Let's go with what we know. JG knows the playbook, knows the players, is an experienced vet, and has been a winner.



Yes that's the number one role for a backup. JG like him or not, knows the playbook and is ready to go..

Hard no on bringing in anyone to replace JG at this point.

Even if Stafford goes down, I say we ride JG this year.



At this point in the preseason, what other choice could there be? Panicking isn't a viable option, although of course some commentators and fans will likely call for it.

We have to hope that, after practicing as our team's #1 QB for a full offseason and preseason, Jimmy Garoppolo can at least function as a competent 'game manager' performer.

If Stafford can't begin to practice fully by next week, I would recommend the Rams placing him on the Injured Reserve list and committing to opening the season with Garoppolo as their starting QB. What the team *doesn't* need is QB uncertainty on a week-to-week basis, thus I would leave Stafford on the 'IR' list until he's clearly ready to play effectively.

Obviously, this is 'Plan B' in respone to Stafford's medical issues... :? :shock: :geek:

RAM SEASON!!

I know a ton of us are somewhat tired of Sean's blabbing after games about how this and that should be this and that ... but I did however find his words just a bit ago here... a step in the right direction...

“It’s why I said what I did to you guys yesterday is because I feel a tremendous responsibility to do a good job of trying to put our players in positions to have successful outcomes,” he said. “When I don’t think I've done that or when I think I've can do better or we can do better, it chaps me to no end. I promise you this, I'm going to work my ass off to make sure that I continue to be better for this group. Those are the expectations that I know that everybody in our building will have. This is going to galvanize us. I promise you that.”


More bullshit coach speak. I'll believe it when I see it.

The whole issue with Forbes is consistent effort!!!
He doesn’t give it. Makes one nice play and then takes half the game off thinking he is THE MAN…

I hope this has opened the eyes of both Srafford, and Mcvay. Puka does not need 15 targets a game. If they continue to spread the ball around like they did today, it could be an unstoppable offense.

July 16th, 2025, 8:17 am Re: Trey Hendrickson July 16th, 2025, 8:17 am Re: Trey Hendrickson

Could he become a Ram? He's not happy with his contract in Cincy and he shouldn't demand a lot of compensation. Maybe we can get him for a 3rd and a 6th. He wants is a long term contract. I think this would be a good pickup if we were able to get a deal done. Him playing across from Verse would be sick.


Not sure where you are getting "he shouldn't demand a lot of compensation". He'd fetch a 1st rounder and maybe more. Also, he's 30 and looking for one more big payday.

I'd revisit a lot of these names being thrown around but only if we are making a strong run at the Super Bowl. I'd like to do a 2025 version of Von Miller and OBJ and hopefully get the same results.

September 9th, 2025, 9:13 am Re: Sean McVay Appreciation Thread September 9th, 2025, 9:13 am Re: Sean McVay Appreciation Thread


Think about that. If you trust your defense to prevent a TD, then what does it matter whether they start from the 40 or from the 10 with tons of time still left on the clock. You only punt deep like that when there’s so little time left that it makes it’s it near impossible to drive the length of the field. Or if the chances of a made FG are extremely low. A kicker should be able to make a 57 yard FG indoors. There was also tons of time left in fact the Texans got 2 more possessions. And it took a forced fumble on the Rams 18 to secure the game.

Playing field position and not trusting your drafted kicker to take a lead from 5 to 8 was anti-winning. Flat out. It was stupid.

Dont say the Rams have the best OC/HC in the league when they score 14 points and the HC makes decisions that make it harder to win.


You are arguing against success. He didn't do things the way YOU thought he should, he did it his way and we won.

The 2 interceptions changed the game. Without those ints, the Rams would have been up at least 28-10 at halftime. That probably would have taken Carolina out of their run first game plan. Also, I kept waiting for a Bryce Young turnover that never happened. The dude plays like one good game out of every 5 and it had to be against the Rams.

December 18th, 2025, 9:20 pm Re: Rams @ Seahawks LIVE Game Thread December 18th, 2025, 9:20 pm Re: Rams @ Seahawks LIVE Game Thread
Let’s get real. It was AD that won us the superbowl he alone closed out every game that year during the playoffs. Since that time, there has been no real leaders on defense.

With our special teams we have then the ball at their own 35 every single series. That is coaching, you either find a way to use the rules to your advantage and teach/coach players how to execute the kicks or you find players who can. Every other team in the NFL does it. If you can’t, then as a coach, you don’t belong in the NFL.

I made this video from the last two Rams plays in OT. A few observations:
1.) On the pass to Williams, if the ball was slightly in front, he easily gets the first down.
2.) On the 4th and 1 run, I am shocked at what a poorly designed play it was. The Rams had TWO wide receivers and a TE blocking to that side. Warren McClendon gets buried, Davis Allen gets pushed back.
3.) Even with this, if Williams had any bulk, he would have gotten the first down.

Stunned that McVay would call this play without adding some bulk to that side.

I'm not up to date on my acronyms... I just figured out what JMO meant.

But hey you know what they say about a good conspiracy theory is that it's an unprovable one.... So you get bonus points.


And you wonder why you're having a tough time getting accepted???
You seem to be jealous of a guy who is one of the most popular members like delly who's known for being upbeat, to the point when he needs to, loves a good laugh or prank and keeps activity flowing in here almost as much as Glendora does..
I won't ever advocate for you or anyone else to be banned but you're making it hard for anyone to argue for you.
Let me tell you about Our beloved and very well respected and appreciated Owner and Moderator, Upland/Glendora/Gary!
He's like me, he doesn't like to silence people either but he has members to consider and he listens to the majority.
They just got 52 banned because the majority wanted him gone and no one spoke up for him...
He's warning you that that is what's transpiring here IMO and you need to open your eyes to that.
Whatever it is that you have against older men or popular people, is not gonna work here.
Not saying you should kiss anyones ass, but check at the door whatever pickle is up your ass and just be a Ram fan!
Up to you, just a little advice from someone who's been at it with you a time or 2 but still has hope for the best going forward... :wink:

I’ll be a buzzkill I dont want any of them. In regards to Wills:

“ In fact, Wills has gotten considerably worse since his first two NFL campaigns, seeing a decrease in pass-blocking efficiency, penalties committed, and run-block grades.”

“Compounding the issue of poor advanced metrics and suffering season-ending injuries in 2023 and 2024 was Wills' on-field effort. His body language was routinely awful as he allowed defenders blow by him, erasing any goodwill that coaches might've had if he was playing through the whistle and just struggling with performance.”

“ Coaches can forgive a lot, including illegal off-field transgressions, but bad effort and football character is a death knell to a career.”

“Wills made the shocking statement that he made a "business decision" in November when he decided to sit out a game with a knee injury. He was benched for that and never returned to the field for Cleveland.”

There is a reason why he is still unemployed…………..

Williams from the start didn't fit the Rams philosophy of We not Me. That's how I see it. All Ego right there. He was gonna get paid, what matter does it make in this case if he started at LG for what amounted to a couple of seasons? So, the 9ers got him and is one way mind. Fine by me.

Rams need a new DC for 2026, might as well put that out there now. Shula will be gone.


That’s my fear! Why can’t Shula just want to stay as a DC for his career hahaha and then take over for Mcvay when he decides to be done!!


Someone needs to show Shula what happened to Staley when he made the jump... :)

And...

Stay w Rams, Win Chips w the Rams, Have a good life w Rams, ... OR go to Cleveland, take the HC spot and feel like you want to slit your wrist (the long way) everyday you wake up there.

I don’t think he’ll leave yet. Definitely not in 2026. He and McVay have had much more of a partnership than McVay has had with anyone else. He stuck around in less visible positions since 2017, and I see him riding out a young team with long-term potential. Plus, some coaches, like Spags, are at their best on either the defensive or offensive side, not both.


Miami opening has to be enticing though if it comes up... heading back to the perfect season team his granddaddy Don put together... hmmm. BUT, I hope you're right.. I just dont see the current Miami coach making it another season, McDaniels is one weird dude that has been figured out, but we shall see...


Nobody wants to have TUA as their QB . I doubt shula goes there

Saw on Facebook where he died recently. Started at LT for the Rams from 1963-1968. He was a good OL but considered the “weak link” in an offensive line with Charlie Cowan, Tom Mack, Ken Iman, and Joe Scibelli. He was part of the trade that brought Bob Brown to the Rams from the Eagles before the 1969 season.

He was a part of the Rams of my youth. Fare thee well, Joe, and thank you for your contributions to some good Rams teams.

December 19th, 2025, 7:42 pm Re: Are The Officials Really Stupid or Corrupt? December 19th, 2025, 7:42 pm Re: Are The Officials Really Stupid or Corrupt?

Yeah Jack, please do explain the reasoning you have for exonerating Special Teams from last night disaster? I get the McVay won't fire thing but it's still the players that go out there.
Look at Evans for example. He punted for times for a paltry 38.8 yard Average, his ST mates let 1 of his short punts get returned for a TD, he was 8 for 8 on TB's to the 35 on his KO's and was the holder for the missed late FG.
Whether He punted or KO'd, the Hags got the ball at least on their own 35 all 12 kicks but 1.
Even on a 13th kick, the missed FG by Mevis, Hags got it on their own 38.


1. Defense went soft in 3rd? It was palpable. Not ST.
2. TE dropped how many passes through out game. Not refs
3. 3rd and 4th Qu offensive game plan dropped off the map, 3 and out. Over and over again. Not refs not ST.
4. What the fuck happened to Ethan Evans? His punts put Seattle into play over and over. The guy is usually nails. Not refs. Weather?

All I am saying you are only biting at the edges blaming ST and or Refs. This was a melt down that does not happen to teams going to SB. We will lose in first round of wild card to who ever we play. SUPER BOWL TEAMS DONT LOSE GAMES LIKE THIS OR IN THIS MANNER.

The only scenario the Bengals trade Burrow is if it's a repeat of the Stafford trade. 33-34 years old, team going nowhere, and they need to clean house.

Stop with the "Rams are stockpiling picks to trade for Joe Burrow".

Bottom line. 32 teams passed on Chris Paul in the draft until the Rams took him in the 5th round. After he was cut all 32 teams passed on him in the waiver wire. The Seahawks signed him to their practice squad after claiming a 49 ers LB off waivers. The Rams didn’t offer him a practice squad spot. Maybe it’s not Troy Reeder after all. Maybe Rams fans sentiments towards Paul didn’t match what the Rams organization felt about him as they did sign a LB Neal to the practice squad over him. Maybe he was lower on the depth chart that was speculated.

September 8th, 2025, 10:56 am Re: Sean McVay Appreciation Thread September 8th, 2025, 10:56 am Re: Sean McVay Appreciation Thread
He had a few head scratchers yesterday but they all do. Like the play calls after the first INT. But his are so far less than most of the HC in the league. Maybe all.

There is a video I saw of his 3 play calls leading up to the 3rd n 8 pass to Nacua. Just brilliant……….

He knows his players year n and year out better than anyone in the league. And players will go through a wall for him. A lot to say about that……………
