If the Rams fix that dreadful approach on offense when trailing in the 4th quarter and actually win a game or two when trailing at the 4th quarter, the team will be a superbowl contender. I have never seen a top of the league offense so bad in one area and great in all the areas. I will never forget the key series of downs that cost the Rams last years superbowl with the climatic JUST GOby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Besides the fact that Pace didn't play as well those years after 2001 because of those holdouts and lived off his name, his holdouts impacted the entire team, especially the offensive line. Offensive lines build continuity and bond by working together. When your best guy, simply calls in sick because he can, that sets a bad tone for the team.

is the biggest upgrade in profession sports in recent years. And even if Whitworth only plays a couple of seasons, that move allowed Goff to become a confident quarterback and saved him from being a Bust. that combined with getting Fisher away from the offense and getting WRs. Rams needed 3 check boxes. 1) Get Fisher away from the offense 2) Replace Robinson 3) Get WRs. All 3 areby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

he could hold onto the ball. My concern would be fumbles.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
It isn't a question whether he is the top QB, he is the best player period. Jerry Rice is 2nd. He elevates at team like no other player ever in the league. The Packers were lost last year without him and we saw how he takes this bad team and makes them a playoff team. Than there are all those years with 100+ QB ratings. So he has the results, the numbers, and passes the eye ball tesby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I have never rooted for his team, but I can't wait to see his games. Although I do find myself rooting for the chance to see him put into these impossible situations so we can see magic. Some of this big time throws late in game have been just unbelievable from his 70 yard toss ups at the end of the game or the pass to our beloved Cook on the sideline. His scrambles in the pocket are anby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

was his name. But he was a nameless guy. But most people pick Brady as the greatest player ever because of the superbowls and the reality is many top tier QBs would have won the same superbowls with that coaching staff in tack. Rodgers is the greatest player in NFL history. He has elevated so many bad teams to the playoffs and that is more significant accomplishment given his circby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Fisher is a quarterback destructor. Once guys get away from Fisher, they start playing better.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Remember the Patriots want 10 games when Brady was out with a QB named ELVIS???:partytime And at the start of the 4 game suspension went 3-1 and probably go 4-0 had it not been that the Patriots had to go all the way down to the 3rd string QB. You could take about a 1/3 of the QBs in the NFL and trade them to the Patriots and they all would be winning superbowls with the Patriots.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
No doubt he would be very good no matter where he played but the drop-off would be significant compared to his success with the Patriots with dominants offensive lines and great coaching. Put him in Cleveland and the Browns would still be bad with Brady. Which is why I say Rodgers is the superior player. My guess if you did a little what if and 1) Put Rodgers on all 32 teams with himby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Many of these QBs become good quarterbacks because of the coaching, the system around them, the approach to offensive football. I think you move quarterbacks around to different teams and their success would change dramatically.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff and Gurley before and after shows what a positive approach to offensive football can do and how much a coach can elevate a player. We saw it with Martz as well when players played their very best football because he developed them, prepared them, and created a system looking for success instead of failure avoidance system which ultimately leads to that - failure.

which impacts his preparation, can't focus, can't learn, can't judge a ball. There is no way to prove anything - just observation on a player that seems lost. Just an educated guess. Probably not fair to him if that guess is wrong though. Marijuana significantly impairs judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time Just basing it on observation.

In a perfect world, you have such a game changing player like Donald, you pay him his worth, but the analytics have to be. If you don't pay him that money, could the net value of players be worth more than the star. When it gets so high that you have to start cutting stars to make it work, than the evaluation has that factor.

forever or at least a decade. Not since Curtis and McDonald have any of them been even decent. Every year we hear about these guys and they all stink. In contrast, it took like 2 preseason games to realize Kupp was a very good NFL receiver. These other guys, simply are not Wide Receivers that will get much done.

it would be interesting if Fisher ever explained what in the world was he thinking to put together such a bland offense in the current age of football. It is just stunning what kind of approach he had towards offense.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Regardless disagree with coaches approach on boxing in to a specific role. I love the coach how he creates all the space and has diversity and creates new looks each week. I think it could be even better if he mixes and matches the WRs with different kinds of routes. I felt each receiver ran their own set of patterns and that is all they did. Since it was the first year, the other teamby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Some of it lands on McVay. He is a great coach, but wants to control everything. When the game is on the line and hurried up is needed, you have the let the great players have a moment when they play with instinct and feel of the game. I know this isn't unique with the Rams to be bad in this area, but I have never seen an offense so dominating, be so poorly in this area. It is so lopsiby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
It is not Goff. Him and McVay have just been awful in that area. If that changes, I will be on board. Just Got it Off will be the words that will be remembered for years as the sequence of plays that kept the Rams from a superbowl in 2018.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

over Goff. I would take Donald as the first defensive player and Gurley as the first running back although there are a few other runningbacks that are pretty close. Until Goff can start winning 4th quarter games when the Rams are trailing, I think he has a ways to go to be considered a franchise player. The Rams are simply awful when trailing at the start of the 4th quarter. For as goodby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Blame for Watkins failure with the Rams to me comes down to both: Watkins himself I don't believe he takes care of himself and he isn't a student of the game. I can't prove it, but I believe is "Fun" time away from football is more important than the game. He never seems prepared, can't judge a deep ball, and doesn't appear to work well with teammates.

Gurley and Donald are the 2 best players. But it is amazing how he went from a player that many didn't think could make it in the NFL after a horrific rookie season to somebody saying he is the Rams best player. Put him back into the Fisher system and he is a subpar player. Put him with these receivers and coaching staff and he is a very good player.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
but his production was dismal. Almost Gibson like. I do believe he was excellent with the Bills based on the number of games he played and his production and the Rams didn't use him the right way, but the bottom line is if his role was just to run deep to clear out space, there were better options, because that is not his strength. His strength is that he is strong and has good hands andby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
