The “greatest show on turf” of the St. Louis Rams achieved earlier in the decade has long been gone as of 2009. The Rams franchise has fallen off the map badly since the glory days of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk.

An entire overhaul of the team will need to take place – besides running back Stephen Jackson – if the Rams ever expect to be playoff contenders again. This is a big process and will take time.

The St. Louis Rams have only scored 7 total points through the first two weeks of the 2009 football season. Having been blanked by the Seahawks in Seattle (28-0, couldn’t get much worse), the team traveled to Washington in week 2, carrying higher hopes.

QB Marc Bulger and Kyle Boller are nearly identical when it comes to their stats — which means it doesn’t really matter which is in the game because the chance of the Rams winning doesn’t improve.

Defense is not known to be their strong point, and without an effective offensive present, it’ll be extremely difficult for this team to win many games. They can’t stop the run nor can they stop the pass. I expect some really big scores against them this year.

It is doubtful the Rams will go winless like the Detroit Lions “accomplished” in 08′ – the Rams are not looking at many wins either. It’s hard to find bright spots with the Rams. The only player that the Rams can be proud is RB Stephen Jackson – Jackson has carried the Rams the last few seasons – a running back alone doesn’t win football games.

Bulger has been a long stay in the NFL world, and just a few short years ago, was considered one of the best quarterbacks in the game. While he’s not old, he may have lost his touch with the Rams.

With nothing to lose, the Rams should draft a top quarterback in 2010, as their future may hinge on this position.
