All Things Rams - Stafford Thread

He's gone, but still here.......

Kind of like Millen and Mayhew.

Or that mute, figure-skating quitter.

All Things Rams Focussing Mainly on Matthew Stafford, the Suckiest Suck to Ever Suck.

........ not enough room for the above to be the heading?

[dpatnod]

Rams / Stafford. Is it dagger time?

[Marko69]

I think if space was available, an appropriate thread heading should’ve been.

“The Detroit Lions who’ve tested people’s patience for 60 years, (10 years of that witn Mediocre side-arm Matt) who’s now at the Rams, a franchise we essentially couldn’t give two ounces of a flying fk about but let’s watch the cunt and comment on him anyway” thread.

......, but, 🤔, no room.

Robert Woods: Matthew Stafford is a great addition to our offense and our team

Since arriving in Los Angeles in 2017, Robert Woods has been one of the Rams’ most important and consistent offensive weapons.

He now has a new quarterback for his fifth season with L.A. after the team traded for Matthew Stafford. Woods said on Tuesday that it’s been nice getting to work with signal-caller through the offseason so far.

“Great touch, great quarterback, great addition to our offense and our team,” Woods said during his press conference.

Because Stafford had offseason thumb surgery, Woods wasn’t able to catch passes from Los Angeles’ new QB until last week. But they’re already establishing chemistry on the practice field, with Woods appreciating Stafford’s efforts to make the receivers comfortable.

“His throwing is on point. He’s able to deliver the ball very well,” Woods said. “And I think [from now] until the season, we’ll be connecting, throwing with him leading up to Game One. But him as a quarterback, he’s a vet quarterback, really honing in on picking up this offense very fast because we’ve all got plans. We need him to learn it and be ready to go right away. And really just I would say his attention to listen to receivers, wanting to still get better at his level and at his year is super big.”

Woods and Cooper Kupp lead a talented receiving corps that should have ever more success in 2021 if Stafford elevates Los Angeles’ offense as much as expected.

Robert Woods: We’re just loaded at the receiver position

The Rams’ offseason has largely centered around acquiring quarterback Matthew Stafford. But part of why Los Angeles has realistic aspirations for a deep playoff run is its strong receiving corps.

Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp lead the group. Both are entering their fifth seasons with the Rams, as Woods signed as a free agent in 2017 and Kupp was a third-round pick that year.

While the Rams lacked a proverbial deep threat last year, the club signed DeSean Jackson in free agency in March.

How Will Jackson affect Woods’ role?

“I don’t think it affects me,” Woods said Tuesday, via Greg Beacham of the Associated Press. “I think it affects the defenses this year. We’re going to be coming at them with a lot of speed, a lot of weapons. We’re just loaded at the receiver position.”

Los Angeles has also drafted Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell in the second round in each of the last two years. If Stafford plays as well as expected, Woods and Kupp could be joined by another wideout or tight end Tyler Higbee in eclipsing 1,000 yards receiving in 2021.

The trick is going to be giving Stafford enough time to his those targets. There's only so much about QB hits that you can blame on Goff's indicisiveness in the pocket.

lol

well player sir

It's going to be fun to watch the Rams house of cards totally collapse with injuries. I think we will be looking at a really nice pick from them this year. Stafford has been brittle for years now and he's not getting younger. Hell, look at the DE he has to deal with in his own division. Bosa will be back healthy. Watt is in AZ now.

He's going to get destroyed this year. People really fail to understand just how tough Goff is. I think it's very unlikely Stafford makes it through the whole season.

Big diff with Millen is they really didn't have weaponz, fans thought and still argue today if w player is drafted in the first round that they are automatically weapons.

You could take that quote, swap Matt Millen with Andy Reid, and describe the current Chiefs.

Like it or not (and a lot of stodgy old men don't) the league is changing.

Chiefs don't have a single 1st Rd pick on weaponz - anywhere on their roster save QB that they ponied up - and they were a 10 win team when they drafted Mahomes.....
Question has always been - where do you get those weaponz.
1st Rd picks don't grow on trees.
