NFC West projected starters for 2022 NFL season: Rams, 49ers well put together; Seahawks underrated

Sometimes performing this exercise makes me see a team differently. I have less faith in the Cardinals, and it has nothing to do with Murray. It's hard to see where the real strengths are on this team, and there are too many holes.

Yikes!

Yikes!

Yeah, but Murphy allowed an 87.2 passer rating last season (according to Pro Football Reference). You expect Wilson and Gladney to have their best football in front of them.

It's worth remembering that the median passer rating in 2021 was 92 (Josh Allen!! How is that possible??). The passing game is so good these days.

Yep Murphy was better than average by a few hairs. He allowed like a 90 rating his second year too.

I’ll take it!

Why am I reading rubbish that says Drew Brees is probably coming out of retirement but that the Cardinals are one of his most likely destinations?

Is this bored writers?

I'd be thrilled with "Drew Brees, offensive consultant", I wouldn't be so thrilled with a 43 year old, noodle armed QB that is almost certain to get horrifically hurt the first time Aaron Donald "accidentally" turns him into a pretzel.

Aaron Donald does nothing by accident, don't you know like most players in the NFL, he frequently basis his game off the cold hard facts of PFF

I went to Sofi last year and I wasn't impressed. Poor food choices, expensive beer, no AC, and the fans weren't really all that loud for a division matchup.

That was only week 4.

Most became much later in the year or after the SB.

I mean...the LA Times estimated that 6,000 fans showed up for the parade and 20,000 for their fest (and that might have been a stretch based on visual observation.

Every time I go to extremely populated areas throughout LA and Orange County (when I remember to do so), I might see ONE person the entire day in Rams gear. During that time, I'll see many in Lakers, Dodgers, and Raiders gear. I'd estimate that I see 50x more Raiders gear than Rams gear...even after a Super Bowl win. I think @Ouchie-Z-Clown, @TJ, @cheesebeef, and @daves

I've seen a lot more Rams fans in my area (Torrance, Redondo Beach, PV, Manhattan Beach, etc.). Raiders still dominate in # of fans though. I also live in a neighborhood in which one of my neighbors owns a custom Rams school bus.

The food at SoFi sucks. My 8-year-old son, who'll eat anything not stuck to the floor, told me it was gross.

Agree with all this. You wouldn’t know rams won super bowl this year down here in OC.

It was awful, there was zero selection, and did I say it was awful?

Still a Raiders town.

But the nfl desperately wants to open up that market. Betting that has a lot to do with all the moves the rams and bolts have made the past couple seasons.
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see an all Los Angeles super bowl actually.

My local Target doesn't even have Rams gear at all. And it's sold out...there isn't even a rack for it. Crazy enough, they carry Chargers gear though.

If you're in OC, like me, that's why they have Chargers gear and not much for Rams. Chargers practiced here and I think the plan was to hopefully have OC embrace them as a bridge to San Diego. I know most that I work with are Chargers fans and not really Rams fans. It's weird, too, because the Rams played at Angel's stadium before they left for St. Louis.
