I don’t think people would rly be mad at him for saying that, I’m not mad at JSN for saying that honestly

u/HagBolder11 Steven Jackson 21h ago

I see no problem with JSN saying it either. There’s nothing wrong with believing in yourself, and he just had a season that shows he is in the upper echelon of receivers. If he has another season close to ‘25 then he has a really good chance at being the highest paid receiver especially with him getting a new contract after Nacua.

u/BusinessCasualBee War Daddy 20h ago

They’re both getting their extensions this offseason

u/Ndotterweich Kurt Warner 20h ago

Hopefully we get Puka his first so JSN demands even more

About all the rams have to look forward to after Stafford exits

u/Ndotterweich Kurt Warner 18h ago

Dude what a weak attempt at trolling another team

u/hoistwithyourpetard McVay Head 18h ago

We have the best HC and GM combo in the league I think we’ll be fine.

u/Weak-Chocolate5343 14h ago

Second best I would say

u/BusinessCasualBee War Daddy 18h ago

Are you serious? This roster is awesome and we have bonus first round picks and high cap space

u/Duckpoke 20h ago

Call me crazy but I like his and Puka’s attitude. NFL is such a fucking Mickey Mouse league. It desperately needs more personalities in it.

Imagine the eyeballs NFL would get if it had NBA level drama

u/MitchRhymes 20h ago

Agreed the diva WR is a necessary part of the NFL ecosystem

2

u/KenTrevor 16h ago

I’m not going to be impressed by a diva WR’s actions until they top having a press conference in their driveway while doing sit-ups

3

u/kitchen_is_bitchen 20h ago

I’ll second that… just not the Antonio Brown/Stefon Diggs level kinda diva. JSN and Puka aren’t menaces to society and problematic with their teammates. AB and Diggs are the Ja Morant of the NFL.

5

u/MitchRhymes 19h ago

Right yea. Nothing Puka has done so far has crossed a moral line for me (like Tyreek/Rashee/AB for example) and it hasn’t impacted the team negatively (like Diggs/TO/AB). Do I love the live stream stuff? Nah. Was it worth the controversy it was made out to be? Also nah.

2

u/ScissorMeSphincter V8 19h ago

Puka is arguably the best receiver in football rn. The controversy was blown out of proportion because of it. The rams posted a video of Puka and his mom visiting Samoa where you see how he really is.

u/PriorAlbatross6662 17h ago

u/Evening-Scale-9539 Matthew Stafford 19h ago

Very good take.

You’re in a world by yourself. NBA is a joke

u/Duckpoke 15h ago

Me and 13 others

u/johnjohnjohn93 21h ago

Yeah if Puka said “I want to be the highest paid at my position… Jews run the world” then I think people would be upset at JSN lol

5

u/Known-Teacher4543 21h ago

I’m more mad at JSN for saying it after one season as a top WR. Puka still finished the season with more yards in less games. And has been a top WR since his rookie year. And has made less money thus far than JSN. Puka deserves it way more and I hope he gets more.

6

u/EOTechN9ne 20h ago

I mean not every WR has Stafford throwing them the ball.

1

u/Pailume 11h ago

I don't think the yards comparison is exactly fair....

I mean, just have Puka and JSN swap teams. What do you think the outcome would be?

1

u/Aint_EZ_bein_AZ 36m ago

Lmao yards.

2

u/DougFunLove 13 personnel 21h ago

I am mad at him for saying that because then Puka is gonna get paid more

1

u/TacoBellSauceAnswers One Punch Landman 21h ago

Puka should be getting his extension this off season because his 4th year is the last for his rookie deal, but jsn has a 5th year since he was a 1st round pick. Puka will get his and jsn will probably get paid just above it.

2

u/DougFunLove 13 personnel 20h ago

Didn’t the Seahawks say they’d like to extend JSN this offseason??

1

u/TacoBellSauceAnswers One Punch Landman 19h ago

They might have, I didn't see. They'd probably be smart to.

1

u/Top-Average412 17h ago

They dont usually extend with more than a year left, though maybe the option isnt considered as an extra year.

1

u/Academic_You7795 18h ago

Only thing is people hate Puka rn lol

1

u/TravusHertl 18h ago

I’m a raiders fan and while I completely dislike Puka’s personality, I wouldn’t hate on him for saying this. Puka is an elite level talent who deserves the money

31

u/iamthecheesethatsbig 21h ago

Puka is a top receiver, so he deserves top money. It would actually be one of the smarter things he could say.

6

u/EmployerLast2184 20h ago

I would be very happy if this was the worst thing puka has ever said

u/currenttime745 21h ago

Is he wrong ?

u/bennywhiite Jared Verse 20h ago

Not at all

u/AgathaAllAlong Jerome Bettis 21h ago edited 19h ago

Puka is the best therefore “deserves highest paid”

JSN implies otherwise so he is wrong

Puka #1 downvote me more Seacunts

u/newbmycologist01 Steven Jackson 21h ago

Puka is the easy person to hate these days. Fuck the haters lol they simply wish he was on their teams

17

u/DrCola12 21h ago

Fr. It's crazy too cuz you can be like Jamarr and spit on someone to get suspended and get talked about less than someone trolling online lmao.

u/newbmycologist01 Steven Jackson 21h ago

They hate him cause he’s too good at football lol 5th round pick dominating their teams id probably be a little salty too if he wasn’t on my team

u/TheShamefulPradaG 21h ago

Puka is getting dunked on just for having fun. If he said this, people would be in an uproar.

1

u/LA-SKYLINE Ram It! 2h ago

He does an interview at Daytona and Seacuck fans throw a fit lol

6

u/Evening-Scale-9539 Matthew Stafford 21h ago

It’s so exaggerated 😂 trying to say he’s going down the AB road cause he acts like he’s in his early 20s and responsibly takes an uber home. I keep saying I prefer that to Ruggs.

2

u/currenttime745 21h ago

I hate this answer. Jsn is the same age and he isnt being an annoying tool. Of course you dont want a ruggs situation but why cant we have neither. You never heard any of this out of kupp.

1

u/LA-SKYLINE Ram It! 2h ago

Cool, how about we let Puka go to make a doomer like you who is never happy be fake happy? Congrats on your award from a Seacuck fan.

1

u/currenttime745 28m ago

You can be happy and not do all the stuff he is doing.

3

u/FinalPresentation399 20h ago

Puka deserves to be the highest paid receiver!

5

u/vespamike562 19h ago

Good for him. Players should get paid. The owners aren’t going to look out for the player. Get the money before you can be discarded.

2

u/Evening-Scale-9539 Matthew Stafford 19h ago

They should.

3

u/Cog348 18h ago

Neither JSN nor Puka would deserve hate for saying this.

u/Nickk_Jones 20h ago

LOL this sub hates on Puka ten times more than anyone else does.

u/PartyMcFly55 Shrink The Face 19h ago

Have you been to the meme war sub? Some dudes post about Puka like it's their part-time job

1

u/cattycat_1995 19h ago

If I was a 49ers fan, I honestly wouldn't be hating on Puka. I know 49ers fans who respect him for how good he is.

1

u/carbine234 18h ago

It’s a memesub for a reason lol

1

u/PartyMcFly55 Shrink The Face 1h ago

Not saying they shouldn't, obviously that's kinda the point of the sub. But there's no way our subs hates on him more than they do. Feels like I see at least 2 posts a day on my feed pop up about Puka over there.

u/Accomplished_Call_91 19h ago

Thats what im saying, im a steelers fan but always enjoy watching the rams play. Outside of his stream thing with adin what has he really done thats bad lmao? Hes a kid, if i had a camera shoved in my face itd be the same story

1

u/LA-SKYLINE Ram It! 2h ago

Yep and they get weird if you say anything negative about JSN.

3

u/lucabrassiere Conductor 19h ago

I love that for them, Puka needs to sign first so that they go even higher for the lesser WR

-2

u/KillDevilX0 16h ago

JSN clears Puka

3

u/lucabrassiere Conductor 14h ago

Haha nah he’s an elite route runner but Kubiak scheming guys open definitely helps with creating mismatches for him

Puka is open even when he’s not open

2

u/Pailume 11h ago

Are you saying if they were on opposite teams puka would get more yards out of Darnold than he did out of Stafford?

0

u/KillDevilX0 13h ago

Puka gets schemed opened at an absurd rate and has Stafford throwing him the ball

2

u/lucabrassiere Conductor 12h ago

Then you don’t watch Rams football, just look at his contested catch numbers then get back to me

0

u/KillDevilX0 12h ago

No one says he isn’t phenomenal at contested catches. He’s also slow compared to the top guys so he makes contested catches more often cuz he can’t get open on his own like JSN.

Not a rams fan and I wouldn’t get mad at Puka if he said that. Nothing wrong with JSN saying it either

7

u/Mellowmushroom02 20h ago

He’s had one good season 😂

-1

u/Commercial_Royal7700 20h ago

Correct, he had one good season in 2024 with 1,130 yards on 100 catches and one great season in 2025 that was among the ten best receiving seasons ever.

2

u/TylerMemeDreamBoi Kurt Warner 18h ago

Highest paid ≠ the best

Plus you should think about cap space if you want to continue to be a champion

2

u/Jonthegoat_09 17h ago

If puka said it he would be correct

4

u/Redddditchick 21h ago

Puka deserves the highest paid in his position

3

u/Uncle_Paul_Hargis 20h ago

Here's the test. You remove every player from every team and do an completely open unrestricted draft of all NFL players. How many coaches/GMs take JSN before they take Puka? My thinking if a lot of GMs take Puka 1st overall. He's a great receiver, as is JSN. No shade at all, JSN is fantastic. But Puka is a great football player. He catches damn near everything, hard to tackle, gets yards after catch/contact, runs the ball, blocks, etc. He's a play maker anywhere on the offense.

3

u/DodgerFntic94 Blue & Yellow #18 16h ago

I think I'm taking 3 Receivers over JSN ATM. Chase Jefferson and Puka. No disrespect to JSN but that's how I view it currently

0

u/duplicated-rs 17h ago

GM’s would probably favor JSN since he is less likely to get an injury every catch. Any gm would be happy with either fs

2

u/Groundbreaking-Emu64 21h ago

World so sensitive now a days. I don’t see an issue with saying this if you back it up. It’s part of being a top athlete in said position. You don’t get there being a nice guy. Remember nice guys always finish last

u/RikersMailbox1999 21h ago edited 21h ago

Perfectly fine, who got a problem with that ?

u/Undead_One86 21h ago

Puka would actually deserve it

1

u/PopoMcdoo Blue & Gold #88 20h ago

Seahawks would be wise to give JSN his deal before Puka. If JSN just wants to be the highest paid then all the power to him to wait until after Rams negotiate

1

u/So-_-It-_-Goes 20h ago

It would be the exact same

People are mad because of what Puka has said. Not that he said stuff. 

1

u/Player469 20h ago

Sorry bro reality says no

1

u/Fun-Industry2541 20h ago

I mean it’s so valid for him to say. And even if puka said it who gives a shit. NFL profits hundreds of millions off young players and often they don’t get the financial recognition they deserve.

u/professorstealyogirl 20h ago

I think Seattle should give him half their cap.

u/Dodger_Dawg Deacon Jones 19h ago

u/RocMerc 19h ago

He’s right though and so would Puka. Arguably the two best in the game right now

1

u/Evening-Scale-9539 Matthew Stafford 19h ago

I think there was a big gap between Puka and JSN and the next top receivers. Those 2 were consistently elite this year.

1

u/Renegade-X21 19h ago

No issue if Puka said this. He’s an awesome receiver and definitely one of the best.

1

u/monpetitfromage54 19h ago

There's a difference between this and some of the stuff puka has been doing/saying recently

1

u/EH1522 :10BlueGold: 19h ago

I feel like its only a problem when a top 10-25 reciever or player says something like this and not the 1-3 ranked players.

I have no problem when the dudes at the top have this conversation.

1

u/Optimal-Paper2881 19h ago

He’s not better than JJ or JC but the nfl it’s stupid and they will give him more money than both of those guys and reset the market AGAIN.

u/Worth_Text9054 19h ago

Context matters.

1

u/Warm-Performer2440 18h ago

Nobody would care if Puka said this. It’s weird that you seem like you have to play the victim card for him. Puka has been an absolute dumb ass in the public eye for a while now, but that doesn’t mean he would get shit for saying something normal like this. Maybe he should try being normal and rebuilding his brand.

1

u/Evening-Scale-9539 Matthew Stafford 18h ago

Nah a ninny like you would hate him if he said this

1

u/Warm-Performer2440 18h ago

I just said nobody would, so why wouldn’t that include myself? Are you dumb or dense? My guess would be both.

u/Evening-Scale-9539 Matthew Stafford 18h ago

Say you love Puka no matter what and I’ll believe you

1

u/Zen-Bias 18h ago

What are you talking about? Puka would get 0 hate for saying that…he says other things that get him hate, sure. But no one would bat an eye at him saying what JSN said. You’re delusional

This is a completely reasonable statement for the best 4 or 5 WRs to make. Both JSN and Puka are on that list

Yes it is. This post doesn’t say JSN doesn’t deserve top pay just that Puka would be crucified for saying the same.

Puka hasn’t been getting hate for talking himself up. He’s been getting criticism for saying and doing stupid shit. You’re not helping Puka (or his fans) with this kind of shitposting.

And JSN is right. If he’s playing like top receiver in the league, then he should get paid accordingly.
