It's only one game, but Mayfield is in the best situation he has been in during his career. The Rams are awful, but they have a good offensive coach.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not going to predict the score, but this game made me think of a December game with the Raiders in 1985.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Make it to their first Super Bowl, win it, and then have the #1 pick in the draft. I doubt that all of this will happen, but I will look like a genius if it does.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Do you need to know anything more than that? The Browns. The team that then traded a slew of high drafts picks for a QB who was given a long suspension after being accused of more than 20 incidents of sexual assault. After the Browns, Mayfield appeared in seven games with the Panthers, who have been an unstable mess since Ron Rivera left town. His TD to INT ratio of 98 to 62 isn't bad. In his briby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote21Dog We'd have a two page thread on this board if he had signed with the 49ers. You might, but I wouldn't. My comment was based on the following objective observations that are independent of the team that I follow: (1) a QB that was a #1 overall pick has a much higher pedigree than the two QBs that have played for the Rams since Stafford went out and (2) the former #1 pick that the Ramsby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
John Wolford doesn't have a legitimate NFL arm. The Rams are unwatchable when he plays. Bryce Perkins has an interesting skill set, but he is very limited. As a former #1 overall pick, there can be no denying that Baker Mayfield has (or at least had) something. As Pete Schrager pointed out, a possible career track for Mayfield going forward could be something like that of Carson Palmer after he jby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Just joking (in alluding to his sideline collision last week), but it might be interesting to see what would happen if someone else were to run the Rams for a while. There have been some ideas that seem goofy from my admittedly amateur point of view.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

John Hadl was a key member of the 1973 Rams, which, like the 1999 Rams, came out of nowhere to have a great season. According to the power rankings, they were the strongest team in the NFL that year. The other keys to that team were Chuck Knox, Harold Jackson, Lawrence McCutcheon, Jim Bertelsen, Touchdown Tony Baker, Jack Youngblood, Fred Dryer, Larry Brooks, Isiah Robertson, and Merlin Olsen.

I don't think there is any doubt that he's the best ball carrier on the Rams. Certainly the only one that might cause the opposing DC any anxiety.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
In 1976, Bud Carson had perhaps the most amazing series of games by any defensive coordinator in NFL history. In the final 9 games of that season, the Steelers gave up 6, 0, 0, 0, 3, 16, 3, 0, and 0 points. I wonder why he left the Steelers after that season and how the Rams managed to steal him away.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I found a VHS copy of that game in 2003. It was something that I always wanted to see. It sure was exciting to pop that tape into the VCR and confirm that it was a nice copy of the entire game.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Bud Carson's finest moments came as the defensive coordinator with the Steelers, where he developed the Steel Curtain Defense and won two Super Bowls.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
It is easy to justify the release of both players. As you point out, the lack of durability must have been a key factor. It would also be easy to justify releasing various other players who weren't released. So there does seem to be some mystery to the move. If this is just a decision to move on (as opposed to something bad that happened behind the scenes), then it is one of the most encouragingby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The Browns, Jags, and Texans are the only other NFL teams to never play in a Super Bowl. The Lions were an established NFL franchise decades before the first Super Bowl. The original Browns became the Ravens in 1996, and the new Browns were an expansion team, as were the Jags and Texans. So the Lions are the most glaring team to never make it to a Super Bowl.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

I agree that, in a sense, the curtain has already closed. The Rams are one of the worst teams in the NFL this season, which is lost -- there is no way to save it. I don't share your optimism for the future. I believe the outlook for the Rams is going to be very bleak over the next few seasons (hopefully not another bad run of many seasons). They just don't have the resources to rebuild for next sby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams have two great players. Cooper Kupp was at the top of his game, but he has now had two major leg injuries. Aaron Donald is getting up there in years, and he seriously considered retirement after last season. Jalen Ramsey has not looked like a shutdown CB since last season. Matthew Stafford has been having arm problems and concussions, and he's getting up there in years. There is nothingby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
In 1971, Deacon Jones' best years were behind him, and the Rams were in decline. The same is true for Aaron Donald and the Rams in 2022. Both players still flashed greatness, but it was getting late in their careers. The 1971 Rams were a better and more interesting team than the 2022 Rams. I enjoyed watching that team. I can't stand to watch the 2022 Rams. The Rams were already in decline in 2021by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
After winning the triple crown, putting up all-time great single season numbers, and being named the Super Bowl MVP, it appeared that Cooper Kupp was on a trajectory that would get him into the HOF. With the Rams horrid season and what appears to be a serious injury, it suddenly seems much less likely that Kupp will get there. Having already had one serious injury, he might have a hard time returby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
