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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Murray looks so bad.

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.

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

That was the same play Wentz had. Lol

 

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.

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

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

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

    • I agree Bradley needs to go and take Ballard with him. Defense plays soft on passing downs on opponents side.  On 2nd and 10 and you play soft, and first down made from the other team, no aggressive approach from the defense and no blitzes, this is frustrating.
    • I say we give Mallory the keys and dont look back…. Good or bad 
    • I’m not saying anyone is infallible.  Far from it.   But as I shared with another poster tonight, I never think I’m smarter than a GM, or HC or coordinator or even a position coach.  Even ones I don’t like.      If you want to believe the word of someone on a podcast, go right ahead.   I think it’s a bad, bad look.   But hey, you’re certainly not the only one here who does that.    But certainly not me.    Good luck with that.  
    • That was great throw. It came in clean and Mitchell had both hands on it before the db knocked it out. This is the nfl, you have to SECURE, CATCH, and HOLD ONTO THAT BALL. You have to fight for every ball in the nfl(unless you are playing the Colts and you get to waltz through the secondary in front of lb's and db's for uncontested 15 yard gains). The one game Pittman missed Mitchell had 7 catches so he just needs to be more consistent. I still think he is a rare talent. But, remember also, we need Richardson to improve also and get our offensive line intact. 6-7 is pretty good, all things considered(including Bradley being the dc).
    • Because I have eyes and I can see what our defense is doing, I can see what instructions he's giving, where they are lined up, how many are rushing, how many are deep, etc. and I can make an informed deduction about what's happening. And in this case Tice is absolutely correct and what he saw was what I saw too and it looked exactly like what he describes - Gus Bradley had no idea they were trying to get into long FG range. He was only thinking about the Hail Mary.    I have no idea why you always give the benefit of the doubt to everybody in this organization despite what you can actually see with your own two eyes.   Of course Steichen won't say anything mid-season about his DC. Hell, even if he fires him after the season he still won't say anything overly negative, because this is the business and it's bad for business to burn bridges and flame people with reputation and long time careers in the league.   You can still watch what happens and make a conclusion for yourself. I promise you, the world won't end if you don't take the word of the GM, HC or the DC as gospel. As amazing as you think they are, they are not the chosen, infallible ones.
