If the Rams had explosive pass catchers in terms of running away from defenders, the Kyren problem wouldn’t be as magnified in my eyes.
You never feel like our backs are going to to break away when they get to the second level. There’s always a tackle.
Kyren is a quality chain mover and pass protector. He’s decent around the goal line. Has sporadic ball security issues.
If that’s all you want from your feature back then fine, extend him. Call it good.
My view is he gets more touches than anyone else on offense so we need a true weapon there.
The Rams need to add about 6-7 points per gm to the output this year. That’s alot.
Fact is, the Rams offense hasn’t had a 30ppg offense since Gurley was here. In the ‘21 championship year (27ppg) we got a God mode season from Kupp.
22,23,24ppg and a solid but plodding run game with Stafford throwing to Nacua and Adams isn’t enough.
I’ll keep banging the table that the offense needs a tool to scare defenses that doesn’t put so much weight upon our aging QB’s arm to deliver.
