Pictured atop this article is former L.A. Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey with (future L.A. Rams quarterback???) Caleb Williams. With Ramsey among the many Super Bowl starters who have left the Rams in the last 14 months, L.A. isn’t close to resembling the team that won so many games from 2017 to 2021.
So it becomes a question of how many games the Rams could realistically win in 2023 — DraftKings has an over/under set at 7.5 wins — and whether it would be better for L.A. to strive for “just missing the playoffs” or “missing the playoffs by a LOT”.
