accountable grownups in the room because they keep fleecing themselves when others take advantage and know how to leverage our lack of resolve. For me a SB ring in 10 years or more is not worth a well thought out plan. We simply cave and now we may be looking at our SB as one of the most embarrassby BumRap - RamsFootballFans.com
