what about bringing back Fitzpatrick? all we need is a game manager under center and refortify the line. just a goddamn game manager please!
why did we let him go again? another blunder?If we can't get our QB of the future or he needs to sit and mature for a few years like a fine wine there'd be a lot worse options than Fitzmagic to wok behind. Of course he's limited, but he is very smart and can play well within a scheme you adapt to his strengths. His experience would really help. And yes he'd be an upgrade as it is anyway.
If we're not going to play Mannion to see if he could handle the #2, these last 5 games is a battle between Keenum & Foles to see who IS the #2......Loser goes home....Mannion stays as #3 ANOTHER YEAR...and either DRAFT a QB high (Goff or Cook) and play him....or sign Sam to a cheap deal....1 year prove it...yea, I said it...esp. if Fish is still here with Cig....If not, blow it all up except for the DRAFT a QB high thingy......
He is a FA after this year. I would be surprised if the Jets let him go unless they are dumb enough to buy into Smith still.what about bringing back Fitzpatrick? all we need is a game manager under center and refortify the line. just a goddamn game manager please!
His weaknesses were pretty clear to see if a person had watched him play. Im not a fan but I am surprised how badly he has done. The part that is just blindly terrible is signing him an extension before seeing how he would play.Deal Breaker here Bad decision on Foles period! :rant:
Rams appears cemented to Paying Foles close to 9 million next season is ONE very big mess. 100% total waste of cap funds! Rams paying Foles a bonus of $6M in March of next year is not funny
Am I reading this wrong here ?????that releasing Foles sometime late August after he shows once again he can not win here leaves the Rams on the hook close to 10 million in dead cap money? Please tell me I am just stupid in math & no understanding of contract readings & I will feel better.

Just an FYI:
- Most don't see 2016 as a top QB class
- Over the last 10 years
----- 19 QBs have been taken between #1 and #16 ( avg 1.9 per draft) [11 now starting]
----- 7 QBs have been taken between #17 and #32 ( avg .7 per draft) [2 now starting]
----- 9 QBs have been taken between #33 and #48 ( avg .9 per draft) [2 now starting]
----- an average of only 3.5 QBs were taken in the first 48 picks of the draft and less than half of those are now starting (.
In this class, I'd guess 2 will go between #1 and #16 and two between #17 and #48. I no teams are desperate for QBs, but I wouldn't assume a bunch go early or that huge trades will be made to move up for one. I don't think any QB in this draft is as good a prospect as either Winston or Mariota was last season. There are some very good non QB prospects, which are much safer immediate impact players, which I think will go early. I don't think professional NFL FO people are as likely to move up for a QB as fans are.
But don't we have to try to improve our QB position? Via draft, I mean?
I think so, but that doesn't mean you overdraft one.
