Tough question.

I'll go Rams. The NFL is a lot easier to go worst to first. They just need a competent QB and another impact receiver. They have a good D, a good RB.

The fact that Case Keenum is a starter in the NFL and Michael Vick sits at home on his couch completely baffles me. IMO, if the Rams signed Vick, gave him a few weeks to learn the O and then started him, you would have a good mentor to Goff and a QB who's still a running threat that will demand opposing defences take a guy out of the box to give Gurley more room to get loose.

Snead and Fisher really F'd this up by relying on Keenum to be a bridge QB.

Come on man, I know you love Vick but he can barely get himself physically fit for an NFL game.

Brady could be the starting qb and this O will.still suck. The entire WR core are bunch of medicore at best talent, the play calling is a joke, its so predictable

His only question/criticism at this stage of his career is his ability to stay healthy. He had some good moments in Pittsburgh and put them in position to win a couple games (vs BAL, @ SD), despite only having been in Todd Haley's complex system for a few weeks. He's always in tremendous shape, a good locker room presence -- unlike his younger Atlanta Falcons days, which are well documented.

Is he a consistent full time starting QB for 16 games? At this point, not anymore. Even me, the biggest Vick homer in the entire world ( ) can admit that. However, he's certainly a few steps ahead of Keenum and he's a good veteran to have in the locker room as a backup/3rd QB.

[TyCobb]

Rams for sure.

[TKainZero]

Rams easy

Nfl is super close in talent. A play here or there over the course of a 16 game season can be multiple wins.

In the nba, with 82 games, and the huge disparity in talent it is not as easy for an underdog to win out over the 82 game season

[Wavy Q]

Rams are trash garbage but **** teams can become good teams much quicker in the NFL than the NBA.

[Crooked-I]

Has to be the Rams. Their defense is close to playoff level already, they're a QB and legit #1 WR away from the playoffs IMO. If they picked Wentz instead of Goff i'd pretty much guarantee they make the playoffs before the Lakers. But Goff looked like trash in the preseason so it makes things closer.

[Wavy Q]

You can have all the best skill position players in the world but if your o-line is as bad as the Rams is it wont matter.
See: Seahawks.

[Ballerhogger]

Lakers will. The Rams are so far offensively its so much harder to get a playoff team in the nfl. They have rookie qb with horrible o line. The defense is great but we really need a line. Also we need another coach Fisher needs to go. The lakers can build a lot quicker than Rams and have potentially a good line up next season.

[simon24]

Rams. Cards are inconsistent and if SEA was to lose Wilson to a season ending injury they're done. Gurley, Keenum and that defense could make it to the playoffs.
