"You don't even have to know anything about football. My wife says every year the Rams are gonna stink, the Rams made the wrong move again, and she doesn't even watch football." Sadly, so true. I've tried predicting bad - that works, as you say, but it's not much fun. I've tried predicting good - fun for a while, until the reality crushes the dream.

but trying to avoid a conflict. I have a strong opinion about how the discussion has gone since KS wasn't the choice, but no point in arguing about it. You're certainly entitled to post about your concerns. And it isn't just you. Lots of posters are cautious about the new HC and other hires. It's not surprising considering how badly things have gone for so many years. This fan base hasby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
We might suffer disappointment? Oh well. That's kind of a guarantee in life. You deal with it briefly and move on. Just a preference. But I'd rather be happy and hopeful while the issues are still unresolved, then gloomy by default until something forces me to finally lighten up. And I just need to say this.

They pretty much express my own attitude at this juncture. I always say that both negative and positive posts should be welcome. It seems as if we have some posters who are in the dumps about the Rams' decisions, and have already given up on McVay and Goff. But I'm excited and hopeful. As a fan, I just feel no reason not to take that approach until it's been proven otherwise. The Ramsby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

What does McVay really think of some of the Rams' offensive players? The underachievers of 2016. How many will he try/succeed in reaching their potential? How many will he be looking to unload right from the get-go? How many will reveal themselves to be the problem? How many will blossom under the right coaching?by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Given Kroenke's patience with Fisher, I'm betting he's not going to have a quick hook for McVay either. If he needs a couple of years to fully grow into the job, he'll probably get that.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
In a highly competitive environment, with just one champion each year, like the NFL, there are a couple of ways to end up on top. 1. Do what everyone else is doing, but just do it a bit better than everyone else. Or get lucky. 2. Be a pioneer, innovate something new that changes paradigms, and puts you ahead of the others. I think younger guys are more likely to hit on #2 than older cby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

The concrete has hardened on what the Fisher pattern is. I can't be persuaded that a new OC fixes it. If blowing things up delays winning, futzing around with Fisher for another year or two and then blowing things up wastes even more time.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

I did not like all that excuse-making I just read. C'mon Rams, 5 years is enough time to get the gist of what's going on with this coach. You can talk, talk, talk all you want about behind the scenes, respect, specters of relocation, etc. But there is NO substitute for winning. Even the man in question called 7-9 "BS". And from where we're sitting right now, 7-9 looks likeby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

in that they tease coaches with their talent and what they show in practice, but somehow never come through in a game, or they fail in critical moments. So too, Fisher seems to me to be a "franchise killer" as a coach. His teams' performances and win patterns give an illusion that the team is always on the verge of a breakthrough, and about to turn the corner. But every timeby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

about what Fisher needs to change. And I understand why you don't want to start over. But the ugly is that he absolutely is not going to change who he is, and how he does things. I don't know if he can't or he won't, but it doesn't make any difference either way. He isn't changing, so he'll have to be replaced.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
