All I know is the last few years the Rams were in Los Angeles their attendance sucked. Now if it is your assertion that over the last 20 years LA has evolved to the point that it may now choose to support an NFL team, even if it sucks for the first few years, then maybe you're right. It certainly wasn't happening the last time they had one, however.

Where did the Rams play before being tempted to leave town by a newly built Transworld Dome?

Certainly not true.

Rams moved out from LA Coliseum because the stadium seated 100,000 and it was nearly impossible to get a sellout every game in which resulted in local TV blackouts. Rams played in Anaheim for 15 years prior to leaving the market.

Up until 1991, the Rams was at or above the average NFL attendance average For stadium attendance. Attendance declined in 1991 when no one wanted to go to a crappy and delapitated stadium in Anaheim. Has nothing to do with the fan base.

How much money did Atte Moreno put into that stadium when he purchased the Angels?

Will two teams from the same division really play in the same stadium? I guess it would work, but seems like it would be a headache. Am I reading correctly that there could possibly be two new stadiums built. The Carson one for Raiders/Chargers and the other one for the Rams?

No, one of them would have to switch conferences and it's been reported the Raiders are willing to if it comes to it. The problem isn't even that they'd play in the same stadium. It's that there would be two teams in the same metro area in the same conference which would be a TV scheduling nightmare with CBS being the league's primary AFC broadcaster which is further complicated by the fact that most all west coast team games are in the 4 PM time slot. The Seahawks would likely be the team from the NFC that switches.

That makes sense. Seahawks were an AFC West team from 1977 to 2001. I hope this happens. No more playing them every year.

Not sure because when the Rams moved the Angels moved to reconstruct the stadium to be a baseball only stadium in 1996 that completed in 1998. Moreno bought the team in 2003 so the stadium was still fairly renovated. Essentially, he bought the Angels for $180 million dollars and a newly refurbished stadium.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
