Feels shitty to get eliminated but you know I feel like I can't complain right now as a fan. It's been a pretty good season in a lot of ways. We made some noise in the playoffs in a reload year. By far exceeded expectations and lost to a better team in the Packers who incidentally were the top seed so I'm feeling appreciative of some shit even though I'm disappointed too, but there's gonna be a vent thread so here's a place to discuss the things that went right...
1. Gurley to Akers. I feel like it's a big deal for this offense to finally sort this RB position. It wasn't easy man it took them almost the entire season to get him going but they did. And to have a guy step up and play well on a really big stage on more than one occasion all I can say is Akers is going to be a cornerstone player for this offense over the next several years barring injury and that's a hell of a thing to go our way.
2. Zuerlein to Gay. Talk about pulling a position fill out of your ass. Rams lucked into their kicker of the future. I hope at least. Another thing that is a big deal for a team and something they don't have to burn picks to fix.
3. Whit. How he played this year has sort of blown my mind. To improve from 2019 like he did at his age just all kinds of impressive. We probably won't draft our LT of the future until 2022 when we get our first round pick, but it's looking like we're going to need him next season again and I'm done counting that dude out.
4. Draft. Pretty hot class tbh. Maybe not the highest ceiling class, but it looks full of productive starters. Good signs to see this early and I suspect it will be Snead's best to date.
5. Staley. Thanks for the memories and hope you say something dumb in each of your interviews. Sorry bro.
6. Floyd. I think he just gave us one of the best all-around edge seasons I've seen from the Rams since Winstrom in '99. Some will say Gumby of course but Floyd's game reminds me of Wistrom at his very short peak, that rangy quickness and ability to play an all around game. He just does it all well.
7. OL. There were some pleasant surprises up front. Corbett in particular as a young starter who should get better. Boom as a valuable swing OT. Evans subbing for Edwards looked like he belonged out there too. We need a Center. And I'd be swooping hard on any stud interior OL or LT with feet that I think are being overlooked at any point in the draft.
I'm sure there's a lot more but typing that stuff out made me feel better. Pretty fucking nice ride given all the shit we endured in 2020 eh?
