Okay one can surmise that the Los Angeles will add another signal caller before Training Camp starts, hell, they will add a camp leg too, but who wants to write about that? Anyway the Rams had three Quarterbacks try out at the rookie minicamp and none of them might be signed because a team could release a Quarterback the Rams could be interested to give a look to like the Colts releasing Center Austin Blythe for example, but let’s take a look at Matt Davis of SMU and Bryan Scott of Division III Occidental College as I for one hope the Dylan Thompson shipped has sailed.
Matt Davis from the highlights seem to get a majority of the snaps and does offer a different dimension at the Quarterback Position. He can run and did that more often in college than pass for the most part. He will never be confused with Bobby Douglas as Davis is just under 6-1 and 194 pounds so size and the ability to run a pro-style offense will come into question, however, he ran for 761 yards in 2015 and 10 touchdowns and I can’t remember a Ram signal caller having the ability to run since James Harris and please to don’t respond to this about T.J. Rubley.
Also let’s keep in mind that the camp arm will most likely be added to the practice squad and Davis would be a good candidate to get the Rams ready for a Dak Prescott or a Russel Wilson for example with his elusiveness and similar size as well again something the Rams don’t have in Jared Goff and Sean Mannion.
Now the kid I am rooting for most is Bryan Scott because of his arm and background being that I played Division III football too, plus his size reminds of Kurt Warner. Scott is 6’2 220lbs and Warner was too. Scott has a big time arm and was invited at USC pro day as they did not have a Quarterback and had many receivers. Scott tossed 65 passes that day all were caught with the exception of two, one dropped and the other because the receiver ran the wrong route.
Scott not as elusive as Davis, but does offer the ability to stand strong in the pocket and was compared to Big Ben for the fact that unlike Lindsay Lohan, Scott does not go down easy. Scott also came from more conventional pro style attack so taking snaps under center should not be an issue as we did see Goff have to get acclimated to that style last season.
Overall it might be totally somebody else and if it comes down to Davis & Scott most likely Davis because offering a total different style and coming from a better program, but Scott has big hands and a big arm and at the USC Pro Day did not seem like the stage was too big form him so we shall see in the coming weeks who will be the camp arm in training camp and who knows???? They might sign both.
