Building a truly complete team in the NFL is difficult, partly because of the presence of a salary cap. Rosters have to be a mix of talented young players on cheap contracts, as well as experienced veterans. The Rams have both of those things and it’s why they’re one of the best teams in the NFL.
After reaching the Super Bowl last season, Los Angeles still boasts a loaded roster capable of winning it all, paired with an outstanding coach in Sean McVay. Former Rams running back and NFL analyst Marshall Faulk knows a thing or two about talented teams, and he believes the most complete one resides in L.A.
He had some high praise for the Rams recently.
“I think that they are the most complete team in the NFL when you look at them top to bottom,” he said. “You throw in the experience of what they went through, you’ve got to go on the road in the NFC championship into New Orleans and win the football game – albeit, there was controversy. But to be in the position to win that game for a young team, that’s impossible, that’s a tough place to win.”
Faulk complimented the Rams for taking a chance on McVay, who’s “more innovative” than Jeff Fisher. He also loves the way they’ve built their roster in the draft and by bringing in veterans like Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters.
It’s hard to argue against any of his points and it’s easy to see why so many people believe the Rams could not only make it back to the Super Bowl, but potentially win it all.
