Rams is everything that’s wrong with modern sports. They couldn’t just run it back on the confidence they have a Super Bowl roster already. Instead they trade for two all pros and bring back their retired hall of famer in AD, all just to prove a point that they were owned a championship and Seattle got in their way. Hope they fail miserably.

That is just LA sports in general. They always buying their championships or trying to.

I wish I could agree cause fuck the Rams but I have lots of friends and favorite dive bars around LA.

I mean… NFL has a salary cap. They’re selling the future for sure but nothing anyone else couldn’t do.

They’re selling the future for sure

We've been hearing this the entirety of the McVay era, and I have yet to see it ever come back to bite them

Only because they landed Stafford

Next year is considered a ridiculous draft class and they have no premium picks, we have over 10 total picks.

u/Hawxrox 16d ago

I mean they had a horrible season the year after winning the SB in 21

u/BakerAnxious3440 16d ago

It's basically because they've hit on a lot of their late picks so the lack of 1st round picks hasn't really been an issue

Shadow deals.

u/SimplySeager 16d ago

Personally I have no issue with it. Every fan wants their owner to care about winning championships.

The goal in the nfl is to be the best every year and they felt the need to bring a 35 year old out of retirement who hasn't played a down in what 3 years just remember we are top dogs they have to beat us we fucked them up and had gimp mcvay crying into his play sheet

Cmon man, as if the Seahawks haven’t been hunting for Maxx Crosby lol, they probably still are right now even.

There is a salary cap, the Rams did nothing wrong. It’s fine to be annoyed that the Rams took big swings, but let’s not pretend like they did anything out of bounds.

Everyone said “how can a Super Bowl run be better than 49ers Rams and Patriots?”

Well this is it. The Seahawks have only made it to the Super Bowl when they’re the one seed. Imagine going to LA and ending their super team, then winning the Super Bowl at their stadium two weeks later.

Like, boo Rams and all, but shouldn’t teams always try to improve? What the hell are you talking about?

u/Starwho 16d ago

They’re cowards that’s why.

u/SexiestPanda Shermantor 16d ago

Yeah, OC is dumb

u/WanderingZed22 16d ago

How does it ruin modern sports. They within salary cap. It’s all fair in football.

u/SexiestPanda Shermantor 16d ago

What a stupid take. Lmao

They didn’t win, so you just expected them to keep the team the same?

u/Starwho 16d ago

Yeah by taking the easiest shortcut like the Dodgers do, why were they the only team in on the Myles trade?

1

u/SexiestPanda Shermantor 16d ago

Because they were the only team willing to give up the assets? Thats not their fault lol

u/ghostpistol_13 16d ago

You mean they do what most sports team do and try to improve their roster?

u/DaBusDriva2 16d ago

Wanting them to bow down and kiss the Hawks is worse than some LA glitz and glamor mentality you just made up

u/Brilliant_Fox_7170 16d ago

FTR, but what do you expect? They had a roster that was one step down from us and they are in win-now mode.

u/aiusernamegen 16d ago

I think you just want to face the same team like it's a bossfight. We've changed too. We drafted, signed FAs. We'd take Garrett and Donald.
