Were they really stacked or was it that McVay is so good that it just looked like that?
Their talent level has not decreased. Their secondary & DL have improved since McVay got there. Only thing that has stayed the same is their mediocre ILBs. Their WRs/TEs are nearly the same. Their OLine has gotten a little worse, while they don’t have the top end talent they did a few years ago at RB, they have more depth there.
Goff might not be the only reason, he was the main reason. He single-handily lost games against the Niners, Dolphins, & Seattle this season.
Losing talent won’t matter as long as they continue to gain talent in middle rounds like they have been doing.
I think Stafford is overrated, but I do think he’s better than Goff. I wouldn’t be shocked if Goff isn’t on a team 5 years from now.
I want to downplay the hell out of the Rams, too, but I just can’t. I admire how they run things over there, unfortunately, but I’m still rooting for their downfall.
