We’re clueless fake fans now? Really? lol What does that say about LA fans, then? How exactly did a city with that many people manage to lose not one but two franchises? And now they ‘deserve’ to have another football team? Ok, buddy.

As to the actual topic, I’m not a fan of their draft strategy at all. Moving down from #2 was the obvious right decision but everything after that wasn’t great imo. I liked the Jenkins pick but other than that, we’re getting more (on paper) average talent to compete with the average-to-below-average talent already on the roster. Hopefully there are some positive surprises in there to build around before the 2 first rounders next year.

Translated we know Fisher needs at least 14 years to turn things around.

For the clueless fake Rams fans in St. Louis, the team will most likely play in another venue such as the Rose Bowl or the LA Coliseum until Farmer Field is built.

The Rams have to decide nothing but the end of the year. The issue will go to arbitration and the team afterward will most likely buy out the remaining years of the lease and then go back to LA. There is no advantages for the team to stay in St. Louis. The stadium situation there is a mess, lukewarm fan interest and its a tiny market.

The rams are staying in st.louis.Oh,Im sorry,thats too “easy”of a statement to make,yet accurate,for someone who actually LIVES in st.louis and knows that the city and the rams HAVE to decide by the end of the year,as per lease agreement,on how to pay for upgrades to the edward jones dome.Jesus,LA fans,get on with your life,and forget about the team that left,as I had to w/the football cardinals.

You must know a construction company that can build a new stadium in one year. Moron! ”

Yeah, Thermal’s timeline is more than little unrealistic. Personally, I’m hoping that the Rams take a couple more years — say 2015 — “[to turn it around]”

That way, we’ve got a halfway decent team that plays in the Rose Bowl for a season while the final touches are being put on the downtown stadium.

The Rams in St. Louis are irrelevant whether they are winning or losing. The team needs to be back in LA where they belong.

I think Les skipped Step One in his rebuilding plan… Get Sam Bradford some help at WR.

(Editors Note): Brian Quick does not qualify as “help”.

What’s he supposed to say; “Well we had a plan but we haven’t done a very good job of executing it so far and I’m hoping that it all works out.”

Have you ever heard a coach or GM say their plan isn’t working?

It’s refreshing to see immediate progress in adding to a decent young core group of players. NEW atti ” TUDE”. Whiners had their one in ten year experience, Rams win the West… This year….

The Rams need Less Snead and more quality players.

(OK – that was a cheap shot – Snead’s probably a good and capable guy – every NFL draftee and free agent is a crap shoot – I just couldn’t resist the pun.

And actually going for volume – especially on draftees – by trading back was probably a wise move… get as many young players in camp and let them fight it out.)

It’s too bad the way the Rams started last season, nothing went right.

I look for them to make some noise this year.

Should be a definite improvement on defense. The offensive line had got to improve or they will be averaging 11 poiints per game again
