Rams trade 7th for Keenum

[Lesson]

I don't have a problem with Keenum, per se. But I do have an issue with giving up any asset for a player who was on the roster the majority of the previous season, even if it's for a 7th.

So when Keenum stands on Austin Davis' shoulders they are the same height as Nick Foles.

Meh, if they liked him that much why didn't they hang onto him last year. I guess its good foles needs some compitition but I was hoping for someone a little better than Keenum

He needed to learn the playbook last year and Schottenheimers playbook had 400 plays in it. He was an emergency QB but they couldn't really make use of him. He is a good backup.

Some of the pieces are starting to come together here. Case Keenum came from an explosive spread offense at Baylor, Austin Davis was HIGHLY productive in the high-speed spread attack at Baylor, and they just plucked Foles off of that fast-paced spread attack in Philly.

Who is Cignetti though, and how does he fit in? He’s coached primarily pro-style offenses using both the WCO and the digit systems. The thing I’m reading that he likes to do, however, is give a bunch of different looks to make the defense try to guess what’s coming instead of saying, “here’s what we’re doing, try to stop it.”

I’m very interested to see how this offense is going to take shape. There isn’t a single QB on this roster who even resembles the prototypical pocket passer anymore. Does the key to beating teams like SF and SEA entail beating them at their own game?

LMAO THATS CLASS RIGHT THERE BOYO!!

 

[JCK363]

Didn't Fish say at the end of last year that a new offensive philosophy was coming?

 

[Zombie Slayer]

Let's give these guys a chance to play first before saying that the Rams have lost out on these trades. Even if Keenum doesn't play at all this year, trading a 7th for a guy with starting experience is almost certainly better than anything you'll get in the 7th of a draft. I like what I see so far, as long as they get help on the Oline and at least bring Britt back.

Umm...Case Keenum played at Houston and Austin Davis played at Southern Miss but you are correct in they both were very productive in a spread offense in college

 

[Simba]

Opsss, I'm sorry!I haven't seen!

 

[Legatron4]

Opsss, I'm sorry!I haven't seen!

WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK THE GOD DAMN SEARCH BAR FIRST.

Oops. I put Baylor in there twice. My bad.

Thanks for pointing it out. He was recruited by Baylor, but signed with Houston. You're right.

Foles Keenum Davis

That's our 2015 QBs.

meh.....I thought we were in "win now" mode??

 

[Mackeyser]

What makes you think before seeing anyone in OTAs that we're NOT in win now mode?

No one wins the SB in March.

 

[markstewart67]

Now we have two young QBs with starting experience who combined are still cheaper than SB, good moves by the front office I think.

how much cap space did we save?

 

[Ky Ram]

how much cap space did we save?

SB was 13 mil I think, Foles is 1.7 and I don't have the hit on Keenum but I'm sure it's less than that.

 

[Slappy967]

I like this move as well as the Foles trade. Keenum is a talented QB and will give Austin Davis a run for the backup QB gig. Now that we are set at QB we go OT in the 1st right?
