Watched the Rams America's Game episode the other day. Very good. Within 10 years we are in the state we are now.
The America's Games episodes are excellent. However i have no sympathy for the Rams. It's your own fault for not building a good core of young players ready to take over when the older guys retire. Thankfully that is something i think Ted Thompson does well for us and he usually takes players that won't strart straight away but eventually repalce veteran starters a year or two later. Eg. Aaron Rodgers to replace Favre. Jordy Nelson/James Jones to replace Donald Driver (eventually), TJ Lang to replace Chad Clifton. BJ Raji as the long term NT etc.
Also i'm conviced you guys don't actually want a QB ever:
Chris Long (poor) when you could have had Matt Ryan
Jason Smith when you could have had Mark Sanchez
Adam Carriker (poor) when you could have had Brady Quinn (admittedly he hasn't panned out fully)
When you neglect the most important position in the NFL (financially and in playing terms) every year and have nobody to build around you deserve to be bad.
