The Watkins trade was in mid August. If he doesn't know 'his' offense yet, you can easily see why the 4th year player was traded. Honestly, I 'm not pro or con, I don't care.

A simple "Oh, I was wrong" would suffice. No need to dig deeper. You didn't know....it's ok.

Asked if he was frustrated with the offense and needed a change of scenery, Benjamin responded, "Oh definitely. "I thought about it," he said. "At first, when [the trade] first hit me, I was like, 'Ah.' Because that's all you know. I got drafted there."

Wait, wait, wait, wait....... so he felt like he needed a change of scenery? I don't know about taking it well if he means exactly as he says in that question. Unless he didn't quite understand the question, he straight up agreed that he was frustrated with our offence and felt like he needed a change of scenery. Now given he has taken things better than some of the other guys that have left here  but still I wonder what the case here is.

Statements like this show how low fans football IQ really is.

Watkins has more than 20 yards in like 2 games this season. Dudes a non factor 

That's not true.  He has 20 or less in three games.  He has 19 receptions (fourth on the team) but more importantly he is the best deep threat with a 17 plus ypc on a team that runs more than it passes and spreads the ball around a lot when it does pass with 5 receivers having double digit receptions and 11 having at least one reception.

I was being snarky in response to your really dumb statement about learning 'his' offense. Then you go and make another dumb, this time attacking, statement. smh

My statement still stands. Maybe be less snarky and learn more football. The Rams system is quite complex.

I respect KB for how rational he is about all this. Honestly it kind of makes me feel bad because some of our fans were pretty ruthless in their criticisms of him, especially when his mom passed around that time during training camp when the ignorance here was running rampant.

Best of luck Kelvin.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
