I think after last year, that it was clear, very clear, that the offense needed to be fixed.

I think that after that final season-ending game in SanF LAST YEAR where the offense was so futile, that they should have known they needed an experienced and accomplished OC.

They should have done everything in their power to make that happen. There is no coaching salary cap.
Instead they decided to stick with the elevated TE coach that authored that, and HOPE that he would get better.

To me that is a disgusting waste of opportunity. This COULD BE a playoff team if they just had a halfway decent offense. If I was a defensive veteran player on the Rams I would be sick of watching my career go to waste while they dither with this stuff.

And who is they? It's gotta be Jeff Fisher. And this is just my opinion, but I don't think he wants to be challenged on his offense by a veteran OC with different ideas. He's stubborn, and he wants to prove that he can do it his way, so he keeps a staff guy like Boras instead.

And then for Snead to say what he did about Keenum is completely over-the-top nonsense when you see that Case is just a very limited backup QB. He is not a difference maker and not a guy who carries his team to the playoffs.

Yes, they went out and drafted a QB #1. But without putting the support staff in place for him, it's not going to work.

Laram posted how he played golf and talked with a former NFL QB, also a former Ram staff member last year, who told him that QB's are not getting what they need there. No specifics, so I told myself I'll wait and see. I don't want to hear bad news. But now it looks like that info is being vindicated.

I know it was just hard knocks, and just snippets, but I didn't like what I saw of the coaching. F'bombs and hollering. Weinke asking Goff how many teams there were, like that's really making a cogent point. I wanted to see some teaching and mentoring, not basic-training style intimidation.

If they're going to look like that, they better belie the impression by succeeding on the field. And they haven't. Keenum, the guy they were so proud of and made their starter, was simultaneously not prepared, too prepared, and seeing ghosts. This is a coaching problem and a personnel evaluation problem.

I really can't express how strongly I feel about this.

Of course YMMV.

Let's revisit in a few weeks and see what we think then.
