So what's the contingency plan if Keenum goes down?

[TXRams86]

If there is something to learn about the recent injuries to Romo and Bridgewater it's that injuries can and do happen to starting quarterbacks. Last season, Keenum went out with a concussion and we had the "pleasure" of having Nick Foles to take over for a bit.

Fast forward to this year. What's the plan if Keenum goes down? Does Fisher roll with Mannion or does he give Goff the nod and force him to learn on the fly? Does our record at the time play a factor in who Fisher decides to go with?

After tonight's game it's Goff

Last thing Rambfans should be thinking about. In fact it's nice to have a solid offensive line starting a season. Can't remember the last time Incould say that.

I say, we all run around, and pull our hair out...chicken little style.

No, Faulk called it like I would. Injury to Keenum in game, bring in Mannion. Next week, if Case is still hurt, start Goff. Thinking behind it, is that Mannion would give us the best chance to win that weeks game, but with a week of practice to cater to Goff's strengths, and full prep, why not go with Goff.

Its Mannion, Goff isnt ready at all until he can handle a snap, thats when we can talk about starting him, but his turnovers are definitely a problem when it looks like this team isnt going to be scoring a lot of points

Right now you gotra go with Mannion. That could change in several weeks, but from what we've seen, Goff cant even call the plays right in practice. I feel like we drafted a manchild and I'm dissapointed thus far. Hope he gets it quickly.

Fisher just said in his presser that Sean is #2 because Jared isn't ready. So there's your answer. Was really hoping Jared would win the job because according to the "experts", he was the most pro ready. Which is outrageous

It honestly doesn't surprise me. It took Mannion a year to be ready enough to be a backup. At that rate, Goff won't be ready to start for at least 2 years. The lack of quarterback development falls solely on the coaching staff...that Fisher is the leader of. Fitting a square peg into a round hole, the Fisher way. Chip away enough of the square peg's talent and it'll eventually fit.

"contingency plan if keenum goes down"

Is that like do I have a contingency plan if I snap my tee on my drive?

Yeah, I can't agree with your take, because if your take is correct, then a great coaching staff, could have any QB ready to play, despite playbook, physical attributes, prior experience, etc.

It doesn't work like that. Our new offense, the Peyton Manning offense, as it is referred to, is complicated, and Goff hasn't ever been in a huddle, since even before high school.

High School, and college teams, only play to win, and don't give a flying fuck about developing players. I think that is a shame.

^THIS^ I think this is how we will attack the season if something happens to Case.......

Go Rams........

 

[Ballhawk]

So, Dak Prescot was the only pro ready QB in the last draft? Goes to show what people know about QBs. LOL

You play Mannion. It takes more than five minutes to learn how to be a NFL QB.

He been said Sean was the number 2, some people just couldn't beleive it.

Fisher says a lot of things.

If Goff is in street clothes on the sidelines game #1, the pick is a FAIL
Heck, Jamarcus Russell at least dressed for his first game

I agree. Goff has to be the number two. They invested way too much not to have him ready on the sidelines. If they're worried about his psyche by not throwing him in the fire early, imagine his confidence level if he's inactive on game days.
If Keenum goes down, Goff has to be the guy. They just dumb down the playbook and rely on the running game more. Even if he plays badly. There's always next game. This is not a one day or one year investment. This is for the next ten to fifteen years.

Quite sure there is a rule in the NFL that if you lose a QB the 3rd QB can be active, but that means the number one guy cannot come back into the game, so Goff would never be in street clothes even if he's listed as inactive.
