I'm totally ready to say the Rams are better.
Anyone seen the state of the 49ers DL? Holy cow.
One more injury and the LBs are gonna be in even worse shape.
By the looks of it, you'd think the entire 49er RB corps was on the Madden cover... injuries just piling up there.
Their OL doesn't look to be where it needs to be, either.
And I have little to no faith that Kaep is all of a sudden gone from "i can only manage to be a QB for half the field" to "now I'm a full field, multiple target, read the defense fully functional QB" in one off-season.
So, no, I have absolutely no problem saying that the Rams are better than the 49ers. Heck, I think we were better than them last year and would have shown that had Bradford not gotten injured.
With another year of learning for the new guys and the newest additions, I think we're even stronger.
Seattle still worries me a bit. They lost a lot, but they had a lot of depth. If they stay healthy, it will be a mad fight. Still think we can beat them, tho.
But better than the 49ers? I'm ready to say that today.
