The LA Rams finished second in the NFC West last season, two games behind the Seattle Seahawks but four games ahead of the 6-10 San Francisco 49ers. Now over a week into 2021’s free agency, the Rams have a strong case to be cited as the best team in the division, but few are able to get past the idea that the 49ers and Arizona Cardinals are both candidates to improve next season and that all four teams will challenge for the title.
The biggest disadvantage for the Cardinals, other than their potential defensive and receiver woes, would seem to be that head coach Kliff Kingsbury is the least accomplished head coach in the NFC West.
