Remember 1999? Rams came off a terrible season and hit it hard, adding:
1. OC Mike Martz.
2. OG Timmerman
3. RB Faulk for a round 2 pick
4. WR Torry Holt (impact wideout in draft)
Then they had a QB on their roster that nobody expected to play well come out and light the league on fire in Warner.
This year they added:
1. HC Sean McVay and other quality offensive staff
2. OT Whitworth
3. WR Watkins for a round 2 pick
4. WR Kupp (impact wideout in draft)
Game one we had a QB on our roster, and ok he was a high draft pick but still, who came out and lit the first opponent on fire.
Both in 99 and now we have people struggling to process it, going immediately to the schedule as the obvious rationale for what they're seeing. We see a team that has swagger building fast, where the confidence was evident even before game 1 just like there was in 99.
Just an interesting parallel in things I think. I then find myself with that thought in my head "is it possible for that to happen again, for our Rams to go from nobodies to the best team in this league?" Followed by "Yes. Yes it can happen and IT WILL DAMMIT..!!! BARTENDER ANOTHER KOOL-AID AND KEEP 'EM COMIN..!!!
