The bottom of the barrel – The St. Louis Rams
The St. Louis Rams are looking at another dreadful season in 09′. They are one of the worst teams in the NFL – just a few short years ago the Rams were one of the most exciting teams in the history of the league.
An entire overhaul of the team will need to take place – besides running back Stephen Jackson – if the Rams ever expect to be playoff contenders again. This is a big process and will take time.
The St. Louis Rams have only scored 7 total points through the first two weeks of the 2009 football season. Having been blanked by the Seahawks in Seattle (28-0, couldn’t get much worse), the team traveled to Washington in week 2, carrying higher hopes.
QB Marc Bulger and Kyle Boller are nearly identical when it comes to their stats — which means it doesn’t really matter which is in the game because the chance of the Rams winning doesn’t improve.
Defense is not known to be their strong point, and without an effective offensive present, it’ll be extremely difficult for this team to win many games. They can’t stop the run nor can they stop the pass. I expect some really big scores against them this year.
The only player the Rams have worth the price of a ticket is RB Steven Jackson. Jackson is averaging nearly 5 yards per rushing attempt in 09′. Jackson’s best season up to this date was in 06′ when he rushed for over 1,500 yards and 13 touchdowns.
It’s safe to say the Rams will get a high draft pick in the 10′ draft. One could only wonder where the Rams should begin in rebuilding. Perhaps a young quarterback to build the franchise around. Steven Jackson isn’t getting any younger and it’s a shame his career is being wasted on a very bad team.
The Rams must draft well in the 10′ draft if they expect to a respectable team once the 10′ season comes. When a team has so many problems, one, two, or even three high draft picks won’t make the difference. The Rams fans hope the front office makes very smart decisions in the upcoming years so the Rams don’t turn into the Detroit Lions of the NFC West.
