Aaron Rodgers to the Rams would make sense for Rodgers, but not the Rams

On Tuesday, we began to note chatter in regards to the Rams doubtlessly signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers. So we tracked it again to the origin with a purpose to determine whether or not it was rooted in one thing credible.

Because it seems, Adam Schefter of ESPN talked about it on his podcast, which induced others to say it, too.

We’ll point out it now. From the Rams’ perspective, why would they even point out it as a risk?

Sure, as Schefter mentioned, Rodgers turns into a risk provided that issues don’t work out between the Rams and present starter Matthew Stafford. But when the Rams make a change, it might be to go youthful. Why would that need somebody who’s 4 years older and, frankly, presently not so good as Stafford?

Perhaps it’s all a part of some clunky effort by the Rams to make Stafford extra prone to take their finest supply. If that’s the very best they’ll do, nevertheless, Stafford ought to say, “Go for it.”

Past the truth that Rodgers is slipping and Stafford isn’t, why would the Rams need to enroll in the Aaron Rodgers Expertise? Stafford is the precise reverse of Rodgers. Stafford isn’t an “all about me” man. Stafford doesn’t really feel compelled to complement his weekly press conferences with a bully-pulpit TV appearances that randomly veer into unsettled scores and conspiracy theories. Hell, past Stafford’s league-required appearances, he not often talks.

From Rodgers’s perspective, sure he ought to wish to play for the Rams. They’ve a younger workforce with loads of nice gamers. They made it to the ultimate eight in 2024, they usually’re the one workforce (out of 4) that gave the Eagles a run for his or her cash within the playoffs.

Plus, Rodgers has been desirous to get again to California. The Rams can be a great location for him to wrap his profession.

However, once more, why would the Rams wish to do this?

It underscores the most important downside because the Rams and Stafford proceed to have a bizarre vibe between them. If the Rams make a change, they’d higher have a plan for locating somebody higher than Stafford. On this yr’s crop of choice, nobody stands out as a right away improve.
