I don't think the question with anyone with half a brain is if Goff's been a good QB, it's been if he has what it takes to be a SB winning QB. To lock it in when it comes down to it and the answer to that is NO.

Click to expand...

To this point in his career, the answer is "no". He's beginning his 10th season in the NFL (man how time flies!!!!) so he's got time. Fortunately for him, he's playing for a good team. Unfortunately, they just lost both their coordinators. So if they're gonna win anything, it would take a stellar effort from him. I hope he doesn't accomplish it ..... for personal reasons. But in year 10 our very own Matt Stafford hadn't shown he had what it took to even win a postseason game, let alone a Lombardi. That being said, we can look back over NFL history and see many stellar QBs who can't say they had what it took to win a Lombardi....without the Lombardi.

Corbin said:

He does have the gut check capability in him to complete a whole season, and the evidence supports that conclusion. As of right now he's comparable to a Matt Ryan, nothing more.

Absolutely true. And not a bad comparison at all.

Welcome to the 2025 Season Goff roast everybody wooooooo!

Yeah, the things we'll talk about leading up to camp and the start of the season. What a bunch of slackers! After talking to Ram fans for the last few decades, I think Ram fans see Rams QBs in 3 different decending lights.

Warner, outta nowhere, winner of a SB (also a 2 time SB loser FWIW)

Ferragamo, outta nowhere, loser of a SB

Everett, high draft pick, never played in a SB

Goff is squeezed somewhere under Ferragamo and over Everett. Stafford is in there with Warner, probably a little lower if not for all the Kurt/Brenda drama. he did what we got him to do.

I am planning a large site update and will be announcing the timing of that soon.

That's my prediction: Stewart will replace Young.

I'm really high on Stewart. I like Young but he doesn't create pressure or sacks - he's more of a cleanup guy. And I don't see him developing into more than that.

Click to expand...

Yeah, Young isn't a bad player, but, he isn't a difference maker yet.
Hes a solid guy, probably best suited to be a very good rotational guy.
Jackson is another edge prospect that could be interesting. I loved the pick when he was drafted, but, when he played he looked a bit stiff and slow footed.
The sample size is too small to really make a judgement however.
Lots of young defensive players Im looking forward to watching this year.

Well - 2025 is starting of TRAINING CAMP- predictions

-Hard call,but Xavier Smith is underrated as a player. His special teams skills were top on The Rams.
He was the 1st player down as a gunner. Was a returner.

I just wish it was in L.A. Nah, on second thought let's knock them out in front of their fans. Won't be snowing this time.

If the LA RAMS had gotten him seven years earlier there would have been a couple more Lombardi Trophies in the case.

I just went on to CBSSports.com web site to review the Rams depth chart.

Now I realize these depth charts this time of year are often inaccurate, and to take them with a grain of salt. (For example Nate Landman is listed behind dead-man-walking Troy Reeder, and we all know Reeder probably won’t ultimately be starting) But in reviewing the offense something was missing….hmm…no Guard position players. At all. Maybe they are listed under Center, you know like interior lineman? Nope. Dotson, Avilla, etc. omitted from the depth chart.

So I thought huh. Must be an aberration. And I went into the Whiners page. Sure enough. No Guards listed. Check it out yourself.

What morons. Who’s running their site? Kind of a first-world football fan problem. But I’m calling those guys out.

Dummies.

That is all

By all accounts, Hunter is a quick study in absorbing & assimilating offensive details. So he may hit the field quicker and more frequently than most rookie RBs under the McVay regime. As always the key issue for the Leprechaun is the following:

Sean (to Hunter): "If I allow you on the football field in a real game, will Matthew remain healthy with respect to your pass protection efforts? You see, we are trying to complete a successful Super Bowl run here."

Why ? The Rams are not in that position. If the top guy gets hurt there are 2 other talented guys.

I was responding negatively to the use of a Rams bell cow RB. Committed seems the smarter approach.

Sorry, but I gotta bitch again. I can’t stand hitting the link for articleswhere the first thing they do is ask you for more money to read shit that everybody else gives you for free. I had to get that off my chest.
It’s like going to Subway and being asked to give a tip to somebody who merely made a sandwich for me.

Click to expand...

No doubt. Worst thing is as a diehard fan it's not like that shit is going to be worth the money. You probably know more about the Rams than he does. Only thing they can offer is direct info from the team.

And the tip thing is out of fucking control in American society. Bottom line is tips go to someone who waits on you. And in rare circumstances someone who you know went out of their way, above and beyond, to take care of you or make you comfortable. The fucking entitlement is some BS though I do tend to avoid the places that bring that shit to the fore.

I mean I refuse to overpay for coffee or tea for example, when coffee at home is as good or usually better. And they're notorious for that tip pushing shit, as well as "do you want to give to x" bullshite. Also I still get pissed when my wife and I are leaving the pet store and she gives money to the popup option to help shelters or whatever. Not because I have a problem giving money to shelters. But because I suspect none of it makes it to the actual animals. And that goes for any "do you want to give" option for that matter.

Yeah, I thought Brian Smith was going to be a beast. He was a 6'6' 250 lb OLB out of Auburn... 2nd rd pick. Never did a thing...was as average as his name.

Hawkins tore up his knee in his rookie preseason. Never seemed to recover from it.

Frank Stams was average at best.

Darryl Henley is still in jail I believe.

Aaron Cox had his moments, but basically a Tu Tu Atwell type...just too small.

Gaston Green couldn't break a tackle.

Cleveland Gary couldn't hold onto a football.

What a disappointing mess.

They did have some late round role players/contributors that helped get them to the NFCCG in 89'. Guys like Robert Delpino, George Bethune, Mark Messner, Michael Stewart, and Mike Piel, but it was a missed opportunity.

“Henley is currently serving a 41-year prison sentence for trafficking cocaine and attempting to murder the judge and a witness from his trial by hiring contract killers.” Sheesh…!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing that!

Really love the autographed Joe Klopfenstein photo.

2019 Tunsil lead the league with 17 penalties, including 14 false starts

2024 Tunsil led the league with 19 penalties, with 6 in a loss against the Minnesota Vikings

Dropped in the draft. Traded twice. Can't figure out why.

30 penalties accepted the last 2 years. Alaric? 11.

I would never do what Mr. Baumgartner did. I am deathly terrified of heights. Still, I can respect a person who dies doing what they love. Still, I'd prefer a female variation of how Tyrion wants to go:

Reporters and content creators have admitted to visiting fan forums to get talking points. This seems like the case here. Who asks a professional wrestler his unqualified opinion on the upcoming NFL season? He was probably given things to say.

Maybe this leads to an upcoming Wrestlemania cameo, where Puka kicks his ass with a new move called ‘The Game Changer’.

Kyren has that special ability to find the end zone. And that is not always true
with backs of similar abilities as his. some backs just raise their game when they
smell the end zone. He kind of reminds me of Marshawn Lynch

I just got Phil Steeles 2025 College Football Preview and was cross checking some of his rankings from his 2022 and 2024 Previews. He had Emmanuel Forbes ranked as his #1 CB going into the 2022 season. Forbes was picked #16 in the 2023 draft, so that was a pretty solid evaluation. It didn't work out in Washington for whatever reason. Rivera's last year and then Quinn's first year might have had something to do with it. But if the kid can play anywhere near his projections (by multiple sources), the Rams have stolen a valuable piece of D.

Click to expand...

Well Rams are on this list . IMO The Rams CB’s show up and make a name for themselves.

I take it for what it’s worth.There are things that go into that are unaccounted for.

Like above poster the numbers might not show up as whole,but when you look at the production it adds up to 2 excellent}1 type WR’s.

There’s a reason The Rams(Mcvay) went after D. Adams & released Cooper Kupp.

I like the WR & add 12 personnel as well with 4 TE’s The Rams are going to be dangerous.We as Ram Fans should know this if 2024 is a reflection.

IMO Sean Mcvay is going to do a lot better in his play calling & things upfront should settle in nicely.

I saw RT when I was just out of HS. It was a small venue called the Keystone in Palo Alto, CA. It was renamed the Edge many years ago. I was within 20 feet of the stage.

He was fucking awesome, with Jack Bruce still with him on bass and more importantly, vocals. An absolutely fantastic show.

Bridge of Sighs should be in every audiophile’s collection.

Thanks for this reminder. I’m gonna get into that album for a few days.

They had a pretty good plan overall I think. Rolled the dice on OT and might have gotten burned, but we will see.

OT, CB, and QBotF are up next.
