But seriously, no, in life, if you intend to STAY married for LIFE, like Kurt Warner and Matthew Stafford do, you LISTEN to your Wife.

If you're looking for an "out," like Tom Brady was, you DONT listen to your Wife.

IMO Stafford isn’t going to retire, unless Kelly forces the issue. He wants to play. And if he was even considering it or was going to, why are we going week to week with him, he would be shut down already if this was a topic of conversation between Stafford and Rams. You know the Rams would say ok staff, if you’re really considering retirement let’s shut you down now and maybe you’d reconsider for next year. But it’s a week to week thing. And Stafford doesn’t have a concussion now, maybe a neck thing. But IMO opinion and I truly feel he will return, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s this season too. Not that I agree with it. I’d shut him down retirement talk or not though

this is a game changer if he chooses to retire.

So then the question becomes (assuming he retires) do we trade away those big contracts? AD, Ramsey, Kupp, Floyd??

Sorry. I prefer a credible new source with link rather than spit balling off of the tone of McVay’s news conference.

JR and Floyd for sure. If Stafford retires how far behind is AD??? Kupp stays IMO

We have 2 ways we can play this, IF Stafford retires.

1. (The way I would play it, but management wont) Trade EVERYONE who will bring back equal value. Donald, Kupp, Ramsey, anyone else. The condition being a new GM AND HC are brought in to rebuild the Franchise in their image.

2. Bridge Quarterback (most likely play) with the condition that no more future HIGH Draft Picks are traded (Yeah, RIGHT)

These bridges could include
Jimmy Garoppolo
Derek Carr
Jared Goff
Carson Wentz
Geno Smith and the like.

Disclaimer: if Stafford DOES retire AND Future Draft Picks are STILL traded, rather than ACCUMULATED ( to Draft our future QB) it will just be more negligence from what is STARTING to become an Organization that others laugh at

He’s 34 and still has game. There’s plenty of time to consider the situation.

The one problem is that they’re playing so bad it might not look worthwhile to return just so he get another 5-8 wins.

Plus getting the much-needed maximized infusion of good talent is more difficult when you ‘F them picks’.

McVay could make a big case for him to come back if they could get it together and play tough and committed down the stretch.

Link? I saw the coach mcvay show yesterday and he sounded depressed. Could be from the situation and all but could also be from the fact the knows staff is done. And maybe....just maybe he feels SOMEWHAT responsible for this since he was the one that signed on for this o line crew. Staff was sacked and hit this season like he has never been in his entire career. Something was bound to happen. That is pretty obvious.
