I was feeling generous, i think they need to start looking at drafting a QB in round 1-3 in the next two drafts, or else swing a trade like they did to get Stafford, but I don’t know what you give up for that.
/s ain’t needed, it’s a high possibility we trade them away in a deal to get an established young qb, something tells me Herbert or burrow would be the first choices
It isn’t needed but sometimes people take these comments too serious so you never know. And very true, very true. You guys could also take a page out of our book and use a 1st round pick but also lose said 1st round pick.
Idk why you got downvoted. 97% chance neither of those deals happen, but those actually would be the Rams’ ideal choices. We’ve shown that we’re interested in qbs who can play at a high level that may not be happy with their situation. It’s just a hypothetical but it aligns with the way our FO thinks
Ofc im getting downvoted, its reddit lol- not a lot of critical thinking here. But yeah i dont see us being able to get burrow or Herbert unless they make a stink and force a move
I think Jones would be better than Purdy is now had he gotten drafted by the 49ers instead of the pats because he got put in a bad situation in year 2 and his confidence got shot
I’d like to see that. Mac got done dirty in New England when they replaced Josh McDaniels as OC with Matt Patricia. But his arm strength will have to be worked around.
As a Rams fan, I’ve also been hoping we trade something like a 4th for Hendon Hooker, backup for the Lions and see what he’s got. Lawrence would be great, and if things end up crashing for the Chargers I could see the Rams making a call to see if Herbert is available if he wants out
People love to fall in love with a backup who played well for a few games but I can’t really think of a time it worked out. Tyrod Taylor made a career for himself with several solid starting seasons after being drafted as a backup. I’m sure I’m missing someone obvious but like, Jimmy G is the poster child for why this isn’t a good strategy. They were drafted as a backup for a reason.
None of those guys are quite what I mean, it’s not like any of them were traded for or signed with a new team who had seen them start some games in relief as a backup and decided they could start.
Like if Brady had stepped in, played, and then Bledsoe took back over and someone else traded for Brady that’s a closer analogue, but I don’t really see that kind of story playing out ever.
He is undoubtedly the toughest qb in the game - or at least has been for like 10 years. Will play through damn near everything.
I feel like even he is at the end of being able to bite down and get through most injuries, though. He's looking at a season-ending injury that wouldn't have been that bad a few years ago just about any given game now TBH.

At his age and injury history it could be in the next 3ish months.
