This should be Stafford’s last year, I’m good

Do you realize Rams may have to expend 1st round pick on an offensive tackle? How many 1st round picks do we have?

Two

They could go QB and OT in first round

let's just cross our fingers and hope ATL continues to lose. Rams need help at QB, OL and CB's....oh and LB

Yep, and I have no problem using a first round pick on the next Jackie Slater/Orlando Pace (not that those guys grow on trees, but we sure can use a 1st to nab a OL is my point).

Hav's is aging. Avila is made of glass. Limmer, well thats obvious. I think it's pretty apparent we have some serious work to do this next offseason.

Ill also say this... I just wonder why McSnead just dont seem to ever respect the OL spot.

Pop quiz... since McVay took over in 2017. How many OL players have we drafted in the FIRST or SECOND rounds? (NOT a TE, but just G, C and T)...

Just one. and that player was Avila in round 2 in 2023 draft.

Bonus question: How many in the 3rd rounds? Just 3 (NoteDoom in '18, Evans in '19, Logan Bruss '22)

Point is, our first pic I hope is our next QB then our second 1st round pic, OL.

What about Stetson

What about Stetson

Longterm, affordable backup

Longterm, affordable backup

Rams have done amazing things with reclamations: think Warner, Bulger and Mayfield… why not Stetson

I stopped myself from putting Wentz on that list

A 1st round LT and a 2nd round Center would be game changing.

Stafford Solid but Shaky: Missed Throws Haunt Red-Zone Woes

Through two games, Matthew Stafford had been playing well, but Sunday’s performance was a step back—19-of-33 for 196 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He bookended the game with highlight-reel throws, including a 44-yard strike to Davante Adams in the first quarter and a 10-yard score to Kyren Williams early in the third to push the lead to 26-7. Yet, in a contest where the Rams needed vintage Stafford, he faltered on routine tosses that could’ve sealed the deal.

In the red zone, Stafford overthrew a wide-open Adams on third down, settling for a field goal instead of seven. Late in the first half, he badly missed Puka Nacua streaking free down the sideline—another field goal ensued. And on the drive before a holding call on center Coleman Shelton nullified a touchdown (putting the Rams up 17-7), Stafford sailed a slant over Adams’ head. These miscues fit a damning pattern in McVay-era losses to elite teams: the Rams go cold inside the 20.

Consider the evidence: In the 2023 playoff loss to Detroit, L.A. was 0-for-3 in the red zone while the Lions converted 3-for-3. Last year’s Week 1 defeat to the Lions? 2-for-5. The 2023 playoff heartbreaker to Philadelphia? Again, 2-for-5. Sunday? A dismal 2-for-5, despite the Shelton penalty gifting them extra life. McVay leaned on analytics with conservative calls, but the offense must execute better. The gap was stark: Rams settled for three while the Eagles punched in touchdowns, turning potential 28 points into 24 and costing four crucial scores.

Rams have done amazing things? No, the coaches and players in those specific times have done amazing things. Rams have not done anything.

There have been so many Rams teams (coaches and management) it changes w every coach.

McVay, yes... turned Bakers football career. But it stops there. Bulger and Warner, different era, different coaches, shoot... different states.

I think you just confirmed that its the Rams as its been different coaches, periods and same results. Either way, we have a good history of this and not such a great history of drafting QBs.. maybe we roll with this and give Stetson a shot (although i think he will get his shot next year at some point)

Well then every other team could say the same thing as well. We’ve also had more of our fair share of the awful QB’s that also, well, stayed awful.

Point being, Stetson is a well priced backup. If this ever changes, please feel free to save this post and throw it in my face.

I don't do that!

There is something about him that I really like. He is incredible fighter and has been through so much. A bit like Mayfield. I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow gets in a game and everything changes.

The other thing is that teams rush young QBs into action and inevitably most of them fail and never get their confidence back. Stetson has been sitting back there watching and observing.

Looking at the current crop of College QBs, there's not one that I would like the Rams to invest a first round pick on (let alone 2) ofcourse that can change through the year.

He’s a 50 mil dollar cap hit. I think the Rams shitty red zone play is a lot on him. He really wasn’t good last year for large portions of season. He did well in the playoffs. He was totally pedestrian today and had good RB play and decent protection. Is Jimmy G at a 2 mil cap hit that different? Sure. Prob still
Lose but you’d have a to Of money to round out that roster.

This!

Well, sort of. If Jimmy G was going to be the starter from day one this year hes not getting paid 2 mil. Still saving money because it would have been more along the lines of 15-20, but certainly not 2 mil.
