Watch he plays magnificently in LA 

I mean McVay is one of the best play callers around and he has one of the best WRs.  I wouldn’t be shocked if he wasn’t the ultimate trainwreck.  

we really don’t do offense. 

I mean Baker sucks.   But he might not be as bad some expect.

Kupp is still out with an injury and may get shut down for the rest of the season if they are out of playoff contention.

Baker extends the playbook, if you think about it.

"Third down punt" is a new play.

Instead of getting grounding calls by throwing it out of bounds from the pocket, just drill the DT in the knee cap with a pass.

I was going to think of a third play, but the first two were not funny, so I am bailing.

On Tuesday afternoon, word emerged of the Rams claiming quarterback Baker Mayfield on waivers. Linebacker Bobby Wagner met with reporters after it became clear that Mayfield would be playing for the Rams.

Wagner’s responses, or lack thereof, were intriguing.

What’s his reaction to the news?

“Anything to help the team,” Wagner said.

What does he know about Mayfield’s game?

“I played against him once or twice I believe,” Wagner said. “Like I said, anything to help the team.”

What has Wagner seen from Mayfield in his career?

“I’m not trying to talk about all that,” Wagner said. “Like I said, anything to help the team, so let’s move past that.”

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
