LOS ANGELES RAMS
Ceiling: 8-8. Jared Goff might be, uhhhhh, uninspiring to the masses. But if he can absorb the techniques and scheme that Sean McVay imparted on Kirk Cousins ... why not .500 ball in Los Angeles? The "fight for L.A." will go the Rams' way with the resurgence of Todd Gurleyand the emergence of Cooper Kupp. The defense merely needs to perform like it did early in 2016, before the putrid offense wore it out by year's end.
Floor: 3-13. Loved the signing of Andrew Whitworth, but if his 35-year-old body says it's had enough, then McVay's offense is in trouble. Goff's pocket awareness might not be nil, but it could stand to improve a notch or three. Liked the Sammy Watkins deal, but if his foot doesn't respond ... ugh. Injuries could really hurt this roster; deep is not a word you hear much to describe it.
Tipping point: Please, Vince Ferragamo, Eric Dickerson and Jack Youngblood, don't let Aaron Donald's holdout bleed into the season. Pull some rank. (Actually, Dickerson may not be the best person to ask, here ...)
