Always hard to rank because Stafford historically is better than Cousins. But will he statistically be better than the 12-5 Vikings that had no defense but a great offense... probably not. I mean the question is not just who has the best arm talent. Or who has accomplished more in their career. And you have to take into account a teams weapons. They will rank QB'a during the seasonby kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess if you're looking for excuses it was an outlier. There was a point where the team made it back to 3-3, had the bye week, and got a couple guys back after the bye. Still, one or two did not come back yet... And it was worse. And Stafford wasn't always under duress. I believe they scored the lowest points in the league. They were horrible. And it was more than just the O'liby kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com

The problem with this line of thinking is that this team is the passion of the posters on this board. Grown a$$ men coming on here to talk about a sports team. So to be like "hey don't complain" is like saying "hey, why don't we shut the board down when times get tough". I get it, the sky is falling. But when it's good, we talk about the good. When it's bad, weby kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com

What does ED stand for?by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess I'm not following. If the Rams will be 61 million under the cap in 2024, why does that "all but guarantee Stafford and Donald are gone after this year"? Does that figure include dumping them as well?by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
If you play a bend but don't break style defense you can probably get by with younger players. Less demanding of them individually. As I have mentioned, I am hoping for the 2022 Vikings. 12 wins by outscoring their opponents, and a horrendous defense. 1 conundrum, I don't see how we are getting a top QB in the draft in 2 years if we don't tank this upcoming year?by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm fine if we gamble on the defense with rookies and a couple mid-range FA's IF we go after offense. I would be fine being the 2022 Vikings and winning 12 games on offense and needing to build a better defense the following year. We are far from that, but that is my hope.by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm fine with shipping Ramsey. I mean, he was a leader and a good PR guy to add to the billboard with Donald and Kupp and Stafford. He had a lot of swagg and brought some needed toughness. But he was exposed. You keep everything in front of him for most of the game and then during a critical time, you go out and up and he bites and you're gone. So my only issue now is, how only a 3rd?

Are we just having an estate sale and biting the bullet even with Stafford amd Kupp on the team?by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, seemed odd just to "reward" players with these huge contracts. Donald and Kupp they acted like it freed up a few bucks, but that was not worth backing up the truck. And Stafford, I really thought he came to win a SB and not break the bank. Yes. Technically his contract is not the worst relative to what some guys are getting right now, but most of those guys are young and hby kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
Since the Rams are going full rebuild at this point, I have a proposal the Rams should look into: Trade Stafford and Donald to the Vikings for Kirk Cousins and a 1st round pick? What they get: they need defense, they could have gone way deeper last year but had no defense.. they get AD. On offense, they get what the Rams got, renting Stafford for a year or 2 to make a SB run with all thatby kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
Stafford and Marvin Jones Jr. Reunion would be interesting.by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
What if Stafford retires? He was guaranteed money. Does he just get all that? Hoping someone can show what would happen if he retired after this season? I believe I read we just owe him all the money.by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com

He looks ripped, but also looks smaller/lighter. He already was barely 280 on a good day. Maybe we move him to DE and revive his career for a couple more years to replace Floyd and get some cap space. And while we're at it, move Ramsey to safety so he can go ahead and ball hawk and prevent him from getting burned over the top so much.by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sounds good that he says Stafford processes his reads better than anyone... except then he goes and throws it to Kupp every time. Smh.by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
I find it odd that everyone has allowed themselves to believe that we were bad because of injuries. Yes there were CB and O'line injuries right from the start and Van Jefferson being out longer than anticipated did not help. But Noteboom played for 5 games. Kupp, Robinson, Higby, Akers, Henderson, Donald, Ramsey, Floyd, Stafford.... the whole gang was active. And we were 2-3by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com

Vermeil worked his team like Dawgs until the year they won the SB. But they were disciplined. McVay took over for Fisher who built a disciplined, nasty team. We are far removed from that nasty team and are left with the soft players we have today. A mix match offense line can not show up on game day and be gelling. This team needs a few pre-season games. Sure, Donald and Kupp canby kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
Purdy on a rookie contract. Sure, they will likely pay him to lock him up, but even if he has 9 games and a SB win, he should be willing to take something like $20 million per year, $70 million guaranteed, way less than top QB money. So they can afford to stay stacked. And if McCaffrey stays healthy... uggh. Only way I see us competing, in addition to shoring up some spots and sby kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com

Didn't we have that with Higbee and Everett and we thought McVay would create a 2 headed monster ala patriots offense with Gronk and Hernandez. But instead we barely used them both at the same time. Lots of jet sweeps, though.by kw13 - RamsFootballFans.com
