There you go making all kinds of sense.Can’t read the article. But are you saying it doesn’t concern you that Vallejo and walker play ahead of Collins? And when I say “concern” I don’t mean it worries me for our success this season, I mean it worries me that a guy we picked in first round isn’t judged a better option 13 games into the season then JAGs by our coaching staff. The defense is playing well. We obviously don’t need Collins to be playing. So it’s not a concern from that perspective. More a “how come he’s not better than Vallejo and walker at this point?”
I'd care if the Cardinals were 4-8...
The Athletic article pretty well states EXACTLY what the non-Darksiders are saying about the situation.
I don't think you're wrong. Sadly, because of missing a few games, the best QB faces an uphill slog to the MVP, and I do think an L here in prime time kills our hopes. Also, we really need to keep winning to hold onto the #1 seed. If we get it, I'm confident we make the SB. If we don't, I think it's going to be super tough, given this team hasn't "been there" like other teams.I don't want to sound hyperbolic here but...
I think Kyler's MVP hopes and the #1 seed all ride on this game.
If we lose, I don't think either happens. If we win, I think strong chance both happen.
So no pressure, at home, in prime time.
Yea there is no way a Cards stadium was 60% ram fans…. Gross over exaggeration.This is just patently false.
Yeah maybe 10% Rams fans.This is just patently false.
Its all about the mental side. Vallejo has been around for years so he has a much better grasp of the defense.Can’t read the article. But are you saying it doesn’t concern you that Vallejo and walker play ahead of Collins?
Veterans who have a much greater grasp. Even Joe Walker has been around the team for two ish years.And when I say “concern” I don’t mean it worries me for our success this season, I mean it worries me that a guy we picked in first round isn’t judged a better option 13 games into the season then JAGs by our coaching staff.
Mentally Vallejo is better.The defense is playing well. We obviously don’t need Collins to be playing. So it’s not a concern from that perspective. More a “how come he’s not better than Vallejo and walker at this point?”
40% is a gross exaggeration. 60% is flat out comical.Yea there is no way a Cards stadium was 60% ram fans…. Gross over exaggeration.
because he hasnt been given the proper amount of in game experience as a rookie due to Hicks playing at a much higher level during a championship run.Can’t read the article.

Here is the problem I see. We are 3-2 at home and 7-0 on the road. If we lose this game we are 3-3 at home. I would go with what is working and be ok to play on the road. The #1 seed hasn’t made the Super Bowl a lot recently. I want the number 1 seed because it means we go 15-2 14-3 minimum. But we haven’t looked great at homeI don't think you're wrong.

Look at how much better Hicks has been in year 3.

Mentally Vallejo is better.
Agreed. That’s been my experience living out here for 20+ years. Raiders and USC much higher on the pro football totem pole than the Rams who are a skosh above the chargers bc they’ve been a playoff team.Yeah maybe 10% Rams fans.
The Rams don't really have a huge following.
@Corbin even LA, the Rams are like the 6th most popular team here. I'm exaggerating for effect, but the Raiders have a much bigger fanbase in their own city.
LOLI'm actually favoring the Rams slightly.
Totally agree with all of that. I'll even take it one further, to say that if situations were a bit different, it would have worked out better for the raiders to have come back to LA and the Rams to go to Vegas.Yeah maybe 10% Rams fans.

Right, but Simmons got play over those JAGs last year, so it doesn’t concern you that Collins is apparently that slow on the proverbial mental uptake?Its all about the mental side. Vallejo has been around for years so he has a much better grasp of the defense.

Actually, it's become more important. There are several articles up through 2020 talking about the importance of getting the number one seed and making the super bowl. The buccaneers, last year, were a recent outlier.Here is the problem I see. We are 3-2 at home and 7-0 on the road. If we lose this game we are 3-3 at home.

Still doesn’t account for not playing over Vallejo and walker, particularly in blowouts. That’s a LOT of lack of trust in his ability imo. It’s not just a vet playing well in front of him.because he hasnt been given the proper amount of in game experience as a rookie due to Hicks playing at a much higher level during a championship run.
he'll be fine, just gotta ride the pine for a little bit
Well I meant in the NFC. For some reason and I think it’s because of weather the AFC it does happen. And your article states 4-5 years but lost from the AFCActually, it's become more important. There are several articles up through 2020 talking about the importance of getting the number one seed and making the super bowl. The buccaneers, last year, were a recent outlier.
