Puka Nacua is making an argument that the Los Angeles Rams have the best wide receiver in the league, and you can argue that he is the MVP of the league through the first part of the NFL season, would you agree that Nacua is the top WR in the league? Will Nacua be able to keep up this pace?
The way the man plays, the physicality, the sacrificing of his body to make plays, and his usage is insane and it’s hard to see Nacua playing through 17 games at his current pace, but sometimes people do insane things, so we’ll just have to let this ride out and see where Nacua is by the end of the campaign.
Do the Rams have the best WR in the league? Which team does have the best WR in the league?
Please comment on whatever you want and prepare yourself for the Rams on Thursday Night Football! It’s coming fast. Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times!

“We won’t do one full-speed thing the whole week with everybody healthy or injured,” Shanahan said. “That really doesn’t change anything with those guys. Hopefully they’re healthy enough to go walk-thru. If they’re not, then you give them until Thursday on such a short week, and hope they’re ready to go then. And if not, we’ve got to go with the guys behind them.”
“They obviously have a great fan base,” Sean McVay said Monday during a videoconference with reporters before deadpanning. “I blame my grandpa for that.”
McVay could also blame former team ownership, which moved the Rams from Los Angeles to St. Louis after the 1994 season. That left Southern California without the Rams for more than two...
