The Los Angeles Rams are off to an impressive start to the 2018 season being the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL heading into Week 9 action against the New Orleans Saints, but one thing has the General Manager Les Snead going crazy.
This has firmly thrust high expectation ahead of the franchise that many believing that the team could be the favorites to win the Super Bowl. This notion makes their GM continue to grow more angered by that being the perception around the team, according to NFL.com.
“It drives me nuts when people say that you're going all in to win the Super Bowl this season,” Snead said. “You're going all in to maybe give you a millimeter, centimeter, an upper hand.
“Building through the draft leads to sustainability. You've also been able to watch what a team like New England's done. They've used draft picks, but they've also used picks to make trades. They've used free agency. Your whole goal is to acquire players that are going to help Sean McVay and his staff execute in any way possible.”
Les Snead has a clear understanding that there is a lot that goes into winning a Super Bowl that requires plenty of pieces to the puzzle having to fit together at the right time. It is looking to build a sustainable roster that can compete for a Super Bowl but also stay that course well beyond one season.
The New England Patriots are a strong model for that as they have been the standard bearer for continuing to form a roster that can compete annually for a Super Bowl. It is something that not only the Rams strive to do but the entire league as the Patriots have been able to do that for nearly two decades.
There isn't any less emphasis on winning a Super Bowl but is much more than that for Snead in trying to put together a roster that can have sustained success.
