Hey, Kevin, we haven’t had a winning season since we hired you.
yeah. hopefully his job is on notice too.
I am also concerned about Quinn. I am delighted that draft is deep there, but not delighted that the Rams don’t have a 1st round pick.
a healthy quinn graded out i think as the best 4-3 de in 2013. if quinn was healthy yeah. i wouldn’t be as worried. not gonna have an elite defense without an elite edge rusher. that’s a huge hit. you don’t just replace him even with a high first rounder. you draft someone and hope like hell you get lucky.
if it really all falls on goff, then you hope he’s that rare qb who can make his supporting cast look better. otherwise, you better hope these young guys figure it out.
at the very least you get a new coordinator. and i would even evaluate whether a new oline coach is needed. it’s important that they get that oline to even above average.
i have doubts about the future of this defense. quinn is not who he was. outside of donald, i think there are question marks on this defensive line. except for maybe brockers.
the secondary is also a big question mark. they haven’t been able to replace jj and mcleod adequately. maybe they’re able to develop some younger guys.
and ryan unlike goff has julio jones and an excellent offensive line. in retrospect perhaps the rams should have drafted matthews instead and left grob for the falcons. or maybe boudreau needs to go.
the rams are going to have to revamp that offensive line and get some real targets. or at least one legitimate superstar target for goff. OR. maybe gurley bounces back and becomes the superstar running back we thought he was. i’m hoping this was a sophomore slump, and he refocuses and gets back on track. a matt ryan caliber qb with a superstar running back would be hard to stop. but again you need a top offensive line. which the falcons have but the rams sorely lack.
the one thing. the only thing i can think of is fisher knows changes are coming. that’s just unavoidable. so he’s trying to tow a fine line between acknowledging he’s the one with final say and preparing to make changes in order to save his job.
and i wouldn’t put it past fisher to knock snead off a sinking ship to save himself. wouldn’t put it past any of them really.
it’s a game of thrones.
what i want.
well i don’t want fisher to be fired. i want him to succeed and for the rams to succeed. but i am not confident that can happen at this point.
what i think needs to happen.
i think fisher needs to be fired. i don’t think fisher can succeed under these circumstances. i think at some point things need to be changed. i know that’s not a popular opinion here, but i do think change for the sake of change can sometimes be good. i think things have become stagnant. i don’t think you can call it exactly this group had become comfortable with losing. i think that’s not accurate, but it’s hard for me to describe it any other way. maybe they’re too comfortable with jeff. i don’t know.
what i think will happen.
i think he’s gone. part of me thinks snead is safe. but i’m not sure. but it sounds like at least one of them is gone if not both. i’m nearly certain that they’re not both coming back. someone is getting thrown under the bus. it’s all very strange.
