I think as Rams fans we've been beat down so long a .500 season is looking pretty dang good. But at some point you want more than a .500 season. I'm not sure we can do better than .500 with Jeff Fisher. He's great at evaluating defensive talent. And he knows his running backs. But in today's NFL going with a bottom tier offense with a bottom tier quarterback and bottom tier receivers isn't going to get you far.

I know he's never put a high priority on the passing game. But he'll probably always be stuck in the mud with good defenses and bad offenses. Win one game, lose one game. Win two games, lose one game. Win one game, lose two games. When its all said and done we're sitting at 7 or 8 wins. Maybe 9 in a good year. Maybe 6 in a bad year.

I guess its better than the 15-65 rut we were in. But in the 4th year you start to want more. Not the little teasers we get now and then to make us think we're almost ready to turn that proverbial corner. Only to have another bad offensive game that the defense can't make up for. I don't see 10 wins in this team. In fact, I think they got work to do to win 9. When its all said and done I see 8 wins. Right where many put us before the season began.

Thing is, he has tried. Quick, Stedman Bailey, Jared Cook, and Austin were all drafted or acquired to help the passing offense by this stage.

Bailey, Cook and Austin were all brought in during the same off season. That was the era of "wide open offense" that got shut down after only 5 games, never to be seen again.
Austin wasnt used properly, Bailey is unnecessary and Cook is asked to block/play traditional TE when he's a hybrid WR
We've loaded up with defensive players that fit the scheme yet on offense, its seems a mish mosh of players/scheme

If Fisher is willing to make that change, great. If he isnt, and insists its his way then I'd say its time to move on.
Its an offensive league and with salary cap we can only keep the core D players together for very long
Window isnt open very long and IMO its open RIGHT NOW

^ This. And draft a stud WR while your hooking up with that new OC in LA/OC.
