The story of this young season thus far has been Stafford playing lights out. It is remarkable, given how much time he missed in camp. And he is the one advantage the Rams have over the other contenders, some of whom have better OL or better defenses. Like Philly for example. He's the wildcard in that equation so I hope they can keep him upright.

And if they call the holds that spring Hurts to pick up 1st downs. But I cant see the refs calling false starts and holding both, to the benefit of the Rams, in the same game.
A better way to describe this would be... "What QB has the ability to get the ball in the air the fastest". That cheating pos Tom Terrific was always given THE HIGHEST praise for getting rid of the ball faster than all the other QBs.
But Stafford... nope. They spin it to a complete negative by describing it as if this is "all the time he has to throw". That's complete bullshit.
The fuck outta here with that.
Oh... and hopefully you know that I'm not directing that at you OldSchool.
It would also suggest that McVay is designing quick developing routes for Stafford to protect him.
Stafford is smart enough to read the field and take the quick one if it's there.

Damn straight!
McSlay and Ram Nation are so fortunate... because 90% of NFL QBs simply do not have the ability to process everything even close to that fast even if the play is designed for it.
Let's run a laser beam down the line on these plays. Break the line before the snap, offsides. Lol
NFL: Officiate tush push 'tight' after missed call
The NFL said the Eagles should have been flagged for at least one false start when they used the tush push against the Chiefs on Sunday and instructed officials this week to call the controversial play "tight."www.espn.com
The NFL said the Philadelphia Eagles should have been flagged for at least one false start when they used the tush push against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and instructed officials this week to call the controversial play "tight" going forward.
The message from the league, which was first reported by The Washington Post and later confirmed by ESPN, came in its training tape to officials, which was distributed to all 32 teams Wednesday.
The NFL showed the Eagles running the QB sneak on third-and-short late in the fourth quarter for a first down in an eventual 20-17 win in Kansas City.
"Anytime we have this situation we're in short yardage, we know we want to make sure that we officiate these plays -- the offensive team has to be perfect in every aspect," NFL vice president of officiating training and development Ramon George said, according to the Post. "We want to officiate it tight. We want to be black and white and be as tight as we can be when we get into this situation where teams are in the bunch position and we have to officiate them being onsides, movement early.
"Prior to the snap, looks like we have movement by the right guard. We also have movement coming across from the defensive side. This is a very hard play to officiate. I get it."
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said after the game that the Eagles "might have had a couple [QB sneak plays] that they got off a little early on," putting further scrutiny on the play. Fox analyst Tom Brady also suggested during the broadcast that Eagles offensive linemen were getting off the line of scrimmage before the snap but weren't penalized.
Philadelphia ran the tush push six times Sunday, gaining four first downs and scoring a touchdown.
"I've heard a million different takes on this thing, and it's driving me nuts," Eagles center Cam Jurgens said Wednesday. "People saying I'm lining up offsides. I'm holding the ball. I can be on the ball. That doesn't make any sense to me.
"At the end of the day, we're not trying to worry about what other teams or people are saying. We're trying to worry about what we're doing in here. If the league wants to come down and say something and make an emphasis with the rules, we're going to take that into account. But it's the same thing going forward, playing Eagle football."
The play faced banishment this offseason, but the proposal failed by two votes. The final vote was 22-10 on the proposal, which was submitted by the Green Bay Packers, at the NFL's annual meeting in Eagan, Minnesota, in May. The proposal needed 24 votes to pass.
The Eagles have converted the play 96.6% of the time in fourth-and-1 scenarios since 2022.
Rams need another Rich Saul or Andy McCollum type to lead this O line.
Shelton isn't that guy.
The protect Stafford mantra has been an issue since we knew Whitworth was going to retire, then did. May be we will see McVay figure out a way with a bad oline to scheme wins. Go rams.
Steelers defense forgot how to play. Fuckin weird given how many seasons their coach has held it down. That the season they finally add a QB the defense fizzles.
But I suspect end of the year they'll be one of those teams nobody wants to play.

And it appears that the center if offside as he is moving himself ahead of the ball. That and false starts by the Oline makes this play impossible to stop.
