The Rams are going to take a step back next year. The salary cap situation they find themselves in, while having to carry Gurly's contract and pay Goff with a rapidly aging O-Line is going to make for a rough 2019.
McVay got figured out by Fangio, when he realized all the Rams were doing was running playaction pass when you had base personnel, and then would run with Gurley when the D had nickel personal. Teams got the film of that game, and the Rams haven't been the same since. I am over simplifying a bit of course, but it is very true.
Kupp was a big loss as well, and outside of their LT & LG is the best player on their offense. Though the LT will probably retire, and the LG is a UFA. So Kupp might be the best offensive player on the Rams in the not too distant future.
The 49ers are a bigger threat in 2019. Shanny has built a great offense with not a lot at running back or wide receiver. Which I think will be fixed in Free Agency.
They really just need to improve their secondary, and will surely add a blue chip edge rusher with the 2nd pick in the draft.
The 49ers are the real competition in 2019 for the Division.
