I've been saying it for 4 weeks now, and this week it seems like many more rams fans agree, Austin Davis is not the answer at QB. He is a #2 at best, an average #2. Put Hill in next week and lets start learing how to win and finish games. Let's get Bailey and Tavon rolling and get them ready for next season. No more ridiculous INTs and FUMBLES please.

Yeah, but knowing your QBs limitations, why does Schotty insist on doing it when he knows our guy can't get the ball out on time.
I don't know if we even have hot reads. I'm sure we do. All I see is the other team bring pressure, Davis looks at the pressure, and then I hear the theme from Jeopardy until the sack happens.

Took on the Olineman. I think you better go back and rewatch that play. He looked scared and tried to get out of the way to safety as quickly as possible. Taking on the lineman would have been attacking going low and making a pile to clog the running lane. He did not do that.

You lost me at "Hill won't be here next year". That's 100% assumption that could be negated should they come to their senses and start him.

Well a lot of what we say on here is an assumption lol. I just don't see why Hill would want to stay here if he doesn't get to start at all the rest of this year. Especially considering how Davis is playing now and the fact that he only got to play a single half. If the Rams bring Bradford back and draft a qb, I don't see them resigning a qb in his mid 30's to a new contract. Just my opinion.

Much as I'd like to pile on AD, he was a guy who had some earlier success and the staff wanted to evaluate their options for 2015. I understand that reasoning, as well as the notion that it takes more than 8 games to do that. So I've no complaints.
My vent is this oline. Yes Davis doesn't help them out, but that doesn't change the fact that we are inconsistent at best controlling the line of scrimmage. And that is what it takes to win. For all the kissing up to Carson Palmer and his quick release, he was still losing the football game and getting rocked. Cardinals couldn't even muster a threat of a run game. The Cardinals defense won that game, so I think the notion that we just need a QB is only half a solution. The Cardinals OL could not control the line of scrimmage, and it forced them to play our game. All while getting their blitz beating quick throwing QB beat down and eventually hurt. It just drives home the notion once again to me that OL needs to be our 1st priority.
Oh and I continue to believe that Schotty should be replaced.

Defense gives up 17, offense gives up 14... so we're +3 in points.

True. But playing scared, and hurt, against a guy who is much larger than you doesn't exactly constitute as "sucking" the entire game.

Hill could not only be on the team as a backup, he could be the starter. We won't know if they don't start him.
I'm thinking the Rams don't keep AD. Why would they?

I'm assuming this will be the week we don't get shouted down for pointing out the obvious. Hill has always been the better choice. The deep talent of the skill players made Davis look better than he was for a few games.
Fisher may surrender possessions and let Schotty destroy seasons, but he won't keep losing with AD without trying Hill. This will be the week I would bet. Rams have ZERO chance against Denver with AD and a wildcard shot would probably require winning out from here on.

The Austin Davis show was nice while it lasted but the wheels have completely come off the wagon. I like his grit and fire as much as anyone - but let's be honest - we're lucky he didn't throw 6 picks in the 4Q alone today. Time for a fresh start w Hill...

It's time to see Hill - it's likely too late to make the playoffs - but if we want to win games - it's time to see Hill.

I often watch Green Bay play football(because they're always on TV) and i find myself daydream about having Aaron Rodgers handing off to Mason, Cunningham, Stacy....and throwing TD's to Tavon, Britt, Quick, Cook, Kendricks, Harkey every week.

See, here's what frustrates me the most about this Rams season... the halftime scores of the games.
Week 1: Down by 13 at the half (lost by 28)
Week 2: Up by 3 at the half (won by 2)
Week 3: Up by 11 at the half (lost by 3)
Week 5: Down by 13 at the half (lost by 6)
Week 6: Up by 4 at the half (lost by 14)
Week 7: Up by 15 at the half (won by 2)
Week 8: Down by 3 at the half (lost by 27)
Week 9: Tied at half (won by 3)
Week 10: Up by 4 at the half (lost by 17)
We're 3-6, but we were 5-3-1 going by scores at the half. If the problem was just that we stunk, we wouldn't have gotten these leads in the first place. Sadly, the solution to us just stinking would be a lot simpler too: A rebuild, and a real one, not one with a bunch of important pieces already in place for the new coach.
