why is that important?

We are very close to what's going on with this team, so I wanted to step back and look at the passing game from a reasonable perspective.

Here's the bottom line:

Given the following:
1. 3+ year vets who have never produced at least 800 receiving yds in a season.
2. rookie QB and/or journeyman QB.
3. rookie receivers not taken in the 1st or 2nd round.

How often does that combination produced a decent passing game?

My guess is that the percentage is extremely low. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any. Anyone got an example of a team that has done it in the past 10 years?

What do you mean by decent passing game?

Notice something here. Excluding the Rams, here';s a list of the BOTTOM ten teams in terms pass percentage (percentage of total plays that are passes). How many playoff teams on this list?

Playoff teams bolded.

Arizona
Dallas
Tampa Bay
Chicago
Cincinnati
Kansas City
Seattle
Minnesota
Carolina
Buffalo

Even given that, what can the Rams do to improve the passing attack?

1. field a qb who does not melt down
2. change the WR coach
3. field a more experienced OL
4. get more out of what they have (Kendricks, Tavon, Britt, Gurley)
5. add talent, including some that can add things as rookies (eg. Higbee)

In short, not be a team with an inexperienced and then injured OL and a starting qb who melts down.
