A lot of changes to stomach over the offseason, but we seem to have brought in some real pros, so I'm (as always) cautiously optimistic.
 
Think about it. If he had a half ass competent offense the last few years how many more games could we have won? Defiantly a few playoff spots.

Now winning a championship is a different story!

I'm excited about the new staff. McVay has done a nice job of putting a respectable one together. We'll see how the offseason goes, but I'm feeling optimistic.

Truth is that it'll come down to Goff. If we give Goff the pieces necessary for him to succeed and he improves, we'll do well. I feel confident that Wade can have our defense playing at an equivalent level. If Goff takes a major step forward, this whole team will.

In order for Goff to take that step forward, we need to add offensive talent. Regardless, I'm feeling good right now. I believe in the guys tasked with developing Goff, and I believe in Goff. I think Goff has the goods to be as good as any QB in the game.
 
We've got some pieces; however, I don't see the Rams as a 10 win team yet, but who knows? Maybe this new coaching staff will bring out the best of in them. At least I hope they do.

We are accumulating coaching talent, but we have yet to bring in any new impact players. I am neither negative or positive, but it's hard to get too excited until we see some serious talent joining what we already have on the field.

During the 1999 off season, my interest jerked way up when no less than Isaac express his surprised pleasure at the Horns acquiring Marshall Faulk. (When your elite players are getting jacked up interest-wise, you know guys are gonna stat setting their sights higher than usual.) Adam Timmermann came from Green Bay to anchor the right side of the OL while Orlando Pace anchored the port side. Ricky Proehl who led the Rams in receiving the previous year after an injury-prone 1998 for Isaac was back again. Az Hakim climbed out of Vermeil's doghouse to claim the slot receiver role. Torry Holt was selected 6th overall in the draft to pair with Isaac as a starter. Trent Green came with new OC, Mike Martz, to take over the QB position.

I'll get really excited when I start seeing more positive things happen player-wise, but the upwards spike in coaching talent is definitely uplifting.
 
Hopefully this is the same guy who predicted we'd only win four games this last season...
 
Pretty sure these predictions are made in jest, but sure, that sounds good!!

Would be thrilled but, yeah, pretty much a long shot at this point I think...Alot of things would have to fall right...Could happen, I'm just not holding my breath...I would be ok with 8 wins after watching this team in 2016...
 
Putting on my homer hat, the defense remains intact and Phillips has them playing elite. McVay gets the offense up to mediocre and yeah, I can see 10 wins easily.

Taking the homer hat off, probably not.
 

No not at all.

Vegas would not do that?

I'm thinking over/under Rams wins in 2017 is more in the +/- 7.5 to 8.5 range.

Of course, on Rams sites it might ne higher. lol

Or did I misunderstand your seriousness?

I like your hat.You should wear it.
 
I'm ready for the fresh start . It certainly wasn't going to happen under Fisher .
