To be clear... i dont think anyone is out of it. Just that the division is clearly not what it once was
Seattle has to fix that oline and get a run game - they do that then they will maintain control of the division. The qb and defense are still obviously very good although the defense is not deep

Right now the division has at the QB position a declining aged Palmer, Wilson, Gabbert/Keapernick and Goff.
So IMO the Cardinals are out of the hunt as are the 49ers. The division goes through SEA still and even though Wilson has been remarkably lucky with injuries he has taken a lot of hits the last 3 years. If he's healthy they are fine, if they have to go to the backup (no idea who it is) it's over for them. IMO had they not essentially given away the 2 AZ games we would see what we will probably see next year meaning 11-12 wins.
So as SEA starts to decline in the next few years Goff emerging will be the key to the Rams.
IMO Goff along with Snead (assuming he is selecting players) are the two most important people on the payroll. If those guys turn out good there is a high cieling for the Rams. If not we will see a repeat of the 90's.
