Puca Nacua Makes Bold Statement

[GlendoraRam]

Come on Puka…

[Jacksnow]

Here is a bold statement Puka should make; I won't injure myself skate boarding during the off season. It's Puka not Puca right?
Puca is something you do after one to many mai tai's

[ocram23]

everyone in the league is saying this but you are correct he should not have said anything

[Ramsfan08ny]

Nice Puka. Why not just paint a bigger target on your back? Or worse yet, on your knees.

[crazy-legs]

I agree what he said shouldn't of been said. You never want to give your opponent locker room material. With that said I think what he said is spot on. Purdy isn't a bad player but he's not great. He is a QB that needs others to carry him to the promise land. I don't have him as a top 10 QB.

As it stands now the Whiners have 38 million in CAP space this year. They have 55 million in 2026. If you look at their CAP they have a lot of huge contract, contracts that they will have to honor because the CAP hit is massive. Aiyuk would be a 56 million CAP hit in 26. Bosa would be a 75 million CAP hit. 34 million for Williams. My point is if they give Purdy a 50 million contract after this year they won't have squat left over to spend on other players. They better hit on a lot of draft picks the next 2 years cause it's going to be rough for them in FA.

As a Ram fan I do hope Purdy does get a 50 million per year contract. He's hit his ceiling IMO. Please sign him Whiners. Please...

Bad form. I get it, he's young and tenacious... but between his playing in 3 on 3 basketball tournaments, dunking and hurting himself, now this... not good form. He will will learn in time...

The worst part is, if Purdy and niners come out next season and take us in both games, and Purdy puts up goddy numbers... this will absolutely come back to haunt Puka

What a boner. Sheeeeeesh... I bet the call from McVay went something like this...

"Hey, Puka, coach Sean here... so, I heard the segment and im not thrilled. You should know by now, we are a classy organization. We dont get in the weeds and talk trash like this. Ok man. You understand me? You know I care for you and excited for the coming season, as you are our #1 WR, but this chatter has to stop. Prove it on the field... and if Purdys kicks our asses this season, I will most definitely bring your name up in the locker room after the game. OK? Got it, we good man? Ok... great, Bye"

Perfectly stated Del!!!

Nobody is going to remember this in 6 months when the season starts. Relax people.

Its a sad world when the only person allowed to have an opinion is the nut job in the WH and the incoherent dude that owns Swatikar.. not sure what happened to freedom of speech that we use to cherish so much !!

You go Puka and say what you want...

He's 100% allowed to say it. He can also tell his neighbor that his wife is ugly as sin and he was crazy to marry her. Neither will most likely end up too good for him.

and that's fair enough and on him... the world has gone too woke not allowing people to state their mind anymore unless it conforms to the norm

There's also the element of not fireing up your #1 rival anymore than they already are. Woke has nothing to do with that.

Do not understand the incessant need for some folks to run their mouths. Play it on the field not the damn bulletin boards

[Ramsfan08ny]

I'm sure Stafford isn't thrilled with it

Did Stafford and indeed his wife not run their mouths as well !?

You continually prove to many of us in here how much of an idiot you are. What a stupid post. Why bring up politics?. Stop being a troll.

[DVA_ram33]

And the same schmuck with the second stupidest Post. Did Stafford and his wife talk about opposing teams? Who IS this loser?

Maybe look at the point i was responding to... Stafford absolutely did not think about the team first when he ran his mouth and his wife less so.. I love the guy but it is what it is and he is perfectly entitled to have a voice as is Puka !!

And your fan boy post backing up the bullyboy is exactly what i mean about freedom of speech in America and the need to conform or be harassed !!

Fundamentally I am against shutting down anyone who has an opinion unlike yourself and the other person. Sorry that upsets you !

[Commish]

I'm thinking back to the time period from the second Rams-49ers matchup of 1990 through the second one of the '98 season.

The 49ers won seventeen straight games vs. our team during that span, much of the time being openly contemptuous of the Good Guys, including that 'Same Old Sorry-Ass Rams' putdown, yet our team apparently never felt inspired to demonstate that the contempt was unjustified when facing the 49ers on the football field. (The Good Guys even managed to lose to a 49ers team quarterbacked by Jim Druckenmiller.)

While I don't agree with Puka Nacua's making those comments about the 49ers, I do pretty much agree with their content, and I'm highly doubtful that 'bulletin-board material' is seriously going to influence future Rams-49ers contests. If our team outperforms theirs, it should win those matchups, just as the 49ers (with their generally superior talent) did for most of the '90s.

"Tempest in a teapot'... :? ;)

RAM SEASON!!

Right?? Making a situation bigger than what it is. Its being dramatic.

[FelixTheStonerCat]

I dont give a shit in all honesty. Aint that big of a deal. People need to stop getting uptight when someone says something.

[49RH8R]

I dont give a shit in all honesty. Aint that big of a deal. People need to stop getting uptight when someone says something.

Yep. Also, Puka is just saying what everyone else is thinking and he's probably right.

The more Purdy's contract drags on the less people will remember what Nacua said. It's not like he said Purdy sucks or anything.

On another note, what do most of you guys think Purdy is worth?

If you owned the Niners, what would you pay the guy per season, for how long and what is guaranteed?

I’ve thought about this. IMO, Purdy came down to earth last season, and to me, is an average QB. Not really franchise guy.

Thoughts?

I'd make the contract look good in the headlines but I'd also make sure the team isn't saddled with too much guaranteed money. Think the opposite of that horrific 100% guaranteed DeShawn Watson contract. Dak Prescott got a whopping 60 mil avg but his "total guaranteed" is only 129 mil (2 years).

Ten QB's are getting over 50 mil a year and the price keeps going up so the Niners are screwed. You could make the case for 55 mil a year with 120 guaranteed. Watson is untradeable so eat the guaranteed money in the next few years to so it's easier to find a trade partner.

As far as performance, watch Purdy settle into a middle rung QB like Derek Carr after Kittle, CMC, Trent Williams, Aiyuk all fall by the wayside.

[DVA_ram33]

I agree that Purdy is middle tier at best... hope he gets that $50M though..

[Ramsfan08ny]

He's a starter in the NFL. Has been to championship games. He's getting 50 mil. Just how it works. The first 70 mil guy could be Daniels. Supply and demand helps drive this up. Hard to believe there is less than 25 guys in the US that can actually play the position.

[49RH8R]

I know the certain fan boys are gonna rally round Puka.

But this is a really STUPID thing to say. Whats the possible UPSIDE???

Dude, nobody is going to care in September. Quit crying.

It's one "TOO" many mai tai's right? ;)

I'll bet Purdy and the 9ers will remember it. it will bein big print in their locker roon on game day!
I'm sure he's been spoken to, by many...
