Confirmed that the Niners were interested in Stafford and KS wasn't happy that the Rams got him.
Hilarious because on another board had a Niners fan swear the Niners weren't interested in him when I suggested their draft trade wasnt their first choice.
My concern with Staff isn't that he's an oft-hurt warrior that'll continue trying to grade it out and suffer.
It's that he does that, has done that and is getting older.
He might be out gutting for you and not on the report. But for how long? Brady's the unicorn here. Everyone else is more like Drew Brees at best.
If the plan only is to play him legit healthy and if he was, I'd think you'd have a threat there.
But we're talking some warrior-type like Brees. Broken back, don't care. Broken fingers and ribs, not a problem, don't even think I need the Toradol doc. But then you see the decline in performance.
We'll see. He's mostly played 16 games in his career, and the Rams have consistently been healthier than most teams. At some point that goes from luck to the training staff/coaches doing something right.
If you go back and look at all our games last year, IMO we win 10 games and a playoff game with Wolford last year - so we have a backup who we can a few with if Stafford does need to sit out a week or two.
