I’m beginning to think indefinitely IF they can keep certain ingredients onboard.
Kroenke
Demoff/Pastoors
Snead and his crack scouting staff
None of the above are going anywhere anytime soon. Trust me.
McVay and his endless stream of great asst coaches. I think McVay sticks around for 5 more years before taking a TV gig.
Stafford. Team MVP and likely stays for 5 years, maybe more. He will finish his career as a Ram.
Kupp. Same thing. He finishes his career as a Ram.
Allen Robinson. Early to call it but I consider him an elite talent and one that Rams keep for another 5 years.
OBJ. Yeah, I’m speculating but I do see him signed for another 3 years which will make our WR virtually unstoppable.
Ramsey. Best CB in league and still young.
It’s no stretch to call those above 6 guys elite at their respective positions.
They are joined by a host of other players that are near-elite themselves at various positions too numerous to name. Wagner, Hav, Gaines being just a few examples.
Yeah, there is a cap. But that sucker is going up big time over the coming years and Rams are playing it like virtuosos.
What up and coming asst coach would NOT want to work for McVay?
What FA would NOT want to play alongside these elite players?
What GM and scouting dept is better than these guys at bringing in talent via mid round draft picks, trades, and FA?
Those are 3 tremendous built-in Ram advantages.
The two keys to continuing this winning trajectory are the Rams future of McVay and Stafford. All other player personnel seem endlessly renewable. And, like I said, I foresee both McVay and Stafford sticking around for another 5 years. Each is in the perfect NFL environment for their respective talents and each is perfect for the other.
Thoughts?
