Wow,Josh Norman is over there

Still getting toasted and unfortunately SF won which makes them 4-5 but not too worried about them they aren't that good

Stafford has two INTs (one a pick six) in the 1st quarter and the Rams trail 14-0. 

Rhule did say Darnold reminded them of Matt Stafford...

I have an attitude toward Matt Stafford ever since he let it be known he did not want to come to the Panthers.

Jimmy G threw some nice balls last night.

As lauded as Stafford has been, he’s 1-2 against good teams this year while just getting waxed by SF and he’s played poorly in all 3 losses. The one win was against the Tampa team that just lost to WFT but since it was Brady people put Stafford on a pedestal.

I think it's more that it was the defending SB champs who had a great D on paper. Bucs D has turned out to actually suck this year as offenses figured them out and with some injuries but at the time of that game, the Rams more or less crushing them was pretty significant.

 

Haven't watched the Rams or Stafford that much this year so can't speak to their losses or how he's played, but in general watching Stafford with the Lions I think he's definitely a legit 2nd tier franchise QB. He carried that Lions team for a decade with literally nothing around him on either side of the ball except Calvin Johnson for part of it. The Rams have depth issues throughout their team. Not surprising when they trade all their draft picks for big names and not all of them meet expectations. Stafford should have them contending more seriously than Goff did but he was never going to solve all their problems. People heap praise on the Rams for their aggressiveness and adding all these big names but I've never been sold on that strategy. Having quality starters and depth pieces on rookie deals is absolutely critical to building a successful team in the salary cap era. They don't really have that, and while McVay is a good coach he can only do so much with a handful of superstars and nothing behind them.

it did look like he was just jogging until he saw the ball was gonna be intercepted, but I couldn't really tell for sure if it was quitting on the route or if the ball went very far from where he expected

Yeah, looked like he headed to the sideline expecting it to be thrown there, then starting jogging trying to figure out where the ball was actually going. Think they just weren't on the same page on that one.

Lol this should make some Panthers fans happy

McVay is one of the most overrated coaches I can remember. With the rosters they have had its been consistent under achieving.

I LOVE Kittle's aggression. He goes seeking that contact. Very similar to Tremble's approach to blocking, and hopefully Tremble can continue to grow & improve. This stuff is
