It's just looks like the 80's all over again to me, which is why I am continuing to advocate for a new coaching staff. I would just hate to see ALL of this talent wasted on a medicore team that maybe makes the playoffs but isn't a threat to go anywhere beyond.

Not sure I agree on Robinson as he lost 6 times in post season, 3 of which to the eventual Superbowl champ. Made the playoffs 6 of 9 years.
Cant say I disagree with that 2nd part though, although I'd like to see how the rest of the season goes. There is way too much talent on this team (or should be with all the moves) to be hovering around mediocre.
I honestly feel we will win the next 4 and have a much better outlook

Joe "Max" Marciano?


I think you're right, based purely on the last time I looked in the mirror. :lol:

The NFCW was a very different division then. Here's his record...

Year Age Tm Lg G W L T W-L% G plyf W plyf L plyf W-L% Rank Notes
1983 48 Los Angeles Rams NFL 16 9 7 0 .563 2 1 1 .500 2
1984 49 Los Angeles Rams NFL 16 10 6 0 .625 1 0 1 .000 2
1985 50 Los Angeles Rams NFL 16 11 5 0 .688 2 1 1 .500 1

And Dickerson was the ONLY reason to watch Robinson's offense in those days.

I just am very concerned that we're going to waste the tremendous amount of talent that we've acquired. Thank god for Snead, that's all I can say.

This is reminding me of recent Vikings teams with Peterson. It's fine and dandy to have a strong running game but it's been said a million times for good reason, you can't be one dimensional. Whether it's too pass heavy or too run heavy, you have to bring something else to the game.

Looking at the stat sheet at the end of the day, Gurley's been impressive. But has he been impressive at the right times? In the Cardinals game for example, he piled up most of his yards in the 4th quarter. Which is good when you're sitting on a lead but my point is, he wasn't doing much early in the game. Certainly not enough to alter the defenses approach and open up the passing game.

Because the way it looks from the totals, the Rams have an awesome running game and still can't pass the ball. Which doesn't make sense.

Start list here:


I have no idea. However, Snead and Stan have access to football people so I would suspect they could come up with some candidates.

We all know Fisher will get the full 5 years, so at this point the discussion is useless. For me, Fisher has to get to 9 wins this season. 9 wins in year 4 doesn't seem too much to ask. Snead/Fisher blew it when they waited so long to fix the OL with some young talent. Now we're stuck waiting for the OL to solidify with our youngsters. I think next year the team might be ready to rock, but with Fisher as HC that doesn't overwhelm me with confidence.

As for Gurley, I'd sure like to see our other RBs take a few shots with the ball. Gurley at 30 carries a game will shorten his career and effectiveness.
