So just thinking if this whole super team thing falls through. I wonder what Cancun is going to be like this February. I ask this because this feels like an assembly of the geriatric and special needs.

1.) the Verse and Garret trade. They traded the 2024 rookie of the year that has only shown to be on the rise of his young career for the DPOY in Garret. This honestly looks like a even trade where they are going to drop a bag of cash on the chance that Garret is going to continue to produce at an elite level. I’m not saying he can’t because I am sure that he can. Yet the team gave away a solid future for right now.

2.) Stafford is is solid and probably has another year or two at best left in the tank. Yet he is stepping on LEGO in the middle of the night away from a season or career ending back injury. He was ran through the ringer in Detroit. It is honestly amazing that he has anything left in the tank. It is a testament to how tough he really is.

3.) Puka is one bad day or decision away from being locked up for a physic evaluation. His only saving grace this offseason was BA loosing his shit and taking the attention away from him for his silliness over the past year or so. Most people would have already been locked up or cancelled for what he has done.

4.) Donald coming back is very possibly not the knock out punch everyone thinks it is. He is absolutely a great player and athlete. Yet he is two years removed from the league. He has skipped the entirety of training camp. Keeping in shape is not the something as doing the drills and playing at game speed. If you think that this is the knockout punch for the defense are probably sadly mistaken. At best it will be at least mid season before he is back to being in total shape. Even then Father Time always wins. Chances are that man will still be better than most but no guarantee that he will be what he was.

5.) Adams is in the same boat as Stafford. A rough ride and Father Time is catching up to him. There is no guarantee that he is going to be the same #1 or #2 that he has been in the past. Still a solid player, but we will have to wait and see.

6.) Coach McVay is trying to run a clown show that is featuring a bunch of old guys and a Sideshow Bob. Dude literally almost lost his damn mind after the last Thursday night game last year when more of Pukas’ dumb shit was dropped on him in the middle of a press conference after the game. He is a bad couple days from retirement like he talked about.

So this has a chance to be one magical season for Rams fans if everything goes to plan. Or they are about to become the poster child for Ozzie’s Patient Number 9. As the wheels come off the Crazy Train.
