It is simplistic. Like the video Dieter posted about the 5 teams who can win the Super Bowl.
The Rams were the favorite after getting McDuffie and Watson. They are the heavy favorite now with Garrett. It doesn't mean they'll win it all. It just means they should win it all. And it doesn't change anything. Like Snead and McVay say, you gotta roll that boulder up the hill......every year.

There are naysayers all over the place.

"Now they have to win. ".
Like, being the favorite, they didn't have to win? WTF?

"If this doesn't end in a Lombardi, it's a major fail!!!!"
Really? So if they don't win it this year....let's say, lose the SB......but win it in 2027 and 2028, it's a fail?

"They gotta stay healthy!!!"
No shit? Like, without Garrett, they could have overcome multiple injuries? Every team has to stay healthy. Or more accurately, relatively healthy.

"The pressure is on Matt Stafford now!"
Yeah, he had no pressure prior to this acquisition!!!

It's real simple. The Rams should win it all. Let's see if they can do it. I'll say this much......this beats the hell out of wondering how high our draft picks will be next year!!!

Until I get to see him actually play a game with the Rams jersey on, it just doesn't resonate with me yet. My mind will change, until then I can't wrap my mind around him playing for the team.

And then of course if they win it all they get the, they should have won. No big deal.

Nothing wrong with that. They should win it all. If they do win it all, they did what they were supposed to do. There's no shame in that. I'll love saying, "yeah, the Rams did what they were supposed to do. Won it all. Now watch them do it again, mofos!!!."

Too funny. Like any of them would not like it if their team demonstrated that they want and expect to win and will do everything they can to make it happen. Sucks for them.

The Rams have tried it both ways. Keep those first round picks and make selections.

From 2006 to 2015, they make 10 first round selections. 6 times in the top ten. 2 hits. 4 times in the top 5. 1 Hit. By my math I see a 40% hit rate in the first round.

Absolutely, fuck them picks.

With the picks they didn't make they got Brandin Cooks, Jalen Ramsey (2), Matt Stafford (2), Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett. 5 hits / 7 picks. 100% on hits, 71% on the number given up (5 of 7).

Damn right, fuck them picks.

No I didn't. I also omitted Alec Ogletree too. Was only looking at the first pick of the Rams draft. You get 2 picks you better hit on one. But I'd think that would be the first pick.

Its harder to win it all when you are SUPPOSED to win it all.

Just ask the Back to Back champs. NOthing is ever easy. Makes it that much sweeter.

Its hard to compare those Rams front office types back in the Stl day vs what we have now. There were some dumb MFers running the show back then. Not calling Snead dumb either, he was a young first time GM back then and Fisher had too much power.
We got Garret because the opportunity presented itself and the Rams took it. Its hard to go against what the Rams are trying to do, as in everything they can to win.
Still, I always like the Rams players who were only Rams. Jack Youngblood and Slater are my favorites.
One thing though, a really good team year in and year out like the Rams currently are, their first round picks are not all that different from high 2nd round picks.
This front office we have right now would win their share of Super Bowls just standing pat and making their picks IMO.
Next season is lining up to be a fantastic one to watch. 99 was awesome but kinda came out of nowhere. 2026, beating teams into submission where they can not do a thing about it has its own sort of appeal. Now just have to do it.
