8) Does the presence of Davante Adams make the Rams offense elite again?
Adams has posted five straight 1,000-yard seasons. It wouldn’t be smart to bet against him extending that streak even though he turns 33 years old in December. The Rams signed Adams because they understood one of the major factors in their mediocre offense was their inability to keep talented receivers on the field. Both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua missed time last season and neither player hit the 1,000-yard mark. As a result, the Rams fielded an offense that ranked 20th in scoring and 15th in yards. Adams proved last year that he still has enough juice to be a difference-maker, as he totaled 67 receptions, 854 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games with the Jets following a midseason trade from Las Vegas. He also did all that while playing for a team that fired its head coach and offensive coordinator. Now imagine what Adams can do with one of the game’s brightest offensive minds (head coach Sean McVay), a gifted quarterback still playing at a high level (Matthew Stafford) and Nacua and other weapons around him. Adams already has raved about McVay, the team chemistry and the positive vibes around the Rams facility. In fact, the more he talks, the harder it is to imagine the Rams not being one of the most dangerous offenses in the league again.
