No that isn’t why. He didn’t think Stafford would get them over the hump to a SB.

Kevin’s words were there was no way in hell he was going to sign off on Stafford.

I dont know who this kevin guy is but if its just another media head he may just be saying things. Either way thats confusing to me because if he is willing to sign off on Wentz why wouldn't he sign off on Stafford. Mostly anybody 99% of people who know anything about football would have last year and still would today say that Stafford is far superior to Wentz. 

[smittywerb]

Not sure why they haven’t started getting the ball out of kyler hands faster.  Long developing plays and runs aren’t going to cut it.  Sounds familiar.

I trust what he says. Yes if you could get Stafford for a 4th of  course you take that risk. But Ballard didn’t think he was the guy that would get them where they needed to go. Don’t ask me why he thought that because I don’t know. Ballard then said Wentz was a easy decision because his history with Reich and he said he has also done enough scouting on him in 2016.

Kevin is local media, does the morning show here. Stafford is better than Wentz but Reich wanted Wentz.

Ballard also said it was easier for him to make that decision too because of all the scouting on him he had done in 2016 when he was in KC.

I dont know the story I heard was we were in it. One of the last teams it was coming down to, Staffords wife was looking at houses in the Indy area, thats from her mouth. Then the Rams came off the top rope with their ridiculous offer and we pulled out because it was to expensive. Regardless of what happened. We should have got Stafford no matter the price, thats just my opinion though.

If we keep Wentz he has a lot to prove now. I still think he isn't a bad QB but not sure he is the guy that can get us to where we need to go. Luckily Tennessee has the same problem because the ultimate goal is to win a SB. Winning 12 or 13 games is great but if you lose in the playoffs that is all people remember. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Murray looks so bad.

Yikes Cardinals 

[Nesjan3]

Kyler pulled a Wentz!

I agree, pay the price. We didn’t and now we’re paying for it.

[Tsarquise]

Was that Carson Wentz? 

 

Horrible. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Damn, 21-0 Rams. All of these games have been blowouts other than the Cowboys/49ers game.

[Indyfan4life]

Good lord. 

[RollerColt]

Sheesh, in that situation you just take the safety. I agree with Peyton on that one. That was very bad. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was the same play Wentz had. Lol

[RollerColt]

Looks like the Rams defense and special teams has finally gelled.

Bengals raiders went down to the last play.

[Dunk]

So who do people from St. Louis root for in this game? Both of these teams played there, and neither one changed their mascot name when they moved.

True, others have been boring other than the Dallas game.

[RollerColt]

Intercepted, then not intercepted. What a weird game.

Wow, I didn't know the Cardinals used to be in St. Louis

[2006Coltsbestever]

Wentz is better than Murray, we even beat them.

[RollerColt]

My God, the Cardinals are in the exact same situation as the last series and they're still trying to go downfield. Run the ball and flip the field position, Kliff!

[RollerColt]

Shotgun formation in the endzone does not seem like a good idea against this defensive line.

If you aren't kidding about not knowing they moved to Arizona in the late 80's

[IinD]

Murray looks like he's got a low football IQ (jmo). Fantastic athlete obviously.

 

He'll be screwed when he physically slows down a bit.

Yeah the St. Louis Cardinals used to play in the NFC East back in the 70's and 80's with Dallas, Philly, Washington, and NY.

[Nesjan3]

Another fun fact not many people know. Cardinals are the oldest Franchise in the NFL. Starting as the Chicago Cardinals. St Louis, Arizona

So much for the Kingsbury experiment.  I’ll take the classic drop back QB on an NFL team every time.  Let the college’s have these small scrambling QB’s.  No thank you.  

[Gramz]

I missed the entire first half 

 

Another Wildcard blowout?

I have totally changed my mind n this. I agree with you. Even burrow is a classic pocket passer.

21-0 Rams at the Half - here is Cards fan.

Yep, at end of Titans game, pick six. Even if the coach calls pass, use your common sense to not hold the ball too long. Playoff games are lost before they are won. Tom Brady got it in year 1. Even Peyton tried playing hero for a while against good Ds and took sacks by the 1 yard line vs the Steelers, remember?

He looked a lot better when he had Hopkins to throw to. That guy can catch anything remotely close to him.

[Gramz]

So looks like LA at Tampa?

 

I like that.

Yep, look at the top QB's of all-time in the league = Brady, Montana, Peyton, Unitas, Elway, even throw Graham in there from the 40's/50's, and even Rodgers now. What do all of them in common? All drop back pocket passers. Elway had the most mobility out of all of them but he was still a pocket passer. That is all Marino was as well

Other than a couple Warner years they've always been a 'fugazi' franchise. Regardless of what their records was during a particular season.

 

They've definitely suffered though so I feel for them.. Lol
