Ya know...3-13 turned out a blessing
Think about it. This team was starting to age. Bruce was getting close to joining Glover and Chavous for the AARP committee. Pace has seen quite a few battles in the trenches. McCollum and Timmerman get a dollar off a haircut on Wednesday's because it was Senior Citizens day. Well, tongue in cheek humor aside, this team needed a youth movement. It's difficult when you go 8-8 year in and year out because you draft in the middle way too often and teams like Arizona cherry pick all the most talented youth and get better than you.

So, by the Rams going 3-13 it allowed them to do the cherry picking this year. They took the lumps last year and may just go through some growing pains again this year BUT, the light at the end of the tunnel is fast approaching and it isn't an oncoming train. This team is lucky that the draft is stocked up top. The Rams will get instantly better by May and then hopefully the draft next year is just as good for us. If the Rams win in 2008 it will be from overacheiving BUT if the Rams win in 2009 it will be because this team has improved over the last three years and will be a force in the NFC West.

So, those of you who want to win this year cool. So do I. However, 2009 is looking better to me and I can't wait.
