The Rams are gearing up for another run at the Super Bowl. Some more power on defense would certainly help.
Stafford played well last year and I'm sure he'd like another ring, but he's aging ...so this year could be last.
Got a tip for us?

Doesn't look like any of the teams want him as a player, certainly not as a starter anyway, and there's no point in continuing to make his career as a player end on an ever more pathetic note

Honestly, I thought the Eagles should've considered trading Jalen Hurts and keep Brown. It's Hurts' limitations as a passer that has made the Eagles' offense more and more predictable the past season or two. His limitations were apparent in college and it seems he hasn't made great strides in expanding the amount of throws he can or is willing to make, despite having above-average arm strength. That's the danger in having an entire offensive system completely built around your strengths, and more importantly, your weaknesses -- you may not ever be forced to grow your game.
Realistically, who would they get to replace him? Like it or not, he's probably their best bet to win
Plus that would be rather painful cap wise, I assume.

The Rams are going for it. Now or never.
I don't root for them, but I admire the boldness from the front office, which has a plan, even if their QB of the future has lots of question marks.
But if Stafford can manage to not get hurt, they have as good a chance as anyone. They have to be the favorites now, at least on paper.
Hurts was deconstructed a couple months ago.

i love the way the rams are going after it.. wish my Raiders could figure it all out but it is looking promising, i really love that lot of vets showed up at OTA's and are putting in the work.. but seems we are always hyped and they let down but maybe this year it'll be different with Cousins
I think the biggest difference is that the Rams have a solid foundation. One can make the argument that they are only one player away, where as the raiders are not even at square one

you're right about the Rams having a solid foundation, something all teams want and try for. But unlike the Rams, the Raiders attempts to do the same have failed.
What is that the Rams are doing that the Raiders don't do? Is it a matter of having a scouting staff that's better at spotting and acquiring successful players? Or is it just luck?

The Rams have a legitimate owner/owners(?) who understand(s) the game and how to build a successful team.
The RAIDERS do not.

As do I but differently, I guess.
It means a lot to me and when I see the log and that helmet it takes me back to the
Pride and Poise days... not this stupid "commitment to excellence" b*llsh*t.
