Morning Ram-blings: QB options?
By Nick Wagoner

http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/10942/morning-ram-blings-qb-options

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- There has been plenty of discussion about the St. Louis Rams adding help at the quarterback position after Sam Bradford's season ending injury.

As coach Jeff Fisher is quick to point out, those conversations have not taken place within the confines of Rams Park, at least not yet. While Fisher says the team wants to be patient to see if any potential backup options to starter Shaun Hill become available, our man Field Yates took the time Monday to offer some possibilities.

Yates went into further detail in this Insider piece Insider, providing some names and the thought process that would go into each one.

Clearly, there are many opinions on this topic from fans and media alike but the only one that really matters is Fisher's. He's serious about Hill being the starter so it's probably best to move on from the idea the team will be looking for anything but a possible backup as cuts are made.

I.C.Y.M.I.

A roundup of Monday's Rams stories appearing on ESPN.com. ... We began a busy day with this week's projected 53-man roster. ... Next, we got to the Ram-blings by trying to offer something to cheer fans up. ... From there, we took a closer look at the dark cloud that seems to be hovering over the Rams since 2002 or so. ... Lost in the Bradford news was some actual good injury news on four key starters. ... This week's rookie review looked at snaps and production for the rookies against Cleveland. ... We closed the day with Fisher's strong words emphasizing Hill is the guy.
