SI Writer Says St. Louis Has an ‘Uphill Battle’ to Keep Rams

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Don Banks, Senior Writer at Sports Illustrated, said he believes the St. Louis Rams will be in Los Angeles by the 2016 NFL season.

“I’m not hopeful, I’m not optimistic,” Banks said about the possibility of the Rams staying in St. Louis. “I have to be honest. I think if I had a dollar to put on it, I see the Rams in LA in 2016.”

KMOX’s Scott Warmann asked Banks if the possibility of the Rams staying in St. Louis looks better now than it did eight months ago. Banks said, “Yes, but not significantly better,” because Rams owner Stan Kroenke will do everything in his power to have his team in LA.

The recent judicial approval of not needing a vote to use public money to fund a possible riverfront stadium might be for next the team to move to St. Louis, Banks said.

“I think the development of not needing a public vote is a positive,” Banks says. “It’s not an end-all. It doesn’t solve all the problems that St. Louis has to keep the Rams.”

He compared the situation to the Cleveland Browns’ situation in the 1990s, when owner Art Modell piratically moved the team to Baltimore overnight.
Banks was in town Wednesday at Rams camp in Earth City, Mo., and said the feel he got from the team for this upcoming season looks bright.

ESK takes over and hires new staff top to bottom. New staff has the team arrow pointing up.
ESK see's an opportunity and aligns himself to succeed. His foresight and planning is a sign that he and his executive managers are all on the ball. They are ahead of this game, driving the car so to speak.
At this point I am extremely pleased he is under control as opposed to the former. If this whole thing was a ruse I reserve the right to change my mind.

Haven't seen a steady, consistent flow of info on Foles. Was reading some reports suggesting he's struggling. Anyone have a feel for the situation?

I'm beyond tired of the constant Bradford comparisons/criticisms though. The last article I read went out of the way to say how much better Foles uses his height. Not that Foles uses his height, but that he's better at being tall than Bradford.

Overall, the camp reports so far seem pretty anemic.

First preseason game is one week from today, you can see for yourself.

You gonna come down for Oxnard?
