Yes it was but how he went about it was all wrong as he was obviously an idiot. I equated to how some of these NFL players are gamers. If you put football first when the time comes and focus on gaming when football isn't the primary thing that needs attention, then it works out.
By the way, only gave that ouch vote cuz that pick was painful as fuck for all us Rams fans especially after the Jason Smith debacle. I think I need a drink or 4 now hahaha
I read the comments he made about fans shitting on his album. He doesn't say he doesn't give a shit about football and says football isn't going anywhere. I'm paraphrasing here, but he says football is something he does but it doesn't define who he is. I take it as someone that has other interests besides football which is perfectly ok as long as he is able to focus and put in the work required to be successful on the field. Football players are allowed to have outside hobbies and other passions. The guy literally has played a partial rookie year and balled out when he did. He has the talent and obviously had to have some focus to be that successful. Is it possible that this rap thing becomes more of a distraction? Of course, but so far it really hasn't. His biggest issue so far is his availability and questionable decisions about not getting his head in the playbook. He's young and it's possible if he's surrounded by a better locker room, he can flourish and grow a bit more mature. Unfortunately only time will tell where he ultimately ends up.
I hear you there. I'd guess the most the Rams may offer is a 5th rd pick which would be reasonable and a possible steal. However this probably depends on if we sign OBJ as well. Apparently the Giants are mostly listening to offers probably because with everyone knowing they want to get rid of him, they got low ball offers like crazy.
One could argue that its a better gamble for us to take because we just won the Super Bowl. We just accomplished the ultimate goal and have nothing to prove. We have a stable locker room, elite player leadership, and we have the ultimate culture builder in McVay. Rumor is NY us asking for a 3rd round pick for Toney. If McVay and Snead think he could fit, I would try to trade 2023 pick(s) for him. In our offense I think he would explode.
Sure. You could look at it that way. The kid has PROBLEM written all over him. In our offense he'd be a young DJAX. We were 7-1 when DJAX was unhappy. KT..."I don't care if we're winning... I'm not getting the ball enough" . And just like with DJax, screw him.
DeSean came in as a WR4 and was unhappy with the number of overall targets, ... Kupp, Woods & Jefferson were ahead of him. Toney would be our WR3 if Obj is out of the picture & Jefferson was part of the trade. Toney would likely receive as many targets as VJ did last season (89).
Would love to bring OBJ back no doubt. But we dont know when he'll be back. For the 1st half or 3/4 of the year we are one injury away from our offense looking like the SB again. Toney cannot be stopped by man coverage, especially in a McVay scheme. It just gives us a dynamic playmaker who is 2 years younger and a better player than Van. IMO we cannot trust Van to make a big impact if Kupp/ARob goes down.
