Tutu over Creed: get over it.

He was drafted as a WR, not a KR/PR. We’ll see if he finds a role on the offense.

I still have hope. His college tape is impressive.
Nothing to get over. .
I pronounce it a mistake and have moved on until someone tries to guilt me over my take, which you tried to do. Like I said, I protest the decision more than Tutu himself, because it's not his fault he was overdrafted.

At least we’re all HOPING he’ll succeed, right?

I mean, I’d hate to think some are more interested in being able to say “called it” than they are in seeing a Ram draftee thrive.

That’s not how anyone feels, right?

Right?

LOL. You yell “Creed” more than Rocky did while training to fight Apollo (including bringing him up here).

We won the Super Bowl without contributions from Creed or Tutu. Hopefully the latter will help us return.

It’s not exactly that. Even if Creed was off the board very few people believe Tutu was even close to BPA at a position of need. There were so many other directions that they could have gone.

When I read that the Rams were at Louisville meeting with Tutu in the weeks before the draft I thought maybe as a fifth or sixth round flyer, but I even felt that was too high for his size. I couldn’t believe it when his name was called.

He's bigger than Jojo Natson. Jojo is going on year 6 if he can get a job. He's been injured but I think I only saw the one hand injury that was related to being hit. He pulled a hamstring and tore an ACL. None of that's from being too small. 3 career fumbles.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but Tutu had the opportunity and Creed never did.
He WAS the best center in pro football for a contending team in 2021, playing on a rookie contract...while we hope that Brian Allen can keep getting better to reach the starting point in which Creed entered the NFL last year.

Injuries to the WR room went down to the wire last year. With Woods gone, we need all the WR to bring their game and expect playing time. I want all our current Rams to succeed, and I mean all of them.

The Rams made so many good choices that enabled them to win a championship. While I’m sure you would acknowledge this, you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time lamenting one of the few apparent missteps.

Just sayin’

Maybe Tutu should just take the 4 game suspension for PEDs…

Hoping he has a hell of an off-season and gets his body right. Looks like more of a guy who will make the leap in year 3

Personally, I would’ve taken Nick Bolton and Jaelon Darden with our picks, but we won the Super Bowl with Allen, with Ernest Jones. It’s silly to argue about who would’ve been better.

Obviously McVay had a plan for using this guy when they drafted him. So let's hope he can stay healthy and get some use out of him. That being said, there are no expectations anymore.

Of course we're all rooting for Tutu, He's a Ram!! I'm honestly just concerned for his safety, the times he's been on the field and gets the ball, he gets hit pretty hard!! He just looks so small compared to the guys on defense that are coming after him. I think my biggest concern for him is fumbling. The only confusion I had when we drafted him was if we couldn't make the Tavon Austin pick work, how we gonna make Tutu work?? One last thing..... CLOWNS!!?? Who's he callin CLOWNS!!?? I Don't think firing off insults to Ram fans was the smartest idea!! Hahaha!! Good luck this year Tutu....We got your back.

We'll see if Liam can get him going. Turn him loose on crossing patterns from some trips. Will be interesting to see what he does in preseason like last year. Maybe if he shows effort like McVay says he can sneak into the O this coming year.

Hope he silences his critics and flourishes. Would be amazing for us to have that kind of depth with our WRs

I still have hope for him. Maybe he’ll make it, maybe not.

What isn’t “maybe” is that he’s a human being who doesn’t deserve constant ridicule.

And some people think I'm just a big meanie for my criticism when all I've been doing is helping him by giving him more motivation. Your welcome tutu. At least someone appreciates my effort.

As loyal pointed out, my main criticism stems from him being a 2nd round pick when the Rams had no 1st rounder. Had he been drafted in the 4th or with a Second 3rd rounder I'd have no issue with the pick

2nd round picks should be contributing their rookie season with an increase in production their 2nd year. I know he was hurt but that potential to get hurt for his size is why I didn't think he'd do much last year and now with players we currently have I don't see him getting enough chances to do much this year.

I may have been a little rough on him and that's while I'm looking at it through a GM view. It's not personal. If I look at it through my fan goggles I'd be more patient.
