Matthew Stafford Spurs Renewed Super Bowl Ambition For Rams

The arrival of Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles has given the Rams players renewed belief ahead of the 2021 season.

It took three years after losing Super Bowl LIII to the Patriots for the Rams to realize Jared Goff wasn’t good enough.

Offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth says the Rams roster is excited about the possibilities with Matthew Stafford under center.

“We’re excited about having Matthew,” Whitworth said. “He’s a heck of a football player, and somebody that over the years everybody that’s been in the league has watched and had a ton of respect for and really how he plays the game, the toughness he plays it with, and with that extreme talent level he has in being a top pick.”

“Being around him, you can just tell he’s your veteran quarterback. He’s calm and collected and kind of knows exactly what he wants to do with the football and wants a lot of ownership in the offense and where he’s going with the ball.

“I think we’re really excited about this year and really excited that, you know what, we won’t shy away from the expectations we have for ourselves, adding a guy like Matthew Stafford, and we look forward to the challenge.”

It will be a challenge next season, considering the expectations on the Rams are no less than making the Super Bowl again.

“We’ve also figured out how to win playoff games, we’ve made some runs in the postseason. And this time for us and this opportunity we feel like this team, nothing short of going to that Super Bowl and winning it is good enough. And that’s really the expectation level for us, even though we know that’s a slippery slope. But that’s where we want to be.”

“And if that’s what you want, then you got to be able to speak about it and let people know that that’s the only thing you see is the goal, and the only thing you see as accomplishing this season is just going and winning a Super Bowl.”
