What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackle, and it is Thursday. July 1st. July is here, man.

The football draft season is upon us, and really everything kicks into full swing next week after the 4th of July, but you know what?

Doesn't matter. We're already there, man. We've been there all along, and that's what we're putting the work in so we can dominate our opponents.

Today on the show, we're going to preview the Los Angeles Rams. This is a Super Bowl contending team. No doubt about it.

So we'll break down all the fantasy football outlooks here. It's this is sexy squad. No doubt there.

Before I get into that, though, let me just remind you, we do have a contest going on. It's really easy to enter this bad boy.

All you have to do is review this show, this podcast you're listening to right now on Apple podcasts, rate it, review it, and in your review, leave your Twitter handle.

It's all you got to do. You'll be entered into win a free rant t-shirt. I like free. I like rant t-shirts together. I like it all.

So do that. We'll hook you up here. We're going to pick a winner pretty soon since we've reached a lie.

So that'll be coming up shortly, but there's still time to answer hook me up, and I might hook you up.

Let's dive into the Los Angeles Rams. This was a team that reached essentially their apex, which are a golf under center. They couldn't do anything more.

They really couldn't. That was it. That was the pinnacle. So what do you do? You move on.

And I think you upgrade with Matthew Stafford. Now, I know that Stafford is, you know, maybe some people might not be 100% sold that he's going to be the absolute difference maker here, but I will tell you flat out.

We're basing that take on Stafford with the Lions. Now let's just remember that. You know, think long and hard about that one. Stafford with the Lions.

And you know what Stafford with the Lions is still a player who has thrown for over 45,000 passing yards over the course of his career.

Annually a 4,000 yard passer in that transitional phase here over the last decade where the league has become increasingly passing centric.

He's been on the, you know, the forefront of that, even with the Lions has a 5,000 yard season under his belt has a 4,900 yard season under his belt.

This is with the Lions. Now granny did have Calvin Johnson for good chunk of that. But now he's in an offense with one of the brightest offensive minds at the controls in the league in Sean McVeigh.

He has a nice set of weapons and probably most importantly and most underratedly. Is that a word?

He has a run game. When is Matthew Stafford ever had a run game like we almost had a run game with job at best and don't get me started on the wood if's there.

But when is he had a run game? He really hasn't. Well, he's going to have one this year.

So Matthew Stafford right now for me with these weapons with this offense with this defense to by the way, but that's something else.
