Watkins had 1000 yard season in Buffalo with 9 TDs while missing 3 games in his second season in Buffalo. He also nearly had a 1000 yard season his rookie season with 6 TDs. His third season he only played 8 games due to injury. He was know where near a bust in Buffalo. Also if Watkins was just some guy then why did the Rams trade a first RD pick for Cooks to replace him?
Whit is a HOF LT who replaced a guy who was compareable to our 2015 1st Rd pick. That's a huge difference not a little difference.
Wood's was a solid player in Buffalo similar to what Sanu was with us. Superstar maybe not but he was significantly better than what the Rams had before hand.
Sullivan- has been one of the best Centers in the NFL since he arrived in the NFL it was a huge get for the Rams.
Mcvay didn't sign a bunch of Garbage Players and turn them into superstars. Does he deserve credit of course but there a lot of coaches out there that could have done the same thing.
See post #124. They go into vivid detail on McVay's schemes and the changes he's made that turned the Rams around.
------
The Bills gave the #9 overall pick, another 1st rounder and a 4th rounder to move up 5 spots to nab Watkins. That is a crap ton of value just to grab a WR. Watkins was supposed to be a transcendent talent. An AJ Green or a Randy Moss type of player. Instead, the Bills wound up trading him before his rookie contract was up.
What did the Bills give up Watkins (and a 6th rounder) for? E.J. Gaines (who?) and a 2nd rounder. That's a bust bro. Maybe not an Akili Smith level bust, but maybe a Reinard Wilson type of bust. The Bills took a massive loss just to move on from him.
Why did the Rams trade for Cooks to replace Watkins? Because Watkins was a disappointment. Just like he was in Buffalo.
-------
Whit is a good player. Whit was also a part of teams that went 7-9 and 6-9-1 prior to signing with the Rams. Whit wasn't enough to instantly turn a team around.
-------
Sullivan was 32 when the Rams signed him and coming off a season where he was a backup with the Redskins. I'd still say it was a solid signing, but he's not the game-changer you're painting him to be.
-------
The only players on offense that look like superstars are Jared Goff and Todd Gurley. Guys that looked terrible in 2016 with Jeff Fisher. Yes, the Rams addressed a couple problem spots on the o-line, but that does not explain a jump from #32 to #1 in offense. The Sports Illustrated article does a very good job of explaining, if you ever care to read it.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
