The issue isn't talent, it's injuries. Ask a Cards fan if they would like to have the Rams record of injuries. If he says the wrong thing by going on about "how all teams have injuries," then quickly set him straight by pointing the real issue---no not all teams have injuries that demolis...
All of those numbers are more of an indication of how the league has favored the passing game IMO. It's not that these QB's are that "good", it's that the league in general is set up to benefit offenses and QB's. Sort of the NFL equivalent of "chicks dig the long ball". But look...
I think there are a lot of factors than play into it. Its not an exact science. But for every one of those guys there are hundreds who don't make it at all. Your odds of finding that "franchise" guy are better if the pedigree is there like Manning's. Then in between the late round picks a...
BUT, as you point out, none of those teams went to the show, with the exception of the fluky 79 team who went in with the worst record (at the time) in Superbowl history. ....... But how do we explain Marino? I'd bet my house that 79 team doesn't go to the dance with Haden under center. They went b...
Dickerson carried the Rams through part of the 80's. Didn't have good quarterback play, but a very good line and better than average defense got them to the playoffs a few times. But never enough to be a serious championship contender. Building around a great running can win you games. But can it w...
Why does it seem like QB play in the NFL is at an all-time low? It doesn't seem that way to me. Six had a QBR over 100.0. Four averaged over 8 yards per attempt. Eleven had 30 or more TDs. And those 11 averaged 33.5 TDs to 11.6 Ints, which is a damn good TD/Int Ratio. Twelve passers had 4,000 yards...

Brock, Kemp and Ferragamo had a great a running back and won 9,10 and 11 games respectively. Then we get Everett and the package was complete but we regressed to 10 wins. Then we all know what happened next. In the next 7 seasons with #11 under center we got 6, 10, 11, 5, 3, 5 and 6 wins. My point ...
Yeah, I know we have more talented players under Fisher than his predecessor had.... ....And how much talent do we really have? If someone wanted to tell me the Rams aren't that talented, how can I disagree based on the record? How can I debate that point?.... ....Plus, how many pro bowlers has the...
Always liked Ferragamo. Should have never let him go the first time.
