I would still argue that losing is the largest contributing factor. The Rams won the SB in 2000 and had the greatest show on turf until 2005. We haven't had a winning team since Shula retired....let alone a SB win in 40 years.

And by winning team...I mean perennial contender.

The Rams have only struggled for about 8 years.

Besides, the Rams may have grown 15% in a year but it's not as hard to do when you are the 3rd lowest valued team in the League.

We will be back on top once we have a franchise QB. Hopefully T-Hill.

Step 1: Win
Step 2: Win consistently
Step 3: New Stadium

Dolph- yeah Wayne still owns 5 percent for nostalgia.. He never wanted to sell the team, but with estate planning for his family, his age, the foresight that capital gains was going up and not wanting his kids to wind up like Joe Robbies kids, he sold the team reluctantly... He didnt need the money but it is not a good idea to die owning an NFL team, that death tax will devour your estate with an asset like the Dolphins... I think Ross protected himself from it with that big 2 billion dollar charity donation upon his death...

eesti- I would agree if we start to win, you will see us in the annual 10 percent plus club again...

Huizenga has a knack for selling at the top of the market.... Remember that Viacom deal that bought Blockbuster for 8.4 billion...Viacom IPOed Blockbuster for 4.8 billion. Then turned down a deal to buy netflix for 50 million a year later... Made a deal with Enron and their broadband service for movies on demand instead... Yes that Enron.... Which gets caught up in the accounting scandal and files for Bankruptcy... By 2010 Blockbuster files for Bankruptcy as well with a value of just 24 million dollars.... As the world turns..... mind boggling....

And as long as we are kept from making the playoffs it will be more stagnant.

Wayne sold that the top of the market. plus our stadium is old and outdated and among the worst in the league. and there's no buzz about this team since we've been nationally irrelevant for more than 10 years.
so the current valuation makes sense.

The stadium is very nice....Its beautifull on gameday and now that no more baseball and infield dirt is more beautifull.
