Let's get three games into the season to at least get a peek at what we've got.

I don't rule out him playing past 40. But it's not the kind of thing you count on. And btw in terms of playing well last year, he wasn't as good as he was in 2017 or 2018 but he was still fairly good. However--from 2006 through 2019 he missed a total of 8 games out of 220 possible starts in 13 years. In 2020 he missed 7. Is that Time catching up? Well we don't know, but, we can't rule that out either. And you're right about how we should approach discussions like this. I am not bickering over Whitworth. I just have a different view than you do. Yes he might play past 40, but as I said it's not the kind of thing ya count on. Brewer is the OT who opted out last year. I am not sure I've heard anything about him playing left tackle--I think he's a right tackle/guard type. ... by PARAM 2 years 10 months ago Total posts: 12239 Joined: Jul 15 2015 Just far enough North of Philadelphia Hall of Fame My takeaway from off-season moves POST #83 safer wrote:Geeez guys!

Also, Whit's back up sat out last year due to him being a cancer survivor--let's see what he has in pre-season.I'm certainly not concerned with bragging rights, except with the fans of other teams who I know. I expect the Rams to do extremely well in 2021 with the addition of Stafford and DJax. I hope a rookie or two impresses but we have plenty in front of them. I hear some in the media who think with McVay getting those two offensive pieces, he's going to have a high flying offense again. And we all know the offense was our biggest issue in 2020, just ahead of ST. I don't expect AW to play 16 games but if he does, I'll be thrilled. I expect them to have a backup plan for that possibility. As well as a plan for 2022.....though that's not a big concern in 2021. First things first. I hope Raheem Morris can continue the stellar defensive play and any decent coach with Donald, Ramsey, DWill and Floyd should. Particularly if the offense gives them leads. STs will have a strong rebound with Joe D and some of those draft picks. But it's months away and we can read each others takes, agree or disagree to pass the time.

We'll see if they're right. In my mind, the key, as @aeneas1 constantly reminds us, is offensive scoring.
