  1. Welp looks like a Seahawks Patriots Super Bowl.
  2. They didn't just kick the field goal? Wow
  3. I don't like Stafford but as I said playoff experience matters and the Rams have that in spades.
  4. No love for the Seahawks as a franchise but I must admit what Mike MacDonald has done there in such a short time is impressive.
  5. People wanted Jake out people wanted Cam out people wanted Teddy Bridgewater out people wanted Sam Darnold out people wanted Baker Mayfield out. It's always been this way. Every single one of the aforementioned QB's still had more physical talent than the guy we have now. Nobody with a functioning brain actually wanted to downgrade to the smallest starting QB in the league and trade our best WR to do it too.
  6. Darnold 11.6 yards per attempt. Certainly moving the ball well.
  7. I can understand that but you also have to acknowledge that under the Tepper's this team has prioritized marketability almost to a fault even sometimes over actual intangibles. I mean look at Xavier Legette. And the perception of BY's marketability from the viewpoint of the Tepper's was sky high. As far as the hype yeah that machine exists because of Alabama. Safe to say though after Tua Mac Jones and Bryce Young that tide has turned. You'll be hard pressed to see franchises considering hinging a #1 pick on an Alabama QB again. From here I just hope we don't drag this out any further. Bryce Young needs to lead this team to a playoff berth and a convincing playoff win if we are to even remotely consider a long term contract extension.
  8. Unfortunately this is where playoff experience becomes key and the Rams have a ton of that.
  9. The historical physical outlier thing was really perplexing then and is even moreso now. I don't want it to be true but with the way Tepper treated Newton on his way out the door the first time and how bitter that debacle became I think it was motivated in some way by a need to try and go in a direction from top to bottom the complete opposite of Cam Newton so that they could put him in the rearview. Now I know some people will say that sounds crazy but we know that Tepper is an extremely arrogant individual. Cam's shadow has and still does loom quite large. All along Tepper's been huffing his own farts thinking because he has been massively successful financially he could be successful running a football team. He wanted Bryce Young to be the polar opposite. No longer outspoken and outwardly confident and flashy. Instead mild mannered quiet humble and able to blend in with everyone else. He got what he wanted.
  10. Correct. He and his wife are insufferable. I'll root for Darnold before Stafford at this point. And that's saying something.
  11. Interception. That's about it. Maye is a likeable kid so I'm more indifferent to the Patriots now. I'm just glad not to see the combination of Sean Payton and the Broncos in another Super Bowl.
  12. Pretty rare that you're going to be in a playoff game where the score is 10-7 late in the fourth.
  13. History has shown time and time again you don't need the #1 pick to get your QB. The trade was all about Tepper's arrogance and needing to be in the news cycle.
