Saw this posted on another site by Ground Chuck. Like Chuck, I agree Cowherd nailed it!!! For all those who think Stafford is almost done.....you know who you are.....this should be required listening.

Cowherd crushing the "we gotta find Stafford's replacement now" crowd

You know who doesn't think we have to find Stafford's replacement now? The Rams.

And this current FO/coaching staff have made a lot more good calls than bad ones...

But that doesn't stop the uninformed from claiming we "have to find his replacement now".

Like you said in your WR thread, we're all just shooting the shit here but there's a certainty some people have about stuff none of us know that's always weird to me.

McVay sure seems to like Jimmy G. more than the rest of us and though i don't think Stetson will make the cut to 53, who knows maybe they like him too. Besides, how could a team need anything more than these guys:

Me too. Kinda gives off an attention vibe.

Not now but next draft would be a great time to possibly grab one. They have added draft cap and great talent hopefully coming out. We will have to see how the college season plays out.

Only thing I care about is having the future QB spend a minimum of one season under Stafford tutelage.

Winn?!

My big "IMHO" on this. It really is just informed hunches based on watching but not on any real detailed analysis. All fwiw.

I think JG is a very efficient qb who plays well within the system and is a very crisp extension of the game plan. But I don't think he's clutch.

I wish Stafford were as crisp and efficient as JG earlier in games. Notice, for example, that as often as not defenses pounce on screens of any kind when Stafford is playing, but with JG's big game last year he made all those screens work. I just think that every move in JG's game is to do it "exactly as coached" so he is a good, clean "driver". He's much more of an efficient "coach's machine" at qb than Stafford.

But not only is Stafford better overall (as you would naturally expect), above all you want Stafford in there late in a close game. It's not just that Stafford is more of a gunslinger. Stafford is clutch.

Who was it who said this? A Rams starter last year talked about how Stafford just changes when it's late and the game is on the line. His exact words were, "even his eyes are different."

Winn?!

Ha. Rams always carry 4 QBs in camp and Winn knows the drill. I highly doubt he'll be competing with anyone for anything...

All true.

My main gripe with Jimmy G., he just doesn't seem to have much of an arm left.

I'm wondering if the Rams will carry a 3rd QB this year...
