The LA Rams passing attack is going to shock the NFL in 2024, but it shouldn't

While many NFL analysts are not onboard just yet, the LA Rams passing attack is positioned to be one of the most dangerous aerial offenses in 2024. This in not conjecture, homerism, or simply some pie-in-the-sky outlook. This is simply a matter of examining historic facts, and then projecting that history to what we know about the future.

Right now, the future of the team's passing game is awfully bright.

Even now, as alarmists raise concerns about the long-term future of veteran QB Matthew Stafford with the LA Rams, nobody is paying attention to less obvious factors that the team has invested to aid Stafford's role with this offense. The team has arguably the best one-two wide receiver group.

Let's begin by saying that it's been clear that neither veteran QB Matthew Stafford nor All-Pro WR Cooper Kupp have been the same since their phenomenal 2021 NFL season. In that year, Cooper Kupp nearly broke the NFLs All-Time Single Season Receiving Record. And Stafford was the guy throwing him the football.

Neither Stafford nor Kupp could stay healthy in 2022 and 2023, leading many NFL analysts to view the pair as waning in their productivity. But both are healthy in 2024, and that means that if they can stay healthy through 17 games, records are at risk of being broken this year. But the funny part of that is that Cooper Kupp is not the only wide receiver who has elite star power in this offense.

There is another.
