QuoteLesBaker This is toooooo funny. It's the coaches. But the team has played with backup QB's for most of the last how many seasons????? Your argument just doesn't hold water.

Any excuse (back up QB's, etc)that you trot out to defend Fisher are moot, because whether you blame the QB's or the O-line or the WR's or adby guinnessram - RamsFootballFans.com
If the team is winning and getting into the playoffs, that will mean that Fisher has been jettisoned, which will lead to many of these wayward souls coming back to the flock/Herd. Me, I'm staying.

A putrid, unimaginative offense that gives us little chance of winning a game and no chance of ever making the playoffs. A conservative, play-not-to-lose game plan that leads to play-not-to-win more often than not. Boneheaded penalties that also lead to more losses than wins. An on the field product that is almost impossible to watch, win (Jets) or lose (Dolphs). A 4-6 start that extiby guinnessram - RamsFootballFans.com
I seem to recall some classic battles between Gritsy & a guy called "Fast Eddie", but my memory isn't what it used to be. My experience is that I migrated here from the PD board.

Carson Palmer lost in 2003, followed by names such as Luck, Newton, Bradford, Jamarcus, etc. I don't care. I find myself looking forward to Sunday for the first time in a long time. With Keenum @ QB, I had an empty feeling even after games we won or were competitive in. It may seem like a double standard, but with Goff under center it will be much easier to see a silver lining after closeby guinnessram - RamsFootballFans.com

We have been in the bottom 5 on offense over Fisher's entire tenure, reaching new heights of ineptness this year. Going in to this season, our D and ST's looked like playoff caliber units, and they have done nothing this year to change that impression.

You can't use the injury excuse this year to explain our losing ways under Fisher. He is running out of excuses. It's time for him to start winning or to get out of the way.

So much for the "last 3 games" theory. I think we should look at the entire season picture, where we rank 29th overall. If you cherry pick games (hey, games 2, 3 & 4 we were undefeated!) you can support just about any argument.
