Renfrow's a good player but he is no Kupp. This is a good example of people wanting to lump them together because they're both white IMO.

Kupp not only separates through great routework but he also brings size, power, and RAC. He's like a mix of Rice and Fitzgerald. You can check skin color at the door with this dude.

I don't think it is because they are both white. They are both scrappy and rely on supreme route running to get open on many of their routes. Kupp even has said one of his routes for a TD this playoffs came from Renfrow. They saw him do it in pre-season and incorporated it themselves.

Kupp is bigger and faster which allows him to be less of just a slot receiver like Renfrow. Renfrow can make plays out of the slot, but he is still, by and large, a slot WR. Kupp is also much better in the run game, both as a runner and a blocker.

Different players but yet with quite a few similarities as well. I rate Renfrow very highly, ever since his Clemson days, and have banged the drum for him to be recognized for years. But he is not on Kupp's level. Which really just speaks to how incredible Kupp is, more than anything else. I also don't think Renfrow could succeed against the quantum of double teams Kupp often attracts in the secondary. Opposing defences more often seem to double Waller on the Raiders, and now, I suspect Davante Adams.

Congrats to Cooper Kupp!

Rams keeping core players and building around them. They also add core-type players. I'm glad that the Kupp and AD contracts are settled for now. It's great to know going into training camp there should NOT be any big distractions.

So I understand that Renfrow had similar stats to Kupp

One salary year of about $29.3m in 2025 after AD retires. Basically rams will carry an extra QB-sized cap hit that year and the SB window probably closes for a bit.
My thinking is, they'll figure out a way to rework that contract and potentially it was already part of the conversation. We may carry some dead money for several years after AD is "retired" even though he's sitting in his gorgeous complex in Hidden Hills. I put nothing past this organization at this point. They are schooling the NFL when it comes to working the cap. This is Stan's crown jewel and he will do everything to keep us on top.

It's funny. Kupp and his family seems like true hippy folk which I honestly love. They seem like the real deal. Hard working, life loving, living life to its fullest. Most people don't expect that of me but it I totally identify with what I perceive as their way of life. Without the millions of course. :cool:

even though teams have been doing it for many, many years there seems to be some pushback by the media about how the rams do business. maybe because the rams are so successful in how they manipulate the cap there's a lot of jealousy out there and that leads to anger.

fuck them. time for the rams to shine brightly.

Well, that is the last yr of Stafford's deal. If he is still playing well, they can extend him and lower his cap number that yr. Might be a big "if", but possible.

You're preaching to the choir. I keep telling another friend of mine that for the first time I would rather have the Clipper's owner then Jeanie, but that's just me. And we all knew that Westbrook trade was a mistake.
Eh, that Ballmer dude’s a kook—perfect for the slippers, but as a Laker fan myself, I’d definitely take a stable owner with Ballmer-type money any day.

I can’t read article since I’m not on twitter. But Is this fuckwit saying Hunter Renfro is in same universe as Cooper Kupp ? If so ban him permanently from every media outlet because this twat is smoking some evil crack. Kupp is top 3 WR at worst. Renfrow a fine WR3/top 40 WR. No disrespect to Renfrow but c’mon man expose this is criminal.
I have Twitter and this is what it says: The Raiders paid like 60% of what the Rams paid for the same player.

More like: The Raiders paid like 60% of what the Rams paid, but then again, the Raiders got a player that’s 60% of the Rams player.

Don’t worry, that poster is getting shredded. One poster even showed stats that put Renfrow literally 60% of Kupp statistically. Even a whiner fan said he was dead wrong.

Reading his comments in the thread, I think he's just trolling.

You don't need twitter to read the article. Just click the link that takes you to the PFF article.

Renfrow is 5’10”… that alone is a big difference from Cooper Kupp.
