The bottom of the barrel - The St. Louis Rams
The “greatest show on turf” of the St. Louis Rams achieved earlier in the decade has long been gone as of 2009. The Rams franchise has fallen off the map badly since the glory days of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk.
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.
While nearly winning, the fact that the team only scored 7 points doesn’t bode well for the Rams’ offense. Unfortunately for Steven Jackson, he gets no help.
Their defense isn’t much better, the Rams rank as one of the worst defense teams in the league and opponents on offense can do whatever they please.
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.
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.
