I hesitate to call a NFL OL soft. But Rodger is certainly fragile.

He came back and played, so I am assuming he passed whatever tests are administered when a player is first pulled out.
Lol this whole time I thought he was on the sideline, do you remember what quarter they brought him back in?
Maybe Saffold's next gig will be pitching Charmin toilet paper...
Compared to an average person he's a monster. In the league he's shown he cannot hold up to punishment of playing OL consistently. I just never thought he was that good to begin with. I think he's a hyped workout warrior to be honest. I've just never seen a guy crumpled up on the ground looking like he's dead and then 5 minutes later you see him jogging on the sideline. I've seen enough of him , it's been 7 years and he does the same thing every year. His big thing is he can line up anywhere, but he's not very good anywhere IMO.

Please.
If, a few months ago, Rodger expressed some concern about Case Keenum, everyone would have cheered his honesty.
He expresses a little skepticism about Goff's words, and now it's "cut his ass!"

I wouldn't doubt there is/was some sort of divide on the team between some of the newer guys and the old Fisher guys like Saffold/Quick, etc. Maybe there was some skepticism/animosity about the young #1 pick coming in and shaking things up? The pro-Fisher guys were probably content with underachieving, collecting a check and getting by to the next week. (Just like Fisher) I look forward to cutting all the players and coaches who will go on to be career losers/underachievers and creating some sort of winning culture here for once and for all. **Fingers crossed.

Nah it's cut him cause he's injury prone, not very good and paid a whole lotta money. The words on Goff just add fuel on top of the reasons to cut him.

Yeah, he gets nicked up, but he still played in 15 games this year.
He's also (probably) our best lineman, so I wouldn't cut him just yet.
That aside, I was addressing the sentiment that he should be cut simply because he made those comments.
And there were those sentiments.
When did he say he didn't think the team could win?
All he's saying (in effect) is, "Don't tell me ... show me."
I don't like him, I don't like his character, I don't like the fact that one minute he appears dead on a play and then 5 minutes later, is seen jogging around on the sideline. I don't like the fact that he appears to be smug. He's played 7 years for the rams, and yet still doesn't get "it".
For me it doesn't have anything to do with what he said about Goff. I'm of the opinion that he, along with the rest of his teammates, have more than enough of their own
to clean up before popping off about anybody else. Regardless of his mouth, it's his play that is the problem. We need better players. A lot of them. Saffold is too expensive, too fragile and not good enough to justify his roster spot IMO. If wants a back up role at back up money? Maybe...
