The Rams' big investments may be what brings them down
Jerry Brewer, The Washington Post Published 7:10 am CST, Monday, November 11, 2019
Over the past few years, the Los Angeles Rams have doubled as the most refreshing and annoying winner in the NFL. They're always up to something bold: hiring 30-year-old Sean McVay to be their head coach, making trades like a fantasy sports owner, spending as if money has an expiration date. They're fun. They're also iconoclasts who can't resist acting as though they're reimagining the way this rigid league does business.
As welcome as their audacity has been, even the most radical NFL fan only can tolerate so much deviation from the sport's conservative norm. After missing the playoffs for 12 straight seasons and bolting St. Louis for Hollywood in 2016, the Rams were due to capitalize on the NFL's parity-based system. In posting a 24-8 record during the 2017 and 2018 seasons and advancing to Super Bowl LIII last February, the Rams have leveraged their collection of high draft picks, created a dynamic style of play under McVay and left no opportunity unexplored as they've built a star-studded roster. They're fearless and always upping the ante, whether it means trading three draft picks for cornerback Jalen Ramsey or signing three of their homegrown talents - running back Todd Gurley, defensive tackle Aaron Donald and quarterback Jared Goff - to record-setting deals.
