They don’t have enough difference makers especially with Tre hurt. Oliver is the only one that comes to mind. No stud DE’s, no stud LBs (Milano is very good not great). Let’s find a real real linebacker like Fred Warner from the 49ers. He makes plays all over the field and likes contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 As George Allen used to say; "the future is now!" If it works they will be geniuses. if it fails they will be expensive also ran's with a questionable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better question, would you take a super bowl win knowing you have a generational talent at qb for 10-15 yrs and possibly sacrifice half of his career getting out of cap hell and overcoming not having draft picks to support him or would you like to build around him for those 10-15 yes and possibly win one?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Rams’ model is high risk, and high and short-lived reward.

Two teams have a chance to win the Super Bowl this year. 30 teams have a 0% chance. Guess which group the Rams are in. They haven't been in a "mortgage the future" mode for half a decade. They had some good draft picks andthen started trading first round picks for established talent (much like the Bills did for Diggs); however, they still maintained most of their draft picks. They didn't truly start handicapping themselves in future drafts until the last year or so, and the upcoming draft, in which they only have two 7th round picks, will be the first draft in which they will really be affected in a big way. I have no idea how the strategy will play out long term. We will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers' "proven track record" led to exactly zero SB appearances in the last decade. 9-7 ain't sexy. That is the model. Draft a franchise QB, and draft/develop young talent around them for the long haul, and be in the hunt for a SB every year. The Steelers had 3 SB appearances, 2 SB wins, and haven’t had a losing season in 19 years. The NFL has really become a matchup league. I think you are better off trying to have a sustained successful model to make the playoffs every year, and then try to get a path of favorable matchups to win the SB. The Rams model is just risky, and it is no guarantee that it will work. They should have lost last week, when their heavily Leveraged defense choked. And, as constructed, there is no chance they could beat the Bills or Chiefs. They are lucky they won’t have to play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They traded away their first round picks for talent; however, they still retained most of their draft picks every year. That’s not mortgaging the future. That didn’t start until the last year or so and this upcoming draft will be the first that will have been truly impacted. So, like I said, we’ll see how things go from here.
