Cam Akers Quits the Rams
 

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers will not play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers after missing practice the past two days for what was listed as personal reasons, coach Sean McVay said Friday.

McVay declined to go into details about why Akers would not play, saying the Rams are "working through some different things with Cam." Asked whether he expects Akers to be a part of the team going forward, McVay reiterated, "We're working through some different things right now."

After the Rams' season-opening loss to the Buffalo Bills, McVay told reporters that he had a conversation with Akers about needing to play with more urgency, noting the reason the pair had that discussion is "a result of my confidence in him and the expectations we have and what we need him to be, which isn't anything more than what he's capable of." Akers later said that conversation occurred during training camp.

I would too if I had to play with Stat Padfford who only gives the ball to whites

Josh Allen will quit the Bills after what we do to them on Sunday

Surprised no one has posted a 4 player, 11 draft pick trade proposal to bring Akers to the Chiefs that really makes a ton of sense for both sides

Rams got lazy. You have to work hard to defend a title. They obviously didn't and maybe the Bengals didn't either.

Not so Quiet Quitting.

The Rams suck now and so does Cam Akers

We sign this POS yet?

This quitter lived near you?

This time I CAN Belize it.

How about Ron Jones & a seventh round draft pick for Aaron Donald? Certainly that makes sense for both sides. :)

Dude hasn’t been right since the Achilles. He rushed back for the playoffs and will probably never be his old self.

Did he at least post I’m “leaving forever” thread???

the NFL is a meat grinder man

appreciate guys like kelce and mahomes...they are greater than we even know

He told the Rams to “eat ****pie queers”

Lmao did he really?????

I haven’t seen any proof that he didn’t

Needs to sign AB as his agent.

Okay now I wonder if they actually ate some **** pie!!!

I haven't seen where he told people to eat **** pies.

NTTIAWWT.

I wonder if he found their uniform to be unflattering to his style. Maybe blue and white aren't in his color wheel.

Where does it say he quit on the team?

it's in the title of the thread

Yep, that makes it so!

Coming back a year after losing the SB is statistically a tough challenge. I think those teams have missed the playoffs a lot. Not sure if that trend has changed a lot in recent years but I know for a while that was happening.

Football is a bit fluky and any given Sunday can happen during the playoffs.

The SB hangover is sometimes nothing more than reverting to the mean.

Could be. But I would be interested to compare teams that make the playoffs and then miss vs teams that make the SB and then miss and see if there is a statical difference.

I think it has more to do with the tougher schedule.

Seems like a really poor decision on his part. McVay was forcing carries on him that other guys should have got.
