For me the term "BEST" means he was a stalwart at EVERY facet of playing the position, an absolute STUD, the focal point of the offense, performances worthy of an MVP nod. I realize you are talking about the last five games and him playing behind a patchwork OL. However, were his performances truly the best, cumulative or individual, and worthy of the term the "best in the league&by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
Is he the BEST as in the BEST in the league the last five games? Or best as far as rushing yards, pass pro and rushing YAC?by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 I think they’re gonna surprise a few teams, tbh. Here’s my thinking… QB. Is there a better NFC QB than a healthy Stafford? Hurts, maybe? But Stafford proved he was mister ‘steal-your-soul’ in ‘21 when protected. Surely a top 7-10 QB, don’t you think? Probably better, imo. RB. Akers seemed to step up to next level in last 5 games and that was behind a patchwork OL. He was bestby GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBigGame81 Outside the top 3 (Stafford, Kupp, Donald). We're left with a bunch of unproven, young players. 14 draft picks support my take. Anybody who disagrees, is just wishful thinking. All hand selected by McSnead. Just look at all the A+ grades this draft got by the pundits. They will be hungry.by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 I’ve seen fan projections all over the board from 3 to11 wins and everywhere in between. Let’s try to set aside our recency bias after all those catastrophic injuries of ‘22, where even then they managed 5 wins. And yeah, no question that the losses of some quality vets is gonna hurt. But I’d like to approach this on a comparison of position groups year-to-year basis. QB.by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com

I believe the consensus here is we are going to out score our opponents as McVay is about to unleash his offensive genius again.by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- QuoteLeoram I understand he was a very good value because he was drafted low, but again...my central question NOBODY seems to have is a clip demonstrating these "elite qualities." I'm confident he has some because he was selected. I just want to SEE an example of it, as opposed to being told about it. i think most of the videos posted have shown that...really don'tby GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
So as of right now, we have Stafford, Rypien, Bennett, Cookus, and Winn as QBs?by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com

Great question. Some will mention the comment that he's here for the "long haul". Comments like this in today's coaching ranks, especially in the NFL and NCAA, hold little value.by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
Question.... What should we expect to happen in 2024? Who will be the top FAs possibly available after the 2023 season you can see us going after? Who are the top college players to target in the 2024 draft? Remember, the other 31 teams will not be stagnant or placed in a vacuum to allow us to run the table on FAs and dominate the draft. We won't be in a vacuum either. I'm thinkingby GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com

As long as the OL doesn't experience the massive injury bug we will be fine. Stafford is healthy, Akers led the league in rushing the last several games, Kupp will be back and last but most importantly, McVay is still the HC. WC with a 10-7 record is my prediction.by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay and his staff are on it guys. Best coach in the league and future HOFer. Hide and watch: POs in 2023by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
Even with the all time worst injury record in NFL history, we still found a way to win five games. In your opinion, what enabled the injury riddled team of 2022 to come out on top in those games?by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
Both these guys were part of the problem on the OL. Got their chance and were a disaster. They were part of the root of the 5-12 season. Had they been able to play to NFL standards we may have been in the NFC championship.by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamstien Let's just call it like it is the Rams sucked last season and will this coming season too. Which has led to this mass exodus of players including their top special team performing Matt Gay. It is my opinion that all their coaches and players were not prepared when the season began. The Rams strength and condition coach and his assistants need to be replaced while McVay and Morris boby GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
of course he is....he only played about half the season. The man has had time off. Let's face it...Stafford is old. And not only old but been beat up over his tenure. I hope McSnead has a plan for who is going to be behind center in the very near future, maybe as soon as next year.by GroundPounder - RamsFootballFans.com
