Rams 2026 -from start of OTA’s

[So Ram]

I’ll start from this 2026 Draft

Mattew Stafford coming off a MVP season & almost taking The Rams to another Superbowl.There’s not many from Training Camp would’ve even thought he’d finish 2025 season Healthy.

Stetson is in his last season of a contract.He’ll have to battle to maintain 2nd string status,but with Jimmy G GONE(didn’t think that would happen) it’s his job to lose.

TY SIMPSON- was shocking to see Drafted by The Rams at 13!! The Preseason & how he proceeds is going to be interesting.Being Drafted in The FIRST RD though makes him THE QB of The FUTURE!!

This kid from Texas is an Interesting Pick UP !! He gives The Rams a lot to build on with an EXCELLENT OFFENSE COACHING STAFF & Minds.

Hmm. So if something happens to Stafford we turn to Bennett? He has shown less in his three years of preseason games with the Rams than Simpson did in his 15 games at Bama. I guess it depends if we're talking about coming in for a quarter or for 4-5 games. But wow, if they didn't use Simpson, the howling on this and other sites would be fierce.

Well it has already started about TY Simpson being The Rams first RD pick at QB.There’s no true science to what Happens just from The Start.Usually by RULE you have to beat a player out of his position.

From What I’ve seen & KNOW this is the way SEAN MCVAY & The Rams Organization run things.
A super small sample size is Terrance Ferguson last season.Davies Allen started over him.

BTW - this is The Start of 2026.We don’t even know how good Ty Simpson is going to be.I”ll give you that perspective though,which could be The Sky is The Limit!!

I’ll let Stetson Bennett IV career speak for itself.Which some will quickly reflect to his season off of football.Then again this is just my opinion & I can’t debate anymore than what I’ve seen.

I’ve come to Trust The Rams Draft Picks.I call it BALLzY to wear Avalanche Jersey during The Rams Draft House at HOLLYWOOD PARK next to The LA (KIA) FORUM the Day of a KINGS vs COLORADO Game!

To me it is a sort of FU to LA FANS who support there team.SO IMO The Front Office Really doesn’t care what certain Fans think.

What I Know is The Sport World has CHANGED!! The LOS ANGELES RAMS is BIGGER than LA.black than St.Louis !! What STAN KRONKE has done is CHANGE THE CITY of LA!! Without STAN KRONKE & The RAMS ORGANIZATION has done is make this a WORLD MARKET.

Starting 2026 season in Australia!! It’s funny all those who sell there tickets against the niners won’t make money on that game this season.

2028 Olympics is basically because of Kronke.The Clippers Owner helped his building from the start adding History to this Event.

Just a Rams Fan stating my opinion.

Thank you !! Heard Kevin DEMOFF before going to a game Friday.Did not get the interview from the start,but had to stay in my Truck to hear the end of the interview.Thinking this is Kevin DEMOFF.
Anyway one of The Key things he said was who they were Drafting was basically going to be a Player who has worked his way through The PORTAL & EARN his Right to START !!

Ty Simpson was LOYAL(Merlin) to his Team (BAMA). He wanted & earned The Starting QB spot.

I look at that as an Honor & The Rams Culture of FAITH is HUGE !!
The RAMS like the diversity of there PLAYERS !! There is ONE thing TY SIMPSON is going to stay TRUE to no matter what any of US is going to think.It’s an EXCELLENT MIND SET !!

This 2026 NFL QB First Rd Draft Class will be The Biggest God Praising in HISTORY!! That will be guaranteed. That’s IMO,but History will Speak !!

Will also see which QB has the Better Career. Mendoza is still a question mark.He is Tough & Strong in the Pocket.The NFL has a mind of its own when it comes to prospects. We can look at The History of 1st Rd QB’s.

I”ll leave it at that ….

Guess I have to add The Running Back Position before the thread changes to The QB.

Kyren Williams signing the Extension really keeps this RB StabLe together!!What a Stud.His fumbles have been an issue.His durability though has been excellent of late.Pound 4 Pound The BEST PAss Blocking RB in The NFL.

Blake Corum established himself as a NFL starting or Plus 1 type.He really showed he could take on a Load.Having him really added to The Rams Power Ball !! His pass blocking has gotten better.His receiving out of the backfield hasn’t been the best.He has Upside still.

Ronnie Rivers will continue to improve.He probably needs to try & find a special teams spot.

Jarquez Hunter is a Player I like to fight for Playing Time.Look forward to his growth.

I dunno @So Ram , I know you still like him & have hopes for him but there's something wrong. I really hope we do see him more this pre-season, to see what we have in him, but after a few pre-season carries in '25 he literally disappeared. Not even 1 ST snap in '25. There may be something wrong with him above the neck.

It's a lot to unpack. Kind of like after a day of garage sale-ing with the wife.

IMO - respectfully such BS !! Did you see him in The Playoff game ?

You’re going to tell me there is enough Carries to Go Around ?
How many snaps did Jimmy G get last season?? Those Snaps are EARNED & I’ll continue to BEAT that Drum !! Hunter hasn’t done anything wrong. There was coach speak about him not playing SO there’s that.

JonRam we’ll just have to see.He is signed for 3 more seasons.If you don’t think he’ll make an impact by then,I can’t change your mind or anyone else’s. Breaking down this roster.

Basically J.Hunter is a 1 injury away from being a solid contributor.How he progresses from NOW means it ALL !! The preseason is going to be FUN !!

actually... no? did he have snaps in the playoffs? per wiki (I stand corrected) he had 22 snaps during the regular season on ST's, in 5 of the first 6 games but none thereafter. He had 0 snaps on offense for all of '25.
...meaning, after game 6, he had NO snaps, not even on ST's.
I really hope you're right, and maybe he's just got something physically wrong that the Rams wanted to "red shirt" him for a year to get his body right, or something, but for most of '25 he was a "healthy scratch".
btw, his 4.44 speed? sure he's the "fastest" on this team, but several RB's in this draft had sub-4.0 times. Dean Connors (our UDFA RB) ran a 4.48 & had a faster 10-yd split (1.57 vs 1.58) than Hunter.

 

[So Ram]

Just going to post this from a Rams YouTuber. IMO his TAKE shows some decent knowledge,but he still OFF BASE !! PUNA FORD is NOT a STARTER!!!

I guess The D-LINE is going to be a BATTLE!!! B-FISKE though is a(Mcvay)STUD !! Don’t think he gets enough Credit for coming off a KNEE INJURY SO fast(soon).His speed & power should be off the charts again in 2026.

Just to stay with THE HORN 4 is B. Young. He is in a CONTRACT YEAR!!
He was playing HURT in The End of 2025.He was fighting through injury & I think that got over looked.It WILL be interesting what happens with him as a RAM !!
—I believe The Rams took care of Kobie Turner ?? He got a FAIR contract ??v??
Jared Verse still has THREE more SEASONS (year 5),but after year 4 he will want an extension.

Just wondering if you checked a Playoff Game ?? I thought I saw him make a tackle on special teams? I swear I saw a #27 ?

Not sure if I have any of those games ? Dude in honesty I can hardly take The RAMS in regular season games.I usually watch it on delay.

 

[So Ram]

Just to ADD - ALL THE HATERS who don’t watch The GAMES & just look at STATS ! Please give The BROTHER a Chance.

recorded a special teams tackle in their 2025 season wild-card playoff game against the Carolina Panthers on January 10, 2026

BTW - that was a SERIOUSLY BIG TIME TACKLE !!! He showed speed & toughness.He layed out diving with a ankle tackle.

This YouTube poster wants to say J.Hunter is going to get beat out because of special teams ?? IMO he showed PROGRESS & DETERMINATION !! He’s NOT going to let some Poster tell him his upside & WHAT’S IN HIS HEAD!!

Can WE give him a Chance ?? Blake Corum took Ronnie Rivers spot.RIVERS though pushed Cam Akers off the roster ?? Him & Williams getting injured HURT in 2023.2024 Corum broke his wrist ??

I can be guessing , but stats don’t always tell the Whole Story.

You did see Hunter make a tackle on special teams. It was one hell of a tackle too. My son mentioned it and we talked about Hunter for a few right after that tackle. It was in the Carolina playoff game. Hunter was out there taking special teams snaps that game.

SO you see promise?? I think he deserves more respect from RAMS FANS !! Sometimes people write other people off to soon.

Example - if he got on The Field & Totally Sucked !! Then I’d agree in some ways ??

Noteboom was a Big Whit guy.He played in 10 games for Baltimore,but his career is basically over. —
Troy Reeder earned his spot.He just played hard,and was respected.He NEVER had Promise.
Tutu - was a team guy,but NEVER Fit !!
The TE position has promise & a “good mix for NOW & Future.Ferguson I’d say has a lot of UPSIDE!!
