BTW - look at Wilson Mama’s Boy(jets) & Trey(jimmy’s G-string holder) Lance

Donald is likely to retire after this season which would free up alot of cap space. Ramsey can be traded for draft picks. Stafford could retire freeing up even more cap to sign quality players. Lot's of moving parts going into the off season.

I think the Donald retirement talk is all BS. He has plenty of time to get into hobbies and his post NFL endeavours later.

Not to mention… None of those hobbies will be earning him $30M a year.

Good post CGI. - this is The Time you find out what True Rams Fans are made of.

I actually didn’t watch the game(s) this season, but I’m HAPPY for all The Injuries.

I actually LOVE where The Rams are at right now!!

Oh Yeah & I HATE all DODGERS (some) FANS!! Maybe they are the same breed.

LMAO -They (we) are lucky Stan Kronke lost out to MAGIC Johnson’s group. We’ll actually I don’t know how it would have all went down between the 2 Franchises.

As an Angels Fan & knowing when The Rams played in their House & the History of my Life.
I’ll say how does Shoni Ohtani not win The MVP? Anyways talk about losing,but having a Great Player( Trouts a loser), and getting through a season.

I’ll take the losing,injuries,& shutting down players for 2023 big time this season.

I also think 2023 The Angels do well.

We’ll that will be interesting,seeing what Joesph Noteboom’s future is.

How much donThe Rams owe him & where else can he play ?

Well I’d say after this years injuries nobody was safe. Boom is just a backup imo. We need a proper LT. I don’t know who. I leave that to those that know better than I.

Fair enough - IMO ,just looking forward to AJ Arcuri getting another chance.

I won’t judge Noteboom,but then your happy if Mcvay roles with Noteboom again. Obviously in your own admittance he knows better than you. Do you trust Mcvay & Snead then?

What did you think about A’ Jackson this season ?

I'm not focused on getting a 1st rounder because the best the Rams could probably do is a pick in the 20's.

I am focused on how high their first rounder (held by Detroit) will be. It could certainly be a top-5 overall pick; and that's where some stars are selected. Also, top-5 picks can often be traded for multiple first round draft choices; and, it's that type of draft capital that an aggressive front office can be creative with.

It's going to sting once we Draftniks see the players that will be available at the top of Round One; and the type of trades that are discussed.

Many of us will have to remind ourselves that the Rams do not win the Super Bowl without Matthew Stafford; and the high #1 is the cost ... but ... it will sting.

I remember when the Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey for two 1st rounders, and my immediate thought was ... UGH! (I can be very eloquent). Then I rationalized it by believing (correctly) that those first round picks would be no higher than the 20's. Would anyone prefer the Rams had K'Lavon Chaisson and Travis Ettiene?

Like most, I figured the two #1s for Stafford would translate to no higher than mid-20s (REALLY NOT Correct). Many of us love the off-season and the Draft, especially after a losing season. We are going to be analyzing, reading, listening and posting about the 2023 Draft; and that high #1 pick is going to be a frequent, unpleasant reminder.

To be honest, next year we will find out about how McVay and Snead respond. This year will test their metal for sure. I think they are both winners and we will likely rebound.

A Jackson looks like a good fit, but being our whole OL is decimated I will take a wait and see on that. But to the eyes, he looks promising.

How many 6th round picks is it going to take to get back in the top of the 1st round?

I don’t see how trading away all of the draft capital you have to get one player is going to help.

The way things are going they’ll pick in the top 5 of the second round. Make sure you don’t fuck that one up.

There's no way to know, but I really didn't feel like Donald's retirement talk was B.S. Yes, he came back for an insanely high amount of money and a shot at a repeat championship, but one of those is basically dead unless he's willing to play a few more years. He's rich. He's not stupid rich, but playing a few more years won't get him their either.

Donald has somehow survived his NFL career without a significant injury. To put things in perspective, his potential high-ankle sprain this year is probably the worst injury of his career. That's feels like a good year for Saquon Barkley.

Yeah, good points.

It’s hard to see Donald having a life altering injury at the position he plays and his physical conditioning. So… keep playing!

Milk that NFL dough and THEN he can start 30 really expensive hobbies for every year he plays going forward.

All said I do think he retires a tad early, but not at 32 and no real physical concerns.
