Los Angeles Rams: How They Succeed
Earlier this week, the NFL owners voted 30-2 to send the St. Louis Rams back to their Southern California roots to become the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams will most likely play their 2016 season in the Los Angeles Coliseum as they wait for their 1.9 billion, three-million square foot stadium to be built in the city of Inglewood.
The stadium is set to be finished by the start of the 2019 season, and set to be the home of the Los Angeles Rams for decades to come.
This stadium is as well set to be the home for the NFL’s current media center, and could be available for future NFL events, and a venue for many other events.

As of right now, the Rams are set to be the only team to play in the Los Angeles area, but the Chargers have the option to share the Inglewood stadium if they decide to.
If the Chargers decide to stay in San Diego, or go elsewhere.
The Raiders will then be given the same option to join the Rams.
Until then, the Rams didn’t take long to introduce a new logo, and bring more hype to an already hyped city with the introductory news conference in Inglewood.
As owner Stan Kroenke said, “We’re going to bring Super Bowls here.”
The bigger question is — will the Rams bring Super Bowl trophies back to California?
The last California team to win the Super Bowl was in 1995 when the San Francisco 49ers beat the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX (29).
On the contrary, the Rams weren’t able to bring a Super Bowl to Los Angeles the first time they were here, and I don’t believe they’ll be winning a Super Bowl anytime soon.
The Rams are that kind of team that is stacked with talent all over the field, and always end up in the middle to bottom of the league with a negative record.
The Rams haven’t had a positive record since 2003, except for going 8-8 in 2004 were they made playoffs and in 2006.
So the Rams haven’t really been too successful for the past decade.
Especially under Jeff Fisher, who has a record of 27 wins to 36 loses.
Jeff Fisher and the Rams have had tons of first round picks to improve the team, and have stacked their defense at every position.
The offense has been a log in the road with the offensive line being inconsistent and having no one to play the quarterback position at a high level.
Sam Bradford has been consistently injured, and they have gotten decent quarterback play from Austin Davis, Case Keenum, Nick Foles, and Shaun Hill when called upon.
The run game and wide receiver play has, as well, been suspect at time under Fisher; even with the rise of Todd Gurley.
The Rams weren’t able to gather wins week by week to get them to the playoffs, so thus far, Jeff Fisher hasn’t been able to coach his Rams in the right direction.
Along with not being able draft, or bring in a good quarterback.
Until the Rams fire Jeff Fisher as their head coach, I don’t see the Rams doing anything in the NFL, but being a hyped train that will brake done on its way to its destination.
I’m sorry Rams fans.
I hope the Rams the best, and would love to see them be successful again like the old days, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

Unless you get a steal in this year’s draft with an elite quarterback, or somehow find the Jeff Fisher that was the head coach of the Titans, who led them to the Super Bowl in 1999 — against the Rams.
For now, Rams fans will continue to fund a team with the hype that this team will succeed, because they’ve moved back to Los Angeles.
