A total dichotomy.. & paradigm shift in culture/evaluation

From what we've seen.

Obviously one of the immediate things that McVay and company did was come in an assess the team on the field and in the locker room.

I like it.

I will first say, that I never believed Whitworth would ever be a strong target or considered by the Rams brass because of his age & projected price tag.

(The #1 reason I appreciate the signing other than his performance on the field the last few years, is because he reminds me of the durable Cal Ripken Jr. "The Iron Man" at the ripe old age of 35.

Unless he suddenly has a fluke injury or just runs out of gas due to father time, it's not unrealistic to envision him remaining a top 10 Left Tackle in Pass Protection for the next 2 NFL seasons. The young QB on this team badly needs to take the next step in 2017 and with a top 10 blind side protector, he will have a fair chance to do that.

Woods? I think most everyone that knows his history from USC and his overall body of work in Buffalo can understand why the Rams had him highly targeted. He's no where near a #1 WR but he's got all the tools that make him easily a solid #2.

The other bonus is he only turns 25 years old on 04/10/2017 and is entering the prime years of his career..... there is hope he stays on this team for the duration of his contract.

Though we don't know if Whit or Woods will perform up to the value of their contracts these are worthy F/A signings on the surface and until proven different, we have to give McVay and company the benefit of the doubt for doing their homework.
