It's done man. Time to deal with it. Carrying bitterness is not good for the soul. Superbowl 36 the prime example.

.
Bitterness? hardly

Nah, at the end of the day I keep things in perspective: this is a game and a hobby to watch. What a team does or not won't make me upset. I just don't think Goff/Wentz is much better than what Lynch + a crap ton of picks would have been. Well, I think it is far worse for the team to be more succinct.

Who is he throwing to? Glad Mannion wasn't a total waste..... I don't get it. I hope it works out for us obviously but right now I'm not happy about this.

A couple things to add to the discussion. One we can trade Foles for any kind of pick we can and add a pick back in even if it's a conditional next year to the Bronco's based on snaps played ala Bradford trade. This frees up some rookie cap space about $2 million to sign another free agent to fill a "hole". And we picked up an extra 4th this year which we can trade down for a 5th and 6th to add in a couple more picks. I love this move I can only do the happy dance so much!

16 out 21 of these #1 drafted QB's were ALL Pro. So, If the past predicts the future, then the odds of the Ram's drafting a future ALL Pro QB are 76%! So many Superbowl appearances.
And one was Sam Bradford.....whaah whaahhhhhh.

It would be seriously epic to trade an entire draft and and half for a QB that doesn't start over Case Keenum. I think the new guy starts. But we should expect a Fisher press conference announcing "Case Keenum is our starting QB" regardless.
By seriously epic, do you mean a seriously epic fail?

Gave up waaaaay too much. Both 2nd's?? I could see one, but both? Titans get 2 #1 picks, 2 #2 picks and 2 #3 picks.

Jesus, one trade to win it all.... or to lose your job. Snisher has put the ink to their future one way or another.

Personally I think it was too much for this crop of QBs BUT if I'm wrong whoever they pick ends up being remotely good it'll be 100% worth it. Time to start praying to the football gods. It'll be rough having one pick and then nothing till the 4th round. Means they need to find a starting safety, third DT, a pass catching TE, another RB (thanks Tre f***ing Mason), another LB, and probably another CB with what's left in free agency or one of their other 3 draft picks post 4th round starting. That's a tall order especially with our limited cap room at the moment.
