If Stafford sits do we do Simpson over Bennett? Or more likely Bennett starts with Simpson available in relief? Guess it all depends on how Ty has looked in practices.

Yeah - what do you really think ??

—LMFAO

Do you think The Rams aren’t going to sit Mattew Stafford with there record ??? I can give you the answer to all your questions.
 

So why did he have an ice pack on his elbow when he left the locker room on Sunday?

"You guys have been blind," Stafford said with a laugh and a smile. "I feel like I've been icing my arm every day out here walking around. That's on you guys. You all are the ones that are out there reporting that I have ice on my arm. Listen, I'm 38 years old trying to keep up with these young bucks. A little bit of soreness and stuff that is not uncommon this time of year. Again, I haven't missed a rep at practice. I haven't missed a rep in a game and I feel good. I'm not too worried about it."

4 pages of conjecture... pretty funny.

When I heard about the ice on his arm I immediately knew they were going to retrofit him with a bionic arm that will take years to program correctly.
The season's over.
Stafford's done until he's 40 or so.
Simpson is a flop wasted draft pick.
Bennett is back on the bottle.
Tutu Atwell as our 4th quarterback and starter against the commodes.
Tutu Atwell is known to get air sickness. We have no backup for Tutu at quarterback. So if he gets injured, CJ Daniels has to be our emergency quarterback.
And the Rams decided to make our defensive coordinator our offensive coordinator and vice versa.
I'm looking at a one-point commodes win here folks.

Makes senses. He’s been up & down….very inconsistent with passes. One great one and then a what-the-heck is that.

Not sure why we’re not running the ball more. Or even employing some jet sweeps, forward tosses (TE, RB) and such to ease his arm stress and keep defense honest.

Not true. "DMac"? I'll go with what Stafford said:

There are so many internet attention whores out there now. Geesh.
 
Honestly no matter the outcome of the season, probably Stafford's last. Next year he would be 39 and with the marathon of the NFL season why put your self through that? He has the money, ring, and resume. I mean this team looked great on paper, right?

The biggest thing that makes me question that is “thinking about surgery”… but he’s missed no time…

^^^^ This is one Rams podcaster pumping the tires of another Rams podcaster. No crime here, imo.

Here's the DMac quote at 2:20:

I've listened/watched DMac since he was back with the LockedOn network. I think he's sometimes somewhat entertaining, in a way, but absolutely not a source for insight, information or analysis. A quick look at PFR shows different information than the stats he states right after talking about the supposed injury and ignores the NYG game blowing up the numbers.

"maybe they were thinking about the idea of maybe having surgery"
So, like having concepts of a plan?

If Staff's elbow was really injured, hard to believe that McVay would call 100 pass attempts in the 2 games immediately following the supposed injury. Also, that 383 yards and 3 td's against Buffalo seem to suggest that any injury wasn't particularly limiting.

Edit: His sources said? Ha, yeah, sure, "sources" . . .
