Sorry guys, I need to vent...a lot
We lost Saffold, Finn, Dahl, we have no viable FS, no starting guards, no third tackle, no nickle corner, need another OLB, and still lack a #1WR. We will have an LT and QB coming off major knee injuries this year. We have many more holes now, then when this offseason began. Also we will be relying on Bailey to step up and Austin to step up (which I have all of confidence they can, but they still haven't proven it). We do have an extra first round pick, but with so many holes to fill, along with the overall lack of depth, I feel like it's going to be another bad year.
Even if the draft breaks exactly how the Rams want. They get someone like Watkins who starts at guard, add another guard in round 2-4, draft a DB at #13, draft a FS in rounds 2-3, Ray-Ray is ready to step-up, we will still be counting on basically, 2 rookies on the O-line, a rookie DB, a rookie FS, a 2nd year player at OLB, and hoping that our LT and QB come back and don't get hurt. If all of those things breaks the Rams way then at least we will fill those positions.
Now, let's say, that not just everything breaks right for the Rams, but that also the players they draft will end up having very good to great careers. They're still rookies this year. That means for the first 8 or so games they will be getting burned while they learn. That means with all of the rookie players that we can probably expect to lose at least 4 of those games, and probably more, before they put it all together. We'll probably be much better in the second half and have a decent overall year, say 7-9 again. Then perhaps we will be ready to compete in 2015, assuming we don't have a lot of injuries or lose a lot of free agents.
Well, I'm tired of the losing. 10 long years of losing. I'M TIRED OF IT! We have all been loyal to this team. I have spent my time, my love, my money on this team. I have seen every crappy game and defended them. I've seen the demise of this once proud franchise during the GSOT years to today and kept coming back for more. But every year I keep thinking that next year will be the year they turn it around, then they lose and then think next year will be the year. I really thought the Rams would put it all together in 2014. But with all of the holes and youth on the team, it'll be very unlikely. Then it's another year of hoping the next year is the year. I'll probably continue coming back for more, because I freakin' love this team.
I just want to win. Rams, will you please win? Please, please, please? Also, I need some hope here. Something to look forward to. I need something that will tell me we can win this season. Some holes filled somewhere. Somthing that makes me think we don't have to start 4-6 rookies.
Edit note: I do feel better after getting that off my chest. I wonder what would have happened if I posted this on Rams talk?
