I don't even know where it is!

I swear there were people throwing ropes over high beams and dousing themselves in gas in the GDT in the first half.
On the bar at top of page by the pickem tab. We a some regullars and it is definitely more upbeat and enjoyable than the gameday thread.

Embellish? Hardly. Plenty of examples of teams that have fucked up their transitions and gone into long periods of mediocrity.

Fuck, the Rams are one of them.
Are you suggesting we are in the actual midst of fucking up our transition, triggering a decade long collapse akin to this

I'm suggesting maintaining a good NFL team through a period of leadership transition is a tight rope walk with no safety net.

It is glaringly obvious the Rams are approaching a transition phase. What's not obvious is how well or how poorly that will be handled.

Drafting a possible QB of the future and letting him learn the NFL game behind one of the best to ever play the position is a good start. Nothing is guaranteed, but short of trading a lot of picks for a known commodity which would have prevented giving up the draft picks the team used to get Garrett. We wont know how the transition will go until that day gets here, until then all we can do is have faith in McVay and Snead or complain about shit that hasnt happened.

Dude. We are not entering a leadership transition. Relax. I can vouch for your paranoia. But I disagree with your tone.
 
It really cracks me up with all the negativity with Matthew. Name one other QB other than Allen you would rather have than Matthew. I wouldn’t trade for any of them. He is bar far the best QB the RAMS have ever had.

All Rams fans appreciate immensely what Stafford did for the team.

That doesn't erase the fact he's still a mortal man whose time in the league is coming to an end.

That's the thing - I'm not sure I'd want anyone else...while at the same time I really think he's holding the Rams back this year so far.
I hope Stafford gets it together soon.

Mahomes and Burrow. Easily at this point.

All Rams penalties for today : 10 for 70 yards.
Pre snaps and the offsides calls really stopped a couple of drives for us or helped to extend them for the Commandos.
Can't do that, especially when you aren't playing all that well anyways.
Feels like we’ve started in more 1st and 15s this year than the previous 3 years combined.
 
Maybe not a better QB, but I believe that the offense could be more effective.

Why? I believe that McVay would call a better game and they would use the running game more instead of relying upon his arm.

43 passing attempts today? Ridiculous.

And if a passing play is not there, a QB that could do something with his legs could be HUGE.
So it's more McVay problem than Stafford then?
