As always FP, very well said and well thought out. I would have given you props, but I have to "spread it around".
It's a sad day in Ram's nation, for that we all agree, but one that we must endure. The state of this organization, and the players on the field have reached new lows. But as a Ram fan of many, many, many seasons....
I've endured this agony before, and I suppose, I will endure again. I'll be here when the dust settles and we're steady playoff contenders again.
Like you, I'm pretty sure it will take the better part of not less then two years, but probably more in the neighborhood of 3 or 4 years to right this wayward ship. Stranger things have happened, and if we all remember the 1998 season, we were saying the same things. But Cinderella appeared in 1999 and we had that magical season when all hope seemed lost. Let's hope we catch lightning in a bottle next year and get 9 or 10 wins and make some noise.
Since the writing of this thread, as we all know, Bruce is lost to the hated ones, and much of Ram nation is in shock and denial. But it was time. Little is also a player that's no longer the impact player we now need so desparately. So, IMHO, his time is also about up as a Ram.
This offseason will be one of the most interesting in recent memory, and the success, or failure of this franchise for many years to come may be riding on the decisions made in the next few months.
