More great news for the Rams.

Yup. One less starting QB on the open market.

Houston has got to go QB at #1. It's Bridgewater at the moment.

Rams are gonna have suitors for Clowney, and some QBs.

Good for us but boy Chicago is going to regret that contract if there's a bunch guaranteed. He is not a franchise QB, IMO.

I think Jay is a good QB. Up to 2020 tho...sure banking on him.

Need to fix that defense.

So that means they're planning on a Superbowl trip in 2021?

Yup, good QBs don't hit the open market very often. I think Jay is good, but not great.

There are going to be like 5 or 6 teams that want a QB in the draft, and how many are really going to be good enough to pick early in the 1st round?

It seems to me our best bet is for Bortles to declare and rip up the combine as well as his pro day.

They could just as easily decide to stick with Schaub for another year especially if they get a great offer for the #1 overall.

I heard that Schaub is getting cut. They aren't sticking with him. New HC new QB. You can bet on that.

I disagree. If this indeed were to happen, it would just lessen the value of the "trade down", by adding another legitimate QB to the mix. Assuming that Bridgewater and Manziel are already in that discussion, why would you want to add a 3rd QB, along with Clowney, allowing teams to hold out for one of the 3?

Best case scenario, Bortles flops, or Manziel causes another off-field story further raising questions to his character, leaving teams wanting/needing a QB to bid against one another for the remaining target.

I just want to know the numbers on the Cutler deal, as that could effect us in the future. Be interesting to see what they are paying for a guy who is injured a lot and has a propensity for throwing some bad picks...

Coach, point taken. I was looking from a completely different perspective, that if Bortles blew up the combine/pro day he would create greater demand. Your assessment certainly has merit however.

My point being, the reason we got the huge haul from Washington in the RGIII trade, was because there were ONLY 2 quality QBs people saw as viable. If you water down the pool by adding more prospects, the urgency diminishes, as they can "get the next guy" if they miss out of one of the first two.

Agreed. Not the first time I've had a boneheaded thought.
