but they may be. The Rams, IMHO of course, are in a situation where they may have, (I think they HAVE), upgraded in a lot of areas... but it's still new, they still have to gel.
What I'm getting at: I think the Rams have a higher potential than the Chargers... but also a lower potential should things go awry.
I think SF is in that category as well... they had just an absurd amount of injuries last year and still played competitively, now they're all back... so it would seem they are back in form. BUT... last time they were at full strength was 2 years ago! I don't think I, or anyone, can say they'll return right back to form EVEN IF they stay healthy. So again, a range, high potential... quite possible low potential.
