I'm wondering if he was really as good as the Rams' FO thought he was. I'm apprehensive about him being slotted as the season's starter as I would rather have someone else start who is almost as good but has more NFL exp. and is more familiar with our Offense. I really like K. Williams but I think he's too small to take the pounding and he'll get injured like Hendo gets injured. I'm also hby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Your list of QBs who won the SB brought a nice smile to my face. I once saw Brad Johnson play live in Detroit. Holy moly he was bad! He threw 19 interceptions that day! (that's hyperbole :-) Everytime I think about that guy winning a SB it makes me laugh and realize that the gods of football like to play tricks upon men. I think all of us here agree that Stafford was, and still is a greby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
The guys who did the ranking are not just stupid journalists and I think they deserve some benefit of the doubt for starters. I'm not sure if he's better than Burrows because I know so little about Joe and the year he had. So maybe Stafford could be #5. On the other hand, who was #7? Stafford was great in the playoffs but during the season he made some bad plays and throws and fumbles. Hby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
So, let's say we have Stafford or a QB about as good as Stafford on our team. Now we have to pick between: AD Kupp Great OLineman Other Great D. player Other Great Offensive threat Who do you pick? Do you take Kupp over AD? Me, I still pick AD over Kupp or any other choice.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
What you said makes a lot of sense now. I think there's a difference between being the "best" and being the most valuable. I think AD is the "best" player in the league but I'd rate him between 6 to 16 being the most valuable. All things being equal more or less a top QB is always going to be more valuable than a top D player. That's what the money says too. I reallyby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
So RamBro, are you saying that you don't think Donald is worth it anymore, especially at the new price given the wear and tear? I've never been higher on Donald. My esteem for him is at a peak and I would be very worried had he left the Rams for a different team. He definitely is a generational player who should have a few great seasons left.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
A nice and enjoyable little video about Stafford's journey experience with the Rams.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
"So, if I'm reading this correctly then...if you were the GM of a new team, AD would be your 6th choice (and top defender) to lead it. Is this considering current mileage and other very good defenders out there (i.e. TJ Watt or Nick Bosa)? I get that that neither Bosa or Watt spend much time inside, but they are younger." We were given a list of the top 10 paid NFL players and AD wasby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Per your list, these are my choices: 1) Aaron Rodgers 2) Patrick Mahomes 3) Josh Allen (4) 6) Russell Wilson (5) 7) Kirk Cousins (6) 10) Aaron Donald I'd rate the value of an average QB just below the value AD brings to a team. Or course AD is the top Defensive player in the league. I don't think there is a close 2nd.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, thank you for pointing that out NM. We have some of the best coaches and GMs in the NFL playing for our team and it portends good things ahead for us. I'm still enjoying our SB win. But I got to say I've never enjoyed having to come from behind due to the stress. I like blowout wins like we did AZ.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm a hardcore Stafford fan but I don't think his overall performance last year puts him in the top 10. Like another poster said his INTs hurt him, and didn't he have a couple of bad fumbles? If his shoulder is healthy there is no reason why he can't be the best QB in the league this year.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I have the same memory. Shaw was such a negative person for the Rams and he tainted everything. I think in this case both sides share some of the fault. We lost some good peeps due to Shaw's leadership. The real owner was just a figurehead, like the Ford's are for the Lions. It's just a toy to them.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Three diff. sites show Rose as weighing 212 or 211, not 220. Maybe he's put on some fat since he got cut?by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, Troy missed too many tackles and often tackled poorly or was carried for another 5 yards. I think he's a good guy but lacked the skills to handle that position. If anything I'd put him a level below an average MLB.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams averaged the lowest ever YPC in the SB and still won. If this were truly a problem it would have bitten us beforehand. I think McVay has this under control. It's a new approach and it takes some gettin used to. A bunch of teams ran for more yards than the Rams, eg. the Bears were #2 in total rushing yards, behind the 49ers, but most of the teams with better and more rushing didn'by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

But I don't think that our RB core is impressive like many other teams. Akers and Hendo and Michel made a good and productive team of RBs. I still wish we had Malcolm Brown. For some reason McSnead doesn't esteem the RB position, but for some reason it hasn't hurt us! The old school mindset was to have a power RB able to grind out the yards. McSnead doesn't play by that rule and it has serby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

As Roman noted you can pick diff. numbers and make them say what you want. Similarly you could choose bad statistical parameters or miss good ones and come up with crap / laughable results, like this one. Like any journalistic publication PFF is going to publish good and bad stuff and hopefully the good far outweighs the bad.

I liked everything you wrote 43. I don't know much about the hiring of McVay and as Den said the credit should go to Demhof, but even still Snead has done quite well. I don't know if I'd say that Stafford was the SB MVP but surely over the year Stafford could be considered the Rams' MVP. Without him the Rams don't win the SB or go far into the playoffs. Yeah, the price for Stafford looksby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
