I wouldn't expect him to be cheap, either. A former starting QB, a former top prospect, is going to get some sort of serious offer - a signing bonus, and an expectation at least that he would be #2 behind a vet or the like.

Bring him in. He's healthy and the new environment, fresh start would probably be good for him. He's got the arm and I heard a report on the NFL station that in his rookie season he showed good accuracy. That's more than I can say for Foles. Keenum was hit and miss. I think the guy bounces back.

Defenses flat out stated that RG3 wasn't very good at reading what they were doing. Was it lack of study, lack of recognition or something else?
It's not like Tebow where his basic accuracy is in question or basic mechanics. But Shanahan made the transition for him easier and Gruden just wanted a QB for his system. Rams just need a QB, not someone who needs things made easier for them.
Has RG3 learned to read defenses? Has he improved on the mental side of the game? Cuz if not, he's done.

I'd rather take a chance and find out on a guy with a ton of talent than stick with a guy I know isn't good enough. But the truth is that I don't want RGIII or Keenum as the projected starter for the 2016 Rams.

The answer you don't want to hear is that there IS no good answer for the QB position this year.
Not a one.
There's a range from expensive and risky to "we already basically have that"
And sorry, based on how RG3 was getting swallowed up, he's not in Keenums class. So if you don't like Keenum, you'd hate RG3. Then again, he'd never win the competition.
Which puts us...where?
A quality backup as our starter with no good prospects for a quality starter.
Maybe we should just run the triple option...

The problem with signing this guy as a backup, would be the fans would make a big controversy out of it. If the starting QB threw a couple picks in a game, the fans and the media would start calling for RGme to start, and it would be quite the distraction.

Granted. But as the Chinese saying goes: Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
I've learned the hard way that sometimes getting what I want was the worst possible thing based on the outcome. It doesn't always work out.
Doesn't stop me from wanting things, but it has humbled me to the notion that maybe when I don't get what I want when or how I want it, that might be okay.

Well, I've been very careful...and now I feel very confident saying that if we get what I wished for, we'll do quite well in 2016 and beyond.

Depends on cost. If he's very inexpensive, and what I really mean by that is cheap, … then OK. I don't want RG3 in any way getting between us signing our own very important soon to become free agents and his signing a long term contract which hamstrings our ability to succeed during this free agency period.

Well I would not bring Keenum back he is clearly not the future. So Mannion,Rg3 and a rookie would fight it out.I'd rather do that than be in the same position next year looking for a QB.Granted we may lose a few more games but at least we would be moving forward with our future QB.And you never know 1 of 3 might just surprise us.So if Keenum is not our future then don't waste a year on him.
