When you trade so much for Stafford you have to keep him and see it through. He can still throw. No need to run him outa town. He’s tied to Mcvay.

Dare if Stafford goes Mcvay goes.

Stafford is the Rams.

We will draft a developmental Quarterback rather it be Dart Howard or Gabriel.

But Stafford is the guy.

Staffords not the Reason we lost. Our rookie center took a shit on two of the biggest plays of the season.

Stafford is a savage.

To your point. In order to win a chip you will need to beat at Allen, Lamar ,Mahomes etc etc Stafford gives us a great chance to compete.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this is the play....

can we get Joe to "bump into" McVay in Cabo? Get Snead to give up our next 4 1st's (they'll be late firsts anyway), and LFG!!!!

To quote some songwriter "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

Get Joe out of Cinci. Joe and McVay.....that would be a beautiful sight to see.

I’m taking care of Stafford.

I want to get him some weapons that will assure he has the best team going forward.

1. I want to sign Adam Thielen solid vet who still has something left. Will be extremely cheap. Can come in with Kupp Robinson and Nacua. Get us tough yards.

2. Im signing Ronnie Stanley we need a big left tackle to protect stafford. Aleric Jackson has been great. But we havent had that protection since Whitworth.


3. Trey Smith Guard Kansas City Chiefs. Dotson has been okay but not great.

4. We really need to draft Mason Taylor hes perfect for us. Would be a star with Nacua would really help us. Higbee isnt a reliable tight end. Always gets hurt. Maybe this will keep him fresh where he doesn’t play so many snaps. Hes not a long term solution at tight end. Hes great for Stafford but it would be good for him to groom the next tight end. Thats Mason Taylor.

5. Just to fuck with the 49ers. George Kittle.

This is the page where I pitched Lawrence back in November, roughly the same time I was pitching Burrow in the live game day chats. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17193&hilit=lawrence

I couldn't care less who "had the idea first", I don't need validation that badly. So.... I guess...

way to go champ! You should totally be an NFL GM!

The future of Stafford, who does expect to continue playing (as he said in the locker room in Philadelphia), is also a topic in question for the Rams. Stafford adjusted his contract to move most of its remaining guarantees to the 2024 season, effectively rendering it a one-year deal.

The Rams must decide whether to adjust the contract again, or part ways with Stafford. Neither Snead nor McVay expressly committed to the veteran quarterback in their end-of-season news conferences, though allowed that figuring out his situation is a top priority.

Just a question a friend asked me and I said anything is possible.

He asked me what I thought about the Rams trading Stafford. I told him anything is possible if Stafford is wanting to play two maybe 3 more years that would be beyond what he could get from LA. I told him I thought if he's traded it would be to the AFC and somewhere close to SoCal since he and his family are settled there.

We both laughed and said that sounds like Las Vegas who with HC Pete will be in win now mode. We talked about what that might look like. Stafford and the #26 pick for the Raiders #6 pick. The Rams would draft whatever QB they want, jump the Niners, and have Jimmy G as their one year bridge QB. A lot of evaluators are thinking most QBs will drop this year but this is before the combine. I told him the problem with that is he will be away from home most of the year. It's a 45 min. flight but does he want to do that for 2 years? IMO he will play for LA or no one. My friend is a Raider fan so you know how they are. But he's right Carroll will want to win now and he will need a vet QB to do that.

It made me smile because unlike prior most people think Stafford will be on a year to year basis with his career. People don't realize why I kept saying Matt was likely gone after 2024. When he pulled that stunt before the season he voided the long term of his contract and accepted a one year deal, i.e. only for the 2024 season for $4M more guaranteed money in 2024.

This is why I always understood that the Rams were going to take the next QB in this year's draft. He upset the cart when he made the demands last year after the draft. Because it forced them to look at extending him or using Jimmy as the bridge. This is why trading him wouldn't be out of the question considering what he pulled last year.

But yeah I assume he will be the bridge here as it would give him one more shot at a ring. His tired arm cost them a real shot this past year. As the 4th seed, they could be playing in this year's SB.

Also, I seriously doubt they would be trading Kupp if Stafford was expected beyond 2025. This is likely to be Matt's farewell tour.

... using Jimmy as the bridge. This is why trading (Stafford) wouldn't be out of the question...

Ah, excuse me
Oh, will you excuse me
I'm just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Please
(Have you seen the bridge?)
I ain't seen the bridge
(Where's that confounded bridge?)

Jimmy the Bridge Garoppolo is good to be the "bridge" for one series while the starting QB gets his ankle taped. Oh, and maybe to play in a meaningless game. Beyond that he is a disaster. I doubt that the Rams offer Garoppolo a contract for 2025
