I can put up with Kelly Stafford.

[ramman2999]

People lie Stats don’t

329 2 touchdowns no picks against the Eagles. What was the completion percentage in that game?

[ramman2999]

What was his Quarterback rating in that game?

[ramman2999]

We will have a Quarterback drop off with no Matthew Stafford. You want Russell Wilson???

I told y’all about the Aaron Rodgers shit and I was laughed at.

Aaron needs a culture fit. That’s why Devonte Adams wanted to come here.

This won’t be Rodgers team. The Jets were Rodgers team.

We don’t give a fuck. If Rodgers comes here focused and he has a mindset of team this can be great.

One thing Rodgers didn’t have in New York and even Laflor probably since his Super Bowl is with Mcarthy

Is why Mcvay a Quarterback guy who speaks his language. Mcvay is smart Rodgers is smart. Quick reads where to go with the football. Ball placement stuff like that.

The weather playing on the west coast will help. Being comfortable. He lives in Malibu. This ain’t a fish tank like New York. They have the Lakers Dodgers USC other teams.

So Rodgers will get that comfortable. Run the offense and then we’ll have the next guy in place after we make our trade with Stafford if that’s what happens.

You have elite playmakers in this draft.

The Rams see a guy they’ve identified and they want him. Last season it was Verse.

I don't think Stafford has talked about retirement enough for it to be an issue, no. Most older players say they'll take a little time at the end of the season, talk with their families, etc. Kind of status quo if you ask me.

He hasn't.

Look at it logically. He joined LA in 2021 and won the SB. No talk of retirement going into 2022!! He was injured in 2022 and there were suggestions he could retire depending on the injury. Did he "talk about retirement"? Not that I remember. He played in 2023 and then his contract, particularly guaranteed money was an issue. Again there were suggestions he could retire. Was he talking retirement? Not that I remember. This off season, more suggestions and very early on he said he "wants to continue playing". So NO, he hasn't talked about retiring very much at all. Have other people talked about his retirement? Absofuckinglootly.

Ya, He has never said anything g directly about retiring. He’s talked about how he feels physically. He’s said he talks to his family after each season I believe - as do most players with a family that have 10+ years in the league. This year, after the loss to the Eagles, he specifically said he feels like he has more good football left in him. He’s playing in 2025…somewhere, hopefully here. I have mixed feeling about Rodgers if Stafford is gone. I think AR can still play. I think he is a step down from Stafford at this point in time. But he might be the best vet available. At least at the moment. I think and hope we will get an answer to the Stafford question before the draft.

"I don't think Stafford has talked about retirement enough for it to be an issue, no. Most older players say they'll take a little time at the end of the season, talk with their families, etc. Kind of status quo if you ask me."

There is itself states you basically agree with my assessment, saying the obvious, Stafford has likely talked about retirement. Not that I care to search for quotes on the internet or prove I was in the room. Then you have someone continually demanding receipts for something that most people (yourself now included) take for common knowledge.

So where does it stand today? The Rams have hired Alex Van Pelt, ARod's QB coach in GB 2014-2017. The Rams have also now evaluated offers they've been floated for Stafford. Again, just skuttlebutt...or is it? OK, for my opinion, I think the Rams are about done with Stafford and seeing if they can get a two-for with Aaron Rodgers and Davanta Adams coming over in one fell swoop. If they do this it WON'T be about the money with Stafford because neither ARod or Adams will come cheap. I don't like it but I'm seeing the door a LOT more open now. Still hope they sign Stafford.

I wish I had $100 for every time McVay had to say to the press (and I paraphrase) I'd like to see this resolved (with Matt) sooner than later. We've only had a few contracts negotiated or retooled but my ASSUMPTION is yeah, it's come up and Stafford has used it to get what he wants. This time, the Rams (so far) ain't buying in. You want to walk? You want us to trade you? No problem. That's what I'm hearing today but IT"S JUST MY OPINION.

Ok, so I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, but I think this is an important distinction. There is a BIG difference between an athlete that speaks publicly about retirement, vs. the assumption that this guy has talked about it in private with his family.

And, other than saying (the day the season ends) that he's going to take some time to think about things, I don't recall Matthew Stafford speaking PUBLICLY about retirement. Ever.

When we say that Stafford hasn't talked about retirement, we mean publicly. What he says or thinks in private is a matter of pure conjecture, nothing else.

When Matthew Stafford intends to retire remains unknown, to the outside world.

No. Here's what you said:

"His constant talk of retiring has killed any 2-3 yr deals but will he take a one year deal?"

I'm happy to let this go and move on but you're simply not being honest when you now say all you ever claimed was "Stafford has likely talked about retirement."

That's not the case.

It's up to the person making a claim to defend that claim.

You claimed "his constant talk of retiring has killed any 2-3 year deals..."

You were asked to back that up. You couldn't.

Time to move on. But let's not pretend you never said what you said...
