Much is made of Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams offensive prowess. One would think that LA’s career stats lists would be bursting at the seams with players from 2017 through today. It’s not.
Yes, it has only been five years, but that is surely enough to put a bunch of current Rams towards the top of the list, especially in the modern era of passing.
There are two main reasons for this.
One, the LA Rams offense is not built around one star. They have stars, to be sure, but until last season when Cooper Kupp broke into the stratosphere, LA was about spreading the ball amongst playmakers, not allowing opposing defenses the ability lock in one player and neutralize the offense.
