I can just FEEL the heat from some of you..RELAX...lol. This isn't a hate thread. In the last year, I keep hearing familiar names like Kellen Clemmens, Case Keenum, Austin Davis, and Shaun Hill. All of these guys either work in the NFL still, or did last year. Shaun Hill is the one that isn't currently employed, but is still called a FA and has collected an NFL paycheck since 2005. While Hill did start for the Rams for a while, he revealed himself to be a back up after a few games by some major mistakes, which is the same for the other names on the above list.
These guys normally come in for short periods during a season, so they don't have the wear and tear of a normal starting QB. They don't normally have massive contracts, but they are decent ones because of the importance of the position. I think Mannion is better than all of the above guys and is a borderline starter, which probably means the Rams won't be able to keep him long term. Some team will see a starter in him and will pay him stupid money...If he is just a great back up, I think he will have a nice career holding a clipboard for a long time. Meanwhile, Goff will get a random sacks from guys like Mack every game, and for this reason I think Mannion will have a longer career....
