Record and talent are not always the same thing...

January 14, 2017 04:47AM
I've seen it enough times where a new HC comes in and turns a 4-12 team (or worse) into a winner with the same players.

A great example of this is what Vince Lombardi did with the Packers when he took over in 1959.

The Packers won 1 game in 1958 and were thought to have little talent. And they had HOFers like Bart Starr, Ray Nitchtke, Hornung, and Forrest Gregg already on the team. Lombardi went 7-5 in 1959 and had the Packers in the NFL title game in 1960.

My point here is that we don't really know for sure how bad the talent is because of Fisher.

Blue and Gold412January 13, 2017 08:29PM

  And why would you fire Snead?

Ramadune372January 13, 2017 10:10PM

  Never said I wanted Snead fired

zn368January 14, 2017 06:06AM

  well, I agree but would add that Snead used scouts that were "unknowns" to him...for the most part.

SunTzu_vs_Camus412January 14, 2017 06:15AM

  Completely Agree!

Ramadune327January 14, 2017 02:03PM

  Re: Well its likely that the Rams

Speed_Kills465January 13, 2017 08:04PM

  Rams need a HC who reports to a GM

max347January 14, 2017 03:12AM

  I think the issue is: how much was Fisher, how much was Snead?

RockRam500January 14, 2017 03:05AM

  because overall they have done well

zn481January 14, 2017 04:15AM

  Snead had like 15 , first and second round picks over the last 5 years

zn330January 14, 2017 05:14AM

  this roster vs the 2012 roster....is light years better. imo

  Bill Parcells disagrees with you...

jemach469January 14, 2017 04:52PM

  I agree...Snead has been the best drafter - imo - for the Rams in the 21st century.

SunTzu_vs_Camus340January 14, 2017 05:56AM

  yeah that's true too
