Now that the team has jumped the Shark,
what now? How close is this team
to being a Wildcard-Level team?That would be Ten wins. Not elite,
just playoff level.Can they be a Ten win team
next year?
Why or why not?What do they need to do?

vThey are a year away. They need better luck with injuries. 😉
AgamemnonThey are a year away. They need better luck with injuries.
I agree with that.
They also need better DE depth.
Along with other stuff they need.
Right, I figure they will do something with all their cap space and draft capitol, in a good draft, that sets up to meet almost any need for any team. We don’t always get that in a draft.
AgamemnonSorry that people are ignoring your question and instead spouting off about their opinions on the state of the Rams.
To answer your question, it all depends on your point of reference. For example, for me in Bennington, VT, the Rams are 1058.3 miles away. For you in Morgantown, WV, they are 647.7 miles away.
Hope that helps.
Seriously, this team is a good o-line, a competent QB and a good WR away from contention. How far away that is depends. If the raw materials to fix the o-line are already in place and just need experience and to get healthy, then the distance away from contention is a little shorter. As you know you’ll get varying opinions on that but I think they need a LT.
I think it’s safe to say that the QB they need is probably not on the roster. Neither is the WR. Obviously the Rams luck would have to dramatically change for them to fix both in a
single offseason. Could the light turn on for Foles and Robinson in that time? Yeah but I don’t think it’s likely. Doesn’t look like there are decent FA options for QB so the Rams will have to take their chances in the draft. A good WR should be easy enough to get through the draft or FA, but Snisher hasn’t demonstrated that they know what a good one looks like yet. So I think they are most likely at least another year away from contention. If they get really lucky perhaps they could contend next season but I think that’s a tall order as of now.They need mid-grade QB play. That and some health should be enough to get to 10.
They should be able to keep most of the components of the defense together with their salary cap space.
I’m assuming they get improvement out of half of all the olinemen they picked up the last two years.To get to more than 10 I think they’d also need one really good, legit WR.
QB is an imperative.
I don’t believe the QB or the wr are currently on the roster.
Maybe they can trade one of their seconds for someone’s number 2 QB. Whose got a good one?

One of things that is SOOO disappointing iz…
Fisher was set up to succeed. I posted about that back
when Spags was jettisoned. Fisher had Quinn and Long
and cap space and he had all those high picks from the RG3 trade.They made critical mistakes with Finnegan, Cook, Jake Long, Britt,
and not drafting or signing a top WR and not drafting a QB behind Bradford,
etc, and so forth.Thats one view.
The other view is, every regime makes personnel mistakes
and it was an annual InjuryFest that derailed Fisher’s Rams
the last three years. Just awful luck. Bradford, the OLine, etc.I dunno.
