Brown is more valuable to Sean than you think. What's more, he has received so many interviews because he's so respected by his peers. Trying to build a narrative based on this year's injury debacle is lazy, stupid, and unfair. I boggles my mind how people with a tiny fraction of the talent and experience this guy has think they know whether or not he would make an excellent coordinator.

Ram brethren and sistas, riddle me this. If the first pick the Rams make in '23 were between a B+ offensive lineman or an A- Safety, which would you choose? Would your answer change if the A- player were a WR? OLB? CB? I ask because some of us are OL honks who would invest far more there than most teams ever do. Then again, shouldn't you take the most impactful player regardless of posiby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

It's actually the first Eagles game that I watched. Has anyone seen if he can throw like an elite player? Do they push the ball down the field through the air?

As the Rams coaching staff is being dismantled, the coaching search has ramped up in earnest. But if you're thinking Sean is seeking coaches that are like the ones that have moved on, I highly doubt it. The replacement of Wade Phillips is a prime example. While many expected a highly recognized coach with defensive coordinator success and direct familiarity by having worked with Sean, McVay foundby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

My wife is a Cowboys fan so I pay close attention to them. While you are correct that Dak misses Amari in this offense, I believe their issues are systemic. They are supremely talented and have effective coordinators but are generally sloppy in their execution (though they were better this year than the others in this department). The Cowboys are similar to the Rams as they have a team loadedby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit Yep. How do the Rams end up with Wolford and Perkins? Nice try. Shanny is his coach and traded up and utilized a ton of draft capital to get Lance and pay him big when Purdy was available for a song, almost UFA.

If you were a hot up-and-coming OC candidate, OR a quality seasoned and respected veteran, would YOU be doing backflips over being a virtual yes-man for McVay that isn’t even allowed to call plays? Conversely, just how much would such an ‘OC’ be taking off McVay’s plate and reducing his stress level? See where I’mby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

When another player accomplishes what Aaron Donald has done, I will consider what rules should be used to evaluate his obligation to the team. Until then, I'll gladly accept whatever he wants to give because 31 other teams would happily make that sacrifice. He may not do things others do to contribute...but he does enough for me.

As I approach 60 years of Ram fandom...I look back at what it has meant and transformed into all these years. If history is any indicator, my lifetime would have me expect a Super Bowl appearance once every 15 years and to win half of them.

QuoteRamsdude Surely Stafford could have used a "break" after getting killed by the OL this year but he was still on the sidelines. What about Kupp?

QuoteRam_Ruler I agree. I think a strong run game is like a good jab in boxing. It sets up everything else. But some people (like Mcvay) see the jab as a necessity just for keeping the opponent honest. So I don't think we'll ever have a dominant run game. But if Akers is at 20 touches a game it would be a great compliment to Kupp and Stafford. Um, wasn't Todd Gurley a legit MVP Candidate? How mby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram QuoteLeoram How much draft capital could be gained by trading Stafford, AD, Ramsey, and Kupp? According to overthecap.com the Rams are currently $1.8M under the cap in 2023. Trading Stafford would increase his '23 cap hit from $20M to $74M. Trading Donald would increase his '23 cap hit from $15M to $41M.

Most will suspect I'm unhinged, a delusional fanboy, or a deviant prankster (I reveal nothing), but Sean McVay should be groomed to be the next president of our country.

I find it concerning when people criticize the simple offense McVay was forced to run this year. I mean, just to reduce mental mistakes when the roster is a veritable carousel, any smart coach would simplify the assignments and hope to call the right plays at the right times. I would bet at least a third of the playbook has been mothballed due to the roster that remains to implement it. I haveby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

It's a funny thing, being raised a Rams fan since birth in 1964. I obviously didn't understand the game much, but Merlin Olsen, Roman Gabriel, Tom Mack, Deacon Jones, Jack Snow, and anyone named Youngblood were my heroes. When they lost, I ran to my room and cried. Think of it, not once in the century did the Rams end the season without disappointment.
