    FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd believes the Rams are poised to bounce back in 2023, primarily because the tandem of McVay and Stafford is the second-best of any coach-quarterback combo in the NFL.

    .

    “It’s a head coach-quarterback league,” Cowherd said Monday. “Quarterback is probably 60% of it, coach is probably 40% of it. Brady-Belichick, Reid-Mahomes. People have just decided that the LA Rams off a bad season are done. Well, Arizona’s a tire fire in their division, the NFC’s weaker, San Francisco doesn’t quite know who the quarterback’s gonna be – they’re all young – and Seattle, I don’t think is going to duplicate a Geno Smith magical year, not to that level. But if you look at what wins in the NFL, it’s a wealthy, non-meddling owner: check. A dominating defensive line presence: check. A great weapon, Cooper Kupp, who was getting MVP consideration: check. An offensive coach: check. And a star quarterback: check.

    “Outside of Andy Reid and Mahomes, let’s take them off the board, what is the best – (the Rams) also have 11 picks, so they’ve got a chance to find some gems in the draft – what is the best quarterback-coach combo in the NFL? … Stafford and McVay are No. 2. They are.”

    About a week ago, sports talker Rich Eisen hosted Super Bowl-winning player and current Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce. They talked about a number of topics, but one topic that stood out involved Eisen asking Kelce which team was more likely to make the playoffs this year. The New England Patriots or the Los Angeles Rams?

    .

    The interaction can be watched below, and the topic comes up about two minutes and thirty seconds into the video.

    What’s More Likely: Eagles’ Jason Kelce Talks NFL Draft, Pats, Rams, Lamar & More | Rich Eisen Show (The Rich Eisen Show)</p>

    [They discuss the Rams at about 2:32 in: ]

    As mentioned above, Eisen and Kelce both pick LA.</p>

    He takes a couple beats to decide, but Kelce says it all comes down to the division and he says that right now (and of course this can change by the start of the season) the NFC West seems like an easier division to navigate than the AFC East. It makes sense. In theory, the New York Jets will have Aaron Rodgers, the Dolphins made the playoffs last year and just traded for Jalen Ramsey, the Buffalo Bills have Josh Allen. It’s hard to believe, but on paper Bill Belichick’s team does seemingly look like the weakest team in that division, for now.

    Rich Eisen has been standing by the theory that the Rams are not tanking. He is preaching what the Rams organization is preaching. While Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald are on the roster (and healthy), the team cannot truly tank. With those studs healthy and wrecking havoc on opposing teams come gameday, the team could quickly rebound from last year’s debacle.
