I'm not gonna beat up on Jeff Fisher, he's obviously had enough. But I do want to point out a flaw in his thought process or plan to rebuild the Rams.
It makes zero sense to draft a RB high in the draft to be your bellcow back before you have a QB that has enough experience and talent to carry your team.
What I am saying is, draft and develop your QB before you draft your stud RB. If you don't, you spend the better part of a RBs prime while you do draft and develop your QB.
Fisher had Foles when he drafted Gurley, and the minute Foles failed, Fisher was done. And barring a trade for a franchise QB, so was the first 4 years of an already knee injured RBs career. And here the Rams sit, finally having a franchise QB, but a dinged up, maybe (I'd say probably) never to be fully healthy stud RB. Now if it would have gone the other way, you get the best of both worlds.
The Giants are going to waste Barkley's first few years as well, Jacksonville is doing the same thing with Fournette.
And I'm not going to argue the whole "Fisher must have thought Foles was a franchise QB" theory. My point was/is "as soon as Foles failed, Fisher was doomed."
In these situations, best case scenario is that your rookie qb is up to speed in year 2 or 3 and you've only wasted 3 to 4 years of your RBs mileage, making him 24 to 25 years old with 4 to 5 years left before he hits the dreaded 30 y.o. milestone.
Draft your QB first, get him up to speed, then draft your #1 RB to complete the offense.
Don't waste your time looking back, you're not going that way. - Ragnar Lothbrok
