Fisher wants that HCing extension from Stan Kroenke.
He will do whatever it takes to get it....as that is what "CORPORATE SURVIVORS" do.....
and Memo To Ramsnation:
JEFF FISHER HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 2 DECADES IN THE HYPERCOMPETITIVE NFL!!
MOREOVER, HE IS VERY VERY GOOD AT IT....
JUST LOOK AT HIS WINS PERCENTAGE VERSUS HIS LONGEVITY AS A NFL HC!
Fisher thought Keenum would give him the best chance to win....ie. accumulate the most W's in 2016,
WHICH IS THE FIRST YEAR OF NFL FOOTBALL BACK IN THE SECOND BIGGEST MARKET IN THE USA!
So, Jeff Fisher's plan was to have Case Keenum serve up an 8-8 record....or better....and in that way, JF assumed that he gets his HC extension from Kroenke...
BECAUSE...
HEY, EVEN A 8-8 RECORD IS AN "IMPROVEMENT".....KAPEESH!!!??
BUT, the fly in JF's plan??? (with apologies to Zero Mostel
) A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.....er The LA Colosseum
.....um...not only is Case Keenum coming up dry in producing W's for 2016, BTW, the first year of NFL Football back in LA since Christmas 1994......
BUT....
THE PRODUCT THAT FISHER TROTTED OUT FOR THE 2016 SEASON HAS BEEN SO PUTRID, THAT EVEN LOS ANGELENOS, WHO HAVEN'T SEEN LIVE NFL FOOTBALL FOR NEARLY A QUARTER OR A CENTURY ARE HURLING CHANTS, INSULTS AND BOOING AFTER ONLY 3 REAL HOME GAMES ALREADY!!!!
The whole Jeff Fisher plan of getting to 8 wins with Keenum, getting his extension, and being able to say "HEY RAMSNATION, THAT WAS JUST OUR FIRST ACT.....WAIT'LL NEXT YEAR WHEN WE TROT OUT JARED TheMessiah GOFF!!!
Like I say, the product has been so unwatchable, especially at home....WHAT? 2 TOTAL TDs IN THREE GAMES AT THE COLOSSEUM...ARE U KIDDING ME??!!
.......THE PRODUCT IS SO LAME AND SO NAUSEATING TO WATCH THAT EVEN THE NFL-STARVED LOS ANGELENOS WERE WALKING OUT IN DROVES IN THE 4TH QUARTER YESTERDAY, KNOWING THAT THE RAMS GOOSE WAS COOKED.....AND NO, CASE KEENUM WAS NO CAPTAIN COMEBACK A LA ELI MANNING OR JOHN ELWAY......
and, Enos Stanley Kroenke, must've also noticed his customers leaving early, by the thousands....
and that exodus of Rams faithful make Stan IDidn'tGetToBeABillionaireByBeingANiceGuy! Kroenke wondering if Jeff IKnowWhatI'mDoing! Fisher is REALLY the right guy to extend as his Head Coach for his team, that Forbes says is worth a coupla Billions ..................if the stands are full.
so now,
QUESTION....what does Jeff Fisher do to get that elusive extension from Stan?
ANSWER: Do what he can to win 8 games!!!
IF GOFF IS READY TO WIN IN THE NFL: Stick the former California Bear in there and win some games!
IF GOFF IS NOT READY TO WIN IN THE NFL: Then I predict that the scheme may include having to start Sean Mannion, after Jared Goff feigns a Practice Field injury......BECAUSE KROENKE WOULD HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT SAVANT TO RENEW JEFF FISHER IF IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT FISHER FOOKED UP THE GOFF SELECTION AFTER SPENDING ALL THAT DRAFT TREASURE, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
As always, JMO.
