Same can be said for Von Miller.
Both of these players went to teams going for the gold and there are inherent risks but I would rather have a team taking risks and failing than not taking any risk at all.
Neither Knonke nor Snead said they would do anything to win another Superbowl and then did very little. They let their off season positioning speak for them.
The Cowboys do not play the game the same way and that's not to say the way the Rams are playing it will deliver another ring but to the Rams fans, they know their team isn't waiting for anything. They are on full power to return to the Big Dance.
There was no risk signing Miller. It was basically a one year deal which is why he is now in Buffalo. This is a 5 year deal which will have consequences for years if Wagner can't play up to it. I guess they don't see a decline in skill.
No question the Rams are run differently. Their owners don't meddle in football affairs b/c they understand their expertise is not football. The Jones boys are a whole other ball of wax incapable of introspection and humility. Because of Jimmy Johnson's early success, Jerry truly believes, in spite of 26 years of evidence to the contrary, that he can build a team. I get it. Ten years ago, I spent an afternoon playing golf with Fred Couples who shot a 65. He made golf look so easy and effortless that I was convinced I too could shoot a 65 if I just tried hard enough. The greats make it look easy. 10 years later, I'm nowhere close to shooting 65. But b/c I saw it done up close and personal by a guy that looked no different than me, I still think in the my back of my head that I can do it. Jerry is the same way. He got a front row seat to the Jimmy Johnson show and ever since, he truly believes that its easy and he can do it.
