Might Los Angeles Rams fans get a bonafide quarterback after all? If patience is a virtue, maybe 2017 is truly a year where waiting is not a terrible thing after all.
Los Angeles Rams fans may want to look at the 2017 NFL season and wish it were the 2018 season. Same goes for head coach Sean McVay.
Reason?
Simple. Kirk Cousins.
As we begin the countdown to the Rams regular season, fans in Los Angeles may have another clock running on the career of Jared Goff in LA.
Hey Jared, we hardly knew ya.
Tongue in cheek and terribly premature, but don’t expect to NOT hear that question come up the first day or two of training camp at UC Irvine, because it will.
Let’s be honest about something. If Cousins is in a Rams uniform today, with this team as is, the Rams are at least .500 and I am willing to go so far as to say a challenger to Seattle in the NFC West.Who doubts that?
If the opportunity exists for this Rams team to finally lock down a bonafide starter who can get them to the top of the division and into the playoffs NEXT YEAR, you sign him.
Cousins is that guy, and McVay knows that.
Unless Goff shows he can start 16 games, win at least six, and look every bit the part of a guy who has made a quantum leap forward where he’s a year away from a Pro Bowl, you cut bait and go get someone tried and true.
It’s time to win Los Angeles.
It’s time to stop building for the future and actually be a part of the future. No more resets, no more do overs, no more moral victories based on progress measured in micro-inches.
Let 2017 be the last year we have to hear that.
Let 2017 be the last year we have only next season to look forward to.
Most importantly, let 2017 be the last season where an 8-8 season is only a pipe dream.

Hopefully the Rams finally get it right in LA, and finally get it right at quarterback.
Even if it’s a year away.
