I remember being so pissed when the Rams signed Stafford. In hindsight would you rather be the Rams with superbowl win, Stafford on that ridiculous contract and those extremely constraining cap numbers, especially in light of his recent injury history, or be in the 49ers with no SB win, no Stafford, and the expectation of contention?

I'd rather have that ring right now.

I wouldn't. We have past Lombardi's. I love the expectation of ongoing successes.

True about past Lombardi's but its been almost 30 years since we've won it all. The expectation of success with no results to prove those expectations the past 30 years IMO is getting tiresome. Hence why I rather have the ring right now.

Yup I'll take a ring you can dead cap hit me for the next few years 100+m I don't care; we will survive it. The ring endures.

You don't seem to be surviving the last ring too well, so that theory is flawed. As much as I want to win, I like actually enjoying the 49ers again, weekly. The idea of saying well at least we won a ring in 2021 isn't going to cut it for me after the first year.

Furthermore, I can't fathom how watching football could ever be fun with that kind of mindset. Most teams will never win and the small amount that do, it still doesn't occur with any regularity. I don't think Bucs fans give a rats a$$ about 2020 at this point and will be ready to fire their coach after one more bad season.

Yeah, too many fans only care about the championships. I love them too - the 1994 team was when I was 15 and will likely always be my favorite 49er team - but I also love the 2011, 2019 and 2022 teams even though they didn't win it all. A huge part of that is week-to-week those teams were a blast to watch. 2023 looks to be a fun team to watch every week. When you have that many likeable good players it should be entertaining while it's happening instead of just if the biggest goal is met at the end. Jerry Rice was just as fun to watch in the non-SB winning years as the 3 times they did win it all in his 16 seasons with the team.

Looks like we just got an extra 1-2 long TDs per game to add to the annual ass stomping of the lambs

Rams fans are delusional. Most people have them finishing bottom 5 in the league. The roster is horrible. Not as bad as the Cardinals but it's still pretty bad. The defense is Donald and a bunch of nobodies and the offense is Stafford and Kupp and that's pretty much it. Teams can just double Kupp because they don't really have that proven #2 guy. Van Jefferson is ok but not a guy I would worry about killing you on a consistant basis. But let's say their offense somehow becomes top 10, Their defense might be among the worst in the league. They have no edge rushers, No secondary,and 1 decent Linebacker.

Update: #Rams QB Matthew Stafford admittedly has a tough time connecting with his younger teammates on the team.

I'm like golem, gimmie that ring lol... but thats just my opinion you guys can have yours too.

Just have to butter up Goodell or blackmail his ass Eddie D style so we can have a Mickey Mouse scripted title too (thought it was gonna be last year, Brock winning it all in his hometown Arizona, but nooooooooo….they wann prop up this fake Chiefs dynasty)

Rams have placed Cooper Kupp on IR which means we will not have to worry about who is covering him in the slot when we play them next week.
