What is the biggest question mark you have right now with the 2023 Rams?

For me; How do we get under the cap? Is it all via restructure , or… Do we trade or release one of our cornerstones to get under the cap?

Floyd, Ramsey, Donald, Kupp, or Stafford… do we part with one, or more?

It’s a real hard call on cap.I’ve stopped guessing.

You made me think though & with The Rumors it’s making me reflected back to Jared Goff both ways.
When The Rams traded the picks to get that #1 pick overall April 16,2016

Thought was when,where & timing. The Jared Goff thing for Stafford came right away.
Demoff,Snead & Mcvay didn’t stand by Jared Goff. Just came to mind that the Ramsey thing is real.
The Rams need a Pass Rusher & was tryout trade to get that DE from Carolina. The Rams have paid in the past as well.

The Floyd Free Agent signing & resign was both times surprising.
The A” Jackson thing was surprising as well & then trading Bobby Trees

How will fans.....the fans extremely hard on Raheem Morris.......pull a 180? Will they credit the new position coaches? New players? Will it be because some drastic change in philosophy like playing with a lead?

:sarcasm:

I kid, I kid. My questions are.... will the talking heads blame the downfall of SF or Philly or Dallas instead of the resurgence of the Rams?

And will they make it a 'renewed commitment from Sean McVay' (because of anger the way 2022 played out) instead of much better health and continuity.

It's never Occams razor because that's never a good story.

Will the Rams solve their Offensive Line problems? For Matthew Stafford’s sake (Health & Success!) I certainly hope so!!!

Will the Rams continue the all-in/win now approach (kicking cap $ down the road, signing FAs, making trades), or will they adopt a more passive/long game approach?

It's the Offensive Line, please make some serious changes because depending on the same cast of castoffs will have a similar result.

Will Rams FINALLY draft a stud TE weapon and then actually develop him and USE him?

Made me crazy watching the playoff teams with all those great TE weapons. Sigh…

My best guess would be that the Rams restructure Kupp to get to the required CAP, then try to wait until the draft to proceed with trading a few guys. At the draft I don't see us moving 'cornerstone' players outside of Floyd, and then perhaps some under-performers/injury risks in Higbee & Van Jefferson. One of Brian Allen or Coleman Shelton heading out seems likely, either of which will create a couple $Mil. in CAP space. Of course, if the Rams choose to get deeply engaged in free agency, then they'll be forced to restructure others as well as make some new CAP casualty concessions.
All teams have until March 16 before they must be under the CAP, ... and it's going to be painful.

My questions are

Will they get the OL fixed?

Will they get the running game back to be effective?

Need those two things to get better or fixed to see the offense really take back off.

If the Rams grab an ER in FA or via trade, will Morris stop with the 8 yard cushions on 3rd and 5?

Will they protect Stafford and open holes for the run game?

Will they get some new help for AD with the pass rush?

CB? and CB?

Like so many here, I'm hoping this is the Rams primary focus. I'd prefer getting a young new elite Edge rusher thru a trade, just don't want to rely on a rookie draftee getting the job done as Donald ages.
At least 1 immediate starter quality offensive lineman MUST come out of this draft, my preference is a LG/C .
The Rams do have some decent CB depth, but there is no doubt that Ramsey needs additional quality help starting opposite him.
With both several draft picks & players that might be traded, I believe we have the ammunition to get the job done if handled properly. jmo.

If he disguises his defense next year, I will be all on board with Raheem.

Will the majority of the ROD Ram fans really get behind the Rams and support them, or will they bitch and moan over everything they personally disagree with?

I think my biggest questions are surrounding the coaching staff.

Who will fill the holes and can they be the difference in how this team performs.

I get it, coaches coach but players have to execute.

Can these new guys get better performance out of the players under contract? There’s no way to plug in all pros in all the holes we have.
