Los Angeles Rams legend Eric Dickerson isn’t exactly impressed with his old team even after a win.
Eric Dickerson ripped the Los Angeles Rams on his radio show on Monday, saying the team was “boring” despite getting the win.
Here’s what Dickerson had to say:
"It’s a win. But as a #Rams fan, it's hard for me to watch. They are so boring." - @EricDickerson on @AM570LASports just now

The former Rams running back also came to the defense of head coach Jeff Fisher, saying he was forced to take Goff in what was a decision that came from upper management:
Just now @EricDickerson said #Rams Fisher's hand was forced with Goff: "Trading up was a 'suits decision' not a football decision."

Just now @EricDickerson said if the #Rams offered him a PSL for $15K, the right to buy season tix. Eric would say “what's the punchline?”

Boring is something you never want out of an L.A. franchise. This isn't the football they waited 20+ yrs for.

Eric Dickerson’s “Boring” Critique is Spot-On
While the team’s defense is playing great, the offense has been brutally bad this season. After a nine-point effort on Sunday, the Rams have scored a combined total of 29 points over the last thee games.
For a legendary offensive player like Dickerson, that simply isn’t enough.
Much of the Rams problems come from poor quarterback play. Case Keenum has played below-average quarterback for the Rams this season, which has no end in sight considering it looks like No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff isn’t good enough to outplay the lackluster Keenum at this moment.

Hitting a little closer to home for Dickerson, running back Todd Gurley has been non-existent so far this season. He has yet to crack the 100-yard mark in any game and it doesn’t help that his offensive line isn’t very good. Things didn’t change in Week 10, as Gurley could only muster up 64 yards on 21 carries, good enough for just three yards per tote.
As a whole the Rams offense ranks near the bottom of the league in per game averages for points, passing yards and rushing yards. There’s no indication that will change, either.
Dickerson’s thoughts are exactly the thoughts on the minds of most Rams fans who look at this situation realistically. This team simply can’t get it done on offense and that makes the Rams squad hard to watch in 2016.
