They got a good running back that fits their style of offense. But it's not quite like the Bucs and Rams. They got quarterbacks. Whiners still have the worst quarterback of all the real contenders.

First, It sucks that he went to the hated ones. He makes them better but I don't think he puts them over the top of the rest of the NFC contenders including the Rams.

I'm glad the Rams didn’t over pay with draft capital. The Whiners clearly gave up their entire draft next year for a (injury waiting to happen) player.

McCaffrey would've been a luxury add but not at that price. The Rams have other positions of need higher on the priority list. JMO

Listening to KNBR (niners flagship station), "All in" is what they are declaring. Should be interesting.

...I don't remember the origin of either phrase ...

Re: "all in," I found these passages from 2015 in the New Yorker to be salient & particularly applicable when mouthpieces for sports teams use this phrase:

"...In American usage, the phrase “all in” began as a colloquial expression meaning to be in a bad spot—exhausted, worn out, and spent. In the game of poker, it refers to the moment when a player—whether out of bravado, recklessness, or desperation—bets all of his or her chips on a single hand. Thanks to the Texas Hold’em craze of the nineteen-nineties and two thousands, and the public’s appetite for new forms of dramatic hyperbole, the poker version of the phrase crossed over to general use and, along the way, became denuded to the point of near meaninglessness. Whereas “all in” once referred to a scenario in which someone either wins a hand or loses everything in a flash, now it means that a person is simply generally enthusiastic or fully committed. It’s everywhere these days—business jargon, marketing catch phrases, sports mantras, and the idioms of religion and self-help.

The all-in moment in poker is a thrilling win-or-lose-everything crisis of dramatic clarity: you’ve wagered all you’ve got, giving your fate over to the cards, and you can’t go back out again. Going all in is often a spectacularly bad idea. But in life, it seems, it is all good—the only way to live boldly is to be all in on many different things at once...

...None of these statements, of course, are true. Modern politicians have not, all of a sudden and all at once, become incredible risk-takers—betting their entire legacies or campaigns on a particular issue or strategy. It’s difficult to think of any moment in history when a politician has actually gone all in...

...Many of poker’s words and phrases are tinged with a kind of roguish romance and drama that we hope may rub off on the more mundane activities of normal life—upping the ante, stacking the deck, calling a bluff, putting your cards on the table. In terms of politics, there is an obvious benefit, for both elected officials and the people who cover them, in making the business of government sound more dangerous or dashing than it really is—riskier and more headless, more heroic, more “mavericky.” Politicians become prizefighters or gunslingers or gamblers; elections are fights or showdowns or high-stakes card games. “All in” makes every event sound like a decisive, dramatic turning point that provides instant, unambiguous resolution...

...In 2006, when Alex Rodriguez wanted to assure Yankees fans that the team was serious about winning, he said, “To use a poker term, we’re all in. This is the most urgent we’ve been. It’s going to be exciting.” (The Yanks didn’t win the World Series that season, but the players still got paid and weren't compelled to retire.) The phrase was still unusual enough that Rodriguez felt the need to offer a bit of context. By now, it has joined the ignoble ranks of the sports cliché. Last spring, as the Cleveland Cavaliers began their playoff run in the N.B.A., fans were exhorted to go all in for LeBron James and their home-town team, which in turn would go all in for them. Cleveland was a family, drawn together and dreaming big. Let’s hope that there weren’t many gamblers in Cleveland who took the suggestion seriously and bet the farm on the Cavs in the Finals. They lost in six games to the Golden State Warriors..."

CMC, remember last time you were in Sofi?? Ya that’s right, Ramsey forklifted you. I’m sure he is looking forward to doing that again. You saw NOTHING from the Rams D like you will see next week. TRUST.
