Yes Beckham was 1 on 1 and it was underthrown, but why take that chance unnecessarily when you've moved the ball pretty well all game (all season even). Kupp is all but a first down from breaking a record that will likely stand for a long time, and you seemingly make no effort to get the ball to the QB's favourite target? McVay said the loss 'doesn't mean shit', and yet they threw away 2 places in the seeding, momentum and the chance for arguably their best player to get a huge record. For all the talent in the roster and coaching staff, the Rams do seem dysfunctional to me.

The Rams Tackles are too old and slow, Stafford will be Stafford as will Carr be too (reason didn’t want either).

A good read on Andrew Whitworth - his success as a tackle is pretty amazing.

The media was so dumb thinking Stafford would turn into Aaron Rodgers or something.. Honestly he's not that much better than Goff and they paid that much for him LMAO. What a disaster

Keep this in mind as we go after a QB this off-season.

That's a joke, right?

Stafford was top 10 in just about every category that matters. He made everyone else on that team better just because he was there.

For example:

Cooper Kupp
2020 - 124 targets, 974 yards, 3 TD
2021 - 191 targets, 1947 yards, 16 TD

Van Jefferson
2020 - 31 targets, 220 yards, 1 TD
2021 - 89 targets, 802 yards, 6 TD

Robert Woods also on pace to surpass 2020 stats when he went on IR.

I would have gladly taken Stafford - even for the price the Rams paid (two 1sts, a 3rd, and a QB). We probably couldn't get it done because we didn't have a QB that the Lions wanted (and he didn't want to come here...lol).
