Los Angeles Rams General Thread

Kupp seems like the type that will never complain, even privately, but after inexplicably being demoted in three different seasons and turned this year into the NFL's first "blocking wide receiver," it's probably for the best that he go to another team. The question is whether any team in the Caste NFL will use him as a starter at this point in his career as McVay and Stafford have done a number on him in addition to his injuries. Remember how the hype a few years ago about how Kupp and Stafford were "best buddies" was taken to ridiculous extremes? Guess it wasn't true, but then again every time a White receiver excels it's credited primarily to his closeness to the quarterback and not to his talent.
 
I would say that Kupp’s comments in that article would constitute him complaining. He’s not going to be more explicit than that.

At 32 years old next season, he still has a number of good or even great seasons left. Adam Thielen has operated as a WR1 for the last two years, albeit on the worst team, so I’m hopeful Kupp will get a chance too. He’s better than Adam, and 3 years younger.
 
Yes, I guess that would qualify as complaining by Kupp's standards. To even do that he must be really ticked off, justifiably so. No star Black receiver would be periodically demoted or all but completely ignored in the passing game, especially during his prime years.

I wonder what the reaction would be if there were some White divas, say McConkey and Pearsall, who were drafted early and are still very young and thus can't be easily cut or Caste aside. Has the NFL ever had what could be considered a White diva?
