Is apparently a free agent. He must be the best kept secret in the back up qb market. How has nobody in the nfl mentioned him yet? We should give him a shot at the qb competition. If Bradford went down, locker would be a far better option than sean hill or Austin Davis

He has all the tools but injury prone and inaccurate. Doubt Fish gives him a look as there are some better options in FA albeit not by much.

Injury-prone? Wildly inaccurate? Happy feet? Makes poor decisions? No thanks.

I think that it would be hard to ind a legitimate starter willing to sit the bench. Unless we picked up mallet, who should get a shot elsewhere, I think locker is the best option (although there is Sanchez or Vick as well)

No thanks. Of that class' terribly overrated, meh QBs, I'd rather take Clausen than Locker.

Clausen was 2010. Locker was 2011.

Either way, this is the worst year to need a QB in a really long time...

Draft sucks and FA sucks.

No real way around that.

Knew he was out there, don't want him. Injury prone and not good when he does play.

Pretty much what I'm getting at. I don't see a starter long term in him. Sorta what Sanchez was for the eagles this year

I actually was flying the Locker flag when he was coming out. Now? No thanks. Wildly inaccurate and even seems afraid to run. Personally, I DO think Austin is better.

If the Rams go with a FA who is cheap I think it will be Gabbert. He is terrible too but like his upside more personally.

I do expect them to use FA though since picks this year are sparse.

No thanks on Gabbert! Watched him at MU and didn't want him then as his decision making sucks! Rather watch Hill or Davis than him!

Gabbert has upside?

Yeah if they snag a QB off of free agency this year, I'm hoping it's Mallet or bust.
I'd settle for Matt Moore if it was a one or two year deal to truly signify that he's just here to compete with Bradford. Otherwise I'm not buying any of the FA options.

Mallet would me such am expensive backup though. Also, I'm sure some team looking for a starter would intrigue him more. But then again, maybe the rams are looking for a starter...
