It's not a choice to be bad. It's a necessity that, for one year, they had to tighten their belts and get financially healthy again. They keep Shelton and Copeland, etc. while enhancing the coaching staff and making a very prudent draft with 14 picks. Just the way it had to go.
2024 will be different. Not that they should be major spenders. But they'll have the same (cap space and draft) ammo everyone else does. Right now they have the 12th most cap space in 2024. Could add $10M more if they move on from Noteboom and Allen next spring.
There were plenty of articles about "options" on how they could restructure some people if they "wanted" to. I think AlbaNY also pointed out how it "could" be done.
IMO, the Rams "chose" this route as the better option. I guess we will see if they were right but we won't know for a year or two.
It's about 2024. Not about 2023. I am sure they "want" to win this year but they won't be too upset if we get a Top 10 pick either! lol
So, IMO, it WAS a choice to be bad and sometimes that is the better choice but to say it was they "only" choice would be inaccurate IMO. They did have other options. It didn't HAVE to be this way.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
