Hebert19 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 That's what we should be looking at. They had cap issues. Terrible team and got their rookie qb that they didn't want to start. Then they were forced to. They had a stud on D (maybe Edmund's is ours) The second year they drafted well. Signed the likes of woods and others...and bam playoffs. Year 3 they had even more in caps space because of the cuts and trades they made in year 1 and this year they have the dream team roster. Year 1 is all about seeing if your franchise QB can learn and develop then you get him weapons with the next draft and FA. Benjamin and crew will be long gone next year. Just my half full on this situation. Have to blow up to get better long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otagoyellow Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I'm with you, but man does it feel like I've heard this song before over the last 17+ years. I'm still tapping my toe to the beat though, so count me in along with the hopeful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 What chaps my arse is they didn’t accomplish this last year. Hate that we fluked into the playoffs and drafted lower. We could have used some of those picks this year and been further along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The tune may be familiar but the melody is different. We never drafted a QB in the top ten before this year. One has to have faith they have the right guy in Allen, and that McD has his Kuechly in Edmunds. Then you go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eanyills Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I don’t think our situation is like the Rams at all. Fisher was one of the most abysmal offense coaches of all time but that team had stacked talent at every position on defense. McVay and Snead come in inheriting good players and great depth all across the defense. So Snead has tons of defensive capital to work with and McVay gets to focus almost exclusively on the offense. I also don’t think McD is anywhere near McVay’s class. He is legitimately one of the best coaches in the league.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Gurley was a top 5 pick, they acquired a top 10 pick wr, Goff threw 43 tds his last year in college, and they might have the best young offensive mind in the nfl. If anything we are in the Jeff Fisher era of the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 OP is assuming that all draft picks and signings will work out. We all know what happens when you assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ya. And would you waste a top 5 pick on a RB? And yes Goff had a better college career but Allen has more talent so who's to say he can't make the leap. Plus we have 10 more picks next year already without dumping salaries at deadline this year. We also are developing a ton of young players due to necessity right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins Malone Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Well we can hope. Agree with other poster it seems we are always expecting this team to finally start constantly moving forward but here we are again. Imo they need to find out what they have in Allen even behind this trash o line. Peterman should be done there is no reason to play him anymore.
