Maybe it's time for Stan to follow his buddy Jerry's lead and grab a coach he will hate in 5 years from the college ranks to light a fire under this offenses ass.

i agree it's coaching, yet josh didn't turn the rams around... it's belichick.

Word has it Belichick let's coaches coach as long as they are productive. IDK I'd J Daniels I said a solution but he'd be a move in the right direction. He has done a great job with the limited weapons he has had at his disposal IMO.

just sayin,' he didn't work miracles when with the rams... the broncos were 10th in offensive scoring the year before he took over, dropped to 21st and 19th his two years as their hc.. the framework has to be in place imo, talent too of course, belichick has provided that framework in spades. that said, i'd take jm in a heartbeat over what we've had the past few years...

Josh McDaniels is a good offensive coordinator, but a Head Coach, not so much. Look at Martz he was also a good coordinator, but head guy, not so much. Being a head coach has a much different job description. In my opinion Martz and Mc Daniels can't help but trip over their king sized egos.

IMO this has everything to do with the QB's and the OC and nothing with Gurley.

[Hacksaw_64]

last year gurley ranked near the very bottom in target % per snap played and more than a few believed it was because of his newly repaired knee, that the coaches didn't want to expose him to the type of hits receivers take, open space hits, which i thought was a pretty tough sell.

flash forward to 2016 and gurley again ranks near the very bottom in target % per snap played, 28th among the top 32 rbs... the average target % for the top backs is 9.6%, gurley is at about half of that at 4.9%.

i'm not suggesting that gurley needs to become marhsall faulk 2.0 out of the backfield, or even one of the top targeted backs (for example ware 32%, d.murray 28%, forsett 21%, deangelo 12%, etc.) but c'mon, you're going to throw to him once in the seattle game?

anyway, i think it's just another example of the rams offensive brain trust really not having any idea of what they're doing, just another example of them being in way over their heads when it comes to offensive scheming.

gurley is a playmaker, one of the premier playmakers in the league, and the best the rams can come up with is running him ad nauseum into a stacked box hoping that he'll break one every 10-15 poundings? good grief.

Yeah its just bizarre. Gurley showed nice hands catching the ball out of the backfield. I was making this exact comment during his one catch during the game about the lack of targets.

That's one of those throws that needs to come out real quick an accurate, neither of which are Keenums forte.

Your liable to get Gurley killed if you float a ball late or behind him with Keenum. What in essence should be a safe play turns into a disaster. I'm really hoping this is why they aren't targeting him. It does make some sense, considering the QB's limitations.

On the other hand, Goff can already make this throw in his sleep. He has the realease and accuracy to hit Gurley in stride. It makes the case to start Goff because it immediately unlocks a threat we didn't really have before.

Did you see Gurley catch the ball in the Pro Bowl? I think Russel Wilson was throwing it to him. Gurley was a serious weapon outside with a QB that could throw dimes... Goff to Gurley *drool*

Once we get Goff and our new OC in here methinks things are going to look a lot different.

This is the frustrating...we can all see what needs to happen. Yes Fisher is the coach, but by gawd nothing is changing under his watchful eye.

I will say I am ready for an immediate change, I want to see this team win again. Right now I feel like a guy staying in a bad marriage to spare the kids any grief
