I mean, I guess brag a little. But if I'm them I'm not all that optimistic about the present or near future. Don't know what their cap is/will be like.
As a Rams fan not living in CA or STL, I think it's obvious that the lack of fan base mostly has to do with them leaving and then coming back to LA. The future hardcore fanbase are kids right now. So it'll be a while, if ever, before they can outnumber fans of teams like the Cowboys, Niners, and Steelers.
It is tough to brag when we dropped off so much, not just from last year but the previous years. That being said, when being 3-4 at this point in the season is the worst your team has been in 6 years, that means your team/organization's culture is pretty damn good
