….and you’ve talked to Stafford and he told you he’s def coming back regardless of the offer the Rams make….ok

How did you get that from my comment? I was LOL at the commentary "tough call" and "stuck with Stafford". That's all.

Stafford will do what he wants to do (play or not) and he hinted he's got game left. Is it even an issue?

[AvengerRam]

Exactly. I have no idea how Stafford feels about anything other than his obvious appreciation for being made an LA Ram. I hope he wants to come back but hope is not a strategy.

So what’s the “tough call”?

Yeah… this thread is starting to make me think about that line from Planes, Trains and Automobiles:

“And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!”

Per McVay today's pressor.

Sounds like job #1 is getting with Stafford soon (next week). Sounds like already had good convo, doesnt want things to longer like they did last season (up to TC). Not good for anyone.
Sounded all positive to me.

Sounds like a convo with Kupp will be coming at some point too, maybe a difficult conversation.

If Stafford wants to come back (seems to) and the Rams want him back (no question) then there is absolutely no reason why they should not be able to work out the money issues.

Yep and what I like he McVay is motivated to get it done much earlier, which makes total sense.

I think they need to find a way to get Kupp back as well. He is not washed. And contrary to what some talking game ads have reported, he can still separate. Not at the level of a few years ago. But, he is savvy. He knows the position and the game really well. There will be an influx of “new” at the positions. Would love to have Kupp the vet there to model the way and help teach and coach. As well as his production in Al aspects of the position.

I think the big 4 will all be back (adding Higs and Havs) and there will be some restructured deals. I’d like to have D Rob back as well but A. Whittington will get every change to assume that role. B. We need more explosive players in the top 4 WR positions. Nacua and Kupp aren’t that. Neither is D Rob. J Ehit is fast but I don’t know how explosive or how great he is a separation. Need to as a couple of stud WRs to the room.

Same can be applied to TE. Would love to add an explosive player to that group as well.

Add in a change of pace home run RB and this offense is lethal

Re signing A Jax is a huge priority to me as well.

I agree with all of this. I still like Tyler Johnson's size as an option. Dude is good redzone target and not easy to bring down, but yeah we need a speedy WR with size. I would also like to see Kupp stay, as painful as it was a watch back some of the Philly game, Kupp was getting open. I think Whittington takes over Kupp role when he is done, give Kupp more plays off to be fresh. It is really a shame McVay didnt use Tutu's speed more.

Honestly I think the Rams should see a trade for Tee Higgins and address other needs in the draft.

One thing about the Philly game...we were literally one play from winning that game. If you remember when we won the Super Bowl in 21. We literally beat Tampa (final play), Niners drive by Stafford to complete comeback and sack (INT) to seal and same with the Bengals.
The bottom line is you need to a little good fortune and great execution late to win. If Beaux doesnt get faked out 2 plays in row we could be talking great SB possibility. Still not over it.

But see part of that is personsel.

Baux when did he get in? Wasn’t Avilla the center??? Why did they switch.

See what baffles me is does Avilla do that and mess up on reading that twice????

You really gotta make sure you have the right center. Hes thr Quarterback of the offensive line reading which player to take telling the other lineman. It really is a team game.
