His record proves that he was a mediocre HC. As Ramgator pointed out, he was not the worst, but he could not progress beyond a C- rating. I remember reading some criticisms that stated that Fisher was unable to adapt to how the game changed over time, and that made some sense to me. I'm not a HC analyst but McVay's arrival proved that clearly something was terribly wrong with Fisher's abilitby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

100% correct. Shaw was a blight upon the Rams. What a horrible man to have at the helm. Georgia was just clueless.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
If I were an NFL executive of some type, or perhaps a team owner, and I knew I could tap into hundreds of millions of potential fans in Europe, I'd do it in a heartbeat. The ref'd article says that with four teams and a 10billion dollar entrance fee, each owner would make 1.25 billion! They want to make money and growing the fanbase usually makes money. How to make that happen is the question,by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Den, Do you think Hamilton was worth a 4th round pick? I'm not familiar with him, but I figure that a big DT from Ohio State championship team has got to be pretty good, and maybe a steal in the fourth.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Just reading and comparing the two teams in a matchup was exciting. So enjoyable. I have to go with McVay and Stafford for the win. McVay is clearly superior to John R. and Stafford is better than Roman, much as I am fond of Gabriel. I think Jack Snow should have been one of the WRs for Robinson's team. I'm glad that you paid some dues for Billy Truax, he was underrated and not usedby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Normally I'm apprehensively optimistic at this point and annoyed by the "rosy-colored-glasses" many Rams fan have this early. But I'm with you Rambro. I think 14-3 is doable for the following reasons: - Our OLine is very solid barring injuries - We have one of the best QBs in the game today - We have an excellent WR corps - The DLine has been improved - We seem to have a goodby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

43, you are definitely not a polyanna. You're optimistic, and that's great. I'm most impressed by getting Atl's #1 next year. I'm also impressed that we signed Adams! I'm also very pleased that they signed Ford! I'm disappointed that the ILB weaknesses has not been addressed as completely as I hoped. But overall, I'm very pleased with their effort. I think our team is stronger andby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree 43, it seems that that was also the case last year with some positions. Like you, I think overall the FO's confidence was justified by the results. Even with the ILB position I'm hopeful that that position outperforms my expectations.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
If KW is #1, and Hunter becomes #2, wouldn't that mean that Corum was a bad pick? I think Corum could be a very good RB and I hope that he holds the #2 spot this year.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
"Better than Reeder," Albany, isn't that a pretty low bar? The fans at a Falcons site could not have cared less that he was gone. The few comments there were negative about his performance. They said he was real good in 23 but regressed in 24. My hope is that he has a season like he did in 23. But I would have preferred, if possible, that we got someone better. He's one ofby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I checked out about 5 NFL LB rankings and Landman didn't get mentioned. Landman also has an injury history. He was just a jag with the Falcons - who decided that he wasn't worth tendering. He was good against the run but bad in pass coverage. How much better would he be than Reeder? Paul is considered small for the ILB position. Dolac is at best a ST player / jag. I'm hoping for someby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
This year the Rams could trade one of them this year for a player they really need. Or maybe they hold them and see if Manning is coming out early, or do some other kind of trade, lots of possibilities. But I don't see them keeping two firsts for next year.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay is going to play to his tendencies, and the new TE has a ways to go. Plus, isn't his blocking a weakness? Unless they bring in a bonafide TE I don't see them changing much.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm hoping we find a very good ILB FA.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
The whole Cousins - Penix thing tells us that their FO is weak. That's a great thing for the Rams! I suspect they could find a team that's doing well but want's a better starting QB, or say a very good QB goes down, like Lamar Jackson, or (Matthew Stafford!), and pull off a trade to minimize their bad investment, Cousins willing. I'm sure Cousins doesn't want to sit on the bench.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
43, you tend to be overly optimistic, I tend to be overly pessimistic. I feel the same way you do except that I don't think our run defense took a quantum leap. Improved with Ford definitely, but without a solid ILB I see no quantum leap. I have to say I did like the move to get Atl's #1. That was the best move in this draft. I hope to see more of Corum; not too interested in Hunter.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I was really hopeful that the Rams would draft Campbell. I actually got more and more hopeful and excited seeing he was available as our draft pick came closer. OTOH, getting Atlanta's #1 next year is also pretty good. We'll need some time to see if how this pans out. I am still hopeful that the Rams sign a solid FA ILB.

Roseman's teams have performed well over the years and he's regarded as one of the best GMs in the game. I'm not the least bit concerned about giving him his props because he's earned it. NFL football is brutal and when any org can consistently win, be they the 9ers, the Rams, the Patriots, or the Eagles, I think the thing to do is analyze what they've done right and determine if it should beby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

If teams know they can run on you, you're going to be in for a more difficult game. Last season our rushing defense was mediocre. Signing Ford was great but I think more is needed.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
