The Los Angeles Rams love the team they've built. This helped them win 12 games and reach the NFC Conference Championship. But as general manager Les Snead knows, there's clearly more work to be done.
Yet, after only a four-point loss to the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Rams also feel like they are close to the ultimate goal again. They also have a head coach and starting quarterback who already know what it takes to win a Super Bowl.
As the Rams continue to build out their quarterback room, which now only includes Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett, they will have to consider whether they want more experience or upside at the position. As a team that feels like they are favorites, the Rams probably have something else to prove.
recently, athleticNate Atkins reported that the Rams are "interested in bringing back Jimmy Garoppolo." However, Atkins says "the market for them is fluid."
As expected, others are expected to be interested in the two-time Super Bowl winner. Still, the Rams may have the upper hand on the 34-year-old, given that he's spent the last two seasons mastering Sean McVay's system in Los Angeles.
However, perhaps Garoppolo is tired of sitting on the bench. He has started only one game the past two years, and barring injury, he may not get those opportunities with the Rams. Perhaps better playing opportunities exist in Arizona, Pittsburgh, or other destinations where the quarterback position is weak. After Stafford's MVP campaign, this clearly isn't Los Angeles.
