Just a stream of consciousness thing and in no particular order...

Will Goff start on opening day? I think it's at least 50-50.

Will Gurley get 1500 yards on the ground? I like his chances.

Will GRob show a significant improvement after 8 weeks with LeCharles Bentley?

Can Higbee be our mini Gronk?

Will Quinn be 100% and return to his elite Pro Bowl status?

WTH will Donald do for an encore? Lol.

If Gaines is 100%, will he make us ask "Janoris who"? Lol.

Will the Seahawks offer Pete Carroll an extension?

How long can Carson Palmer keep playing at a high level?

Which QB will have the best year in '16 among Goff, Wentz, Mariota, and Winston?

WTH will Chip Kelly do with his QB position and situation?

Isn't Romo's health the Cowboy Achilles heel?

How could the Cowboys spend their 2nd on Jaylon Smith, given his scary health situation?

Has Manziel played his last snap in the NFL?

Did CLE get the most bang for their bucks with all those acquired draft picks?

Any possibility that Bradford gets traded this year? Even mid season?

Can the Raiders win their division this year? I'm serious.

Will the Giants regret overspending in FA?

Last, but not least. Will the Rams finally make the playoffs this year under Fisher?

Any and all comments welcome...

Yeah, Dave.

And some of the guys are coming up with some excellent questions that I completely missed, too.

How well will the turf in the Coliseum hold up hosting both USC sporting events and Rams home games?

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I hope but no.
Kick more ass.
Yes.
Yes.
At least one more year! Probably two or three more. His mobility ist his game. His arm won't degenerate over that period.
Winston followed by Goff closely - offensive rookie of year candidate btw along with Zeke Elliot.
He should play Kaep for his system - but maybe will play Gabber. It won't be pretty in other words.
Yes.
No idea - Jerry Jones is an idiot.
Yes. Absolutely.
They had a really smart draft. You cam ser the change in thier analytics and thinking. They've had so many first round busts. That said with their picks available think Jacksonville got good "bang for buck" and so did the Rams. Time will tell I guess.
No. Contract too big. He'll play well though and get a move by keeping Wentz on the pine simply because he's better than him (and better than most people realize - as in a top 10 QB, when healthy)
Yes.
Yes - big time. They're trying to load up for Eli's last hurrah but they lack depth.
Yes.

My speculative answers! Check back in a year to see how I did!

If we're supposed to try to answer, here's my little $0.02:

>Will Goff start on opening day?
Yes 100%.

>Will Gurley get 1500 yards on the ground?
Yes.

>Will GRob show a significant improvement after 8 weeks with LeCharles Bentley?
Yes. He was already showing improvement at the end of 2015 and would have been improved without Bentley, but hopefully will be even better for putting in all the offseason work. I will put the improvement credit at 50% natural experience curve, 45% work ethic, 5% Bentley.

>Can Higbee be our mini Gronk?
No.

>Will Quinn be 100% and return to his elite Pro Bowl status?
Yes, except who cares about Pro Bowl.

>WTH will Donald do for an encore?
He will lead the NFC in sacks as a DT and threaten to break 18.

>If Gaines is 100%, will he make us ask "Janoris who"?
Yes. Gaines will be 100% and the Rams will be better as a team against the pass, which is more important than one player.

>Will the Seahawks offer Pete Carroll an extension?
Yes. I want that clown to stick around long enough for his luck to run out and to see him cry on a 2-14 team.

>How long can Carson Palmer keep playing at a high level?
Palmer will not have a good 2016, most will say because he is injured -- and he will indeed miss most of 2016 -- but his play will be mediocre before injury.

>Which QB will have the best year in '16 among Goff, Wentz, Mariota, and Winston?
Goff.

>WTH will Chip Kelly do with his QB position and situation?
He will choose the worst option in his usual "cut off his nose to spite his face" reaction to critics.

>Isn't Romo's health the Cowboy Achilles heel?
No, Romo will be fine health-wise this year. His choking in a big game will be their achilles heel.

>How could the Cowboys spend their 2nd on Jaylon Smith, given his scary health situation?
They weighed the risk versus potential reward and pulled the trigger.

>Has Manziel played his last snap in the NFL?
Yes.

>Did CLE get the most bang for their bucks with all those acquired draft picks?
If Kessler works out or they can find a QB then yes. Otherwise without a QB it won't matter.

>Any possibility that Bradford gets traded this year? Even mid season?
No. Nobody wants him.

>Can the Raiders win their division this year?
Yes.

>Will the Giants regret overspending in FA?
No.

>Will the Rams finally make the playoffs this year under Fisher?
Yes.

>Will the Rams offer Jeff Fisher an extension?
Yes.

>Will the Rams trade Nick Foles before or after training camp?
No. He will be cut.

>Will Ogletree return in full health and set a Rams tackling record?
He will return in full health but be nicked up all season and not set a tackling record.

>Will the Goff / TA hookup become a thing of legend?
No. It will be good though.

>Will Fisher prove the haters wrong and show that he's a great coach?
No.

"No" on Fisher? Why do you say that considering you also said we'd make the playoffs?

I'm not a Fish hater so maybe I'm wrong and he will convert a lot of folks. But see my Pete Carroll comments above, just winning doesn't change me from hating him. Maybe my answer is just based on haters gonna hate?

I wouldn't be surprised if Roberson beats out Gaines for the starting job. In fact, it would make sense for him to be with the 1s at the start of camp.

Goff is on a better team than Wentz, Mariota and Winston - so Goff should have a better year.

Can't see us making the playoffs, but I'd take 8 wins..

Sure hope Quinn and all our other defensive players that were injured last year return at full strength...if not, it's gonna be a long year...

Well, in your defense, Fisher has a lot if winning to do.

The pieces are there for the OL to be a good unit. They have the RB. They have the QB. I mean what a great young offensive backfield man. WR has some talent that needs to be coached up and maximized, but look how many teams have gone deep into the playoffs without a great WR corps. My only concern is whether the coaching staff is up to snuff on offense and capable of tying it all together.

Defense needs to step the F up right out the gate and carry this team. Pieces are there too, as is the coaching. That unit is the heart of this team and we need them to be great. If they are, everything will start to fall into place from there IMO.
