I appreciate the tolerant views of Fisher that want to believe he is doing a good job with Goff. But I see 2 things that I find intolerable.

One, is that I see a young QB who looks confused with so much that they put on his plate that they just can't put him on the field. And we aren't even talking about a Mike Martz passing game, we are talking about a bland looking Fisher passing game. I get the impression that they are making things so complex and they are confusing themselves more than defenses. I believe playing for Fisher is one of the worst places for a young QB to go to learn in the NFL.

Two, I then look at the opportunity cost that they paid for this. I picture a first rounder and 2 second rounders on the roster right now. They could certainly make this team better by filing holes at WR, and the back 7. Those 3 players are missing from this team and make it weaker and what is the compensation? A rookie QB in street clothes.

I find it very hard to believe this team is gonna have a winning record when the team is missing 3 premier talents and lost solid starters in the offseason, especially when I look at the innocuous passing game that they are using that they can't even get Goff to understand. I see a mediocre team once again, just more of the Fisher crap to watch for another year with no end in sight.

I am voicing my frustration at watching a coach with a mediocre record and an awful passing game keep my team from being good once again for another year.

I am tired of saying let's wait and see how it goes this year, year after year, when I see other HCs come in and turn things around in a lot less time.

There is a reason why the Rams are at the bottom of the league at 100 to 1 to win the SB this year, and it's not because everyone is wrong and Fisher is right. It's because it's blatantly obvious to everyone outside of diehard Rams fans that this team is poorly run.

My fear is that Fisher will have another losing season and Kroenke will extend him until 2019. It is depressing to think we are stuck in mediocre Fisher mode for another year, and it may even be 3 more years.

I'm just tired of watching this crap year after year.

I doubt they are doing a "good job" with Goff, but he needs to first and foremost be responsible for performing his way into the job. I just don't think there is evidence to suggest they are sabotaging Goff.

They are filling holes at WR by doubling down on the mistakes they've already made. Snisher is the master of sunk cost fallacy and that's what we'll have to look forward to with Goff for years to come unless he changes direction and morphs into the guy they were expecting. That's assuming Snisher is still there for a while, which is likely until they get to Inglewood, I'd say.

It's going to take a few things for them to be competitive this season, meaning flirting with that 8 win total. Keenum is going to have to play at least as well as he did last season for a full season. Gurley must stay healthy. The O-line must stay healthy. The front four must dominate like they're the Fearsome Foursome. The team as constructed has no margin for error to get above .500. The team as managed might not get there anyway even if everything else goes right. I have them as a 6 win probable and 9 win absolute ceiling team this year. But that's why they play the games, as they say,. You never know when the next Leicester City story might happen somewhere in the sports world, though a significant catalyst to their miracle was firing the old head coach and bringing in a new guy. It's hard to imagine what that could be with this Rams team now that it appears we can pretty much rule Goff out as that game changer for 2016.

Oh well, I'm going to just enjoy watching #17 play QB for the Rams and do the nostalgia thing with Los Angeles and the Coliseum for my enjoyment, until something changes for the better with the team itself and they give me a reason to actually believe in the best rather than blindly hope for it.
