So I saw your reply to 209RamsFan and wanted to ask you something. Firstly, I want to make it clear that I did not say if we lose this Monday night, fire Fisher and Snead. That obviously would be way to drastic. But I will pose this next question to you and others.
If at the end of this season, the Rams end up say ... 4-12 ... would you consider firing Fisher as an option?
I know you didn't ask me, but I'd like to reply, record while it matters isn't all there is ,but if he was 4-12,that would be 18-29-1 overall,nearly twice as many wins as his predecessor while dismantling the roster and the youngest team in the league every year,not to mention being without his "franchise QB " over half those games .
If Sam Bradford playing in the 25 games he'll have missed by then can't have won you 6 of those games and had the record over .500,then Spags shouldn't have drafted him.
The rest of the story is this ,how they played to get to that record, our last two opponents who but for some IMO youthful mistakes we should have won were dominant yesterday, I know fans don't like "moral victories" but people who hire and fire coaches need to be more dispassionate about decisions ,or you end up like the Raiders with flavor of the month coaching (JMO Al Davis was desperate to see his team win once more before he died and was whipsawing it terribly ,something I don't want here).
I personally would not be surprised to see this team go 6-10 and still be a better team than we were last year,we've been blown out once ,and FWIW that was to a full strength Viking team that now is a shadow of what it was when we played them beside the flux we had at QB in that game .
Last , Fisher is on a 5 year contract , it was planned all along for him to have 4 years to produce not the 3 that has become the standard of impatience because some people have done it. we aren't just trying to win now we are trying to establish sustained winning,IMO that's Stans goal and he's got the guy he thinks can do it, he's a man who knows the long game.
I can't say what the end of the season would bring for me, because I don't know how that record would be arrived at ,three narrow wins and 9 miserable blowouts might do it, a complete let down,but IMO that ain't happening, we've got too many solid veterans i.e. the way Cook got set straight fast .
I think we play well tonight ,wish I was going.
