St. Louis Rams Continue To Suffer

Can anything good be said about the St. Louis Rams? Any football fan would be hard pressed to find something positive about the miserable situation of the St. Louis Rams.

The Rams hit rock bottom in 08′ with a record of 2-14 — worse then the 07′ season when they went 3-13. The last winning season for the Rams was in 03′, they went 12-4 winning the NFC West division. If it wasn’t for the Detroit Lions, Oakland raiders and Kansas City Chiefs, the Rams would be the worst franchise of the last 5 years.

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.

The Rams have one of worst offenses in the NFL – not much is expected fort the Rams in 09′. Steven Jackson is the only player who can get something going.

Marc Bulger has a few good seasons with the Rams – in 06′ Bulger threw for over 4,000 yards and 24 touchdown passes with only 8 interceptions. The last two seasons for Bulger have been less then stellar with more interceptions then touchdown passes.

It is doubtful the Rams will go winless like the Detroit Lions “accomplished” in 08′ – the Rams are not looking at many wins either. It’s hard to find bright spots with the Rams. The only player that the Rams can be proud is RB Stephen Jackson – Jackson has carried the Rams the last few seasons – a running back alone doesn’t win football games.

The NFL has had fast turn arounds before – many feel this isn’t possible with the Rams. The Dolphins in 07′ went 1-15, 08′ the Dolphins went 11-5. Whether that was a fluke or not the turn around was accomplished.

If I was Steven Jackson, I would do whatever it takes to get out of St. Louis. It’s going to be a long time before this team has potential.
