Bryce Young Benched. Rams Project?

[Fatboy]

A simple no to Any Bryce Young trade ! the -- Fatboy

 

[Memphis Ram]

Many may disagree, but I really believe that if Stafford were willing to adjust he contract a couple years back he would have probably been dealt and the Rams starting QB would be Baker Mayfield.

Anyway, the only way Stafford gets traded now is if the season really goes south and there is a young alternative with some upside on the roster or the Rams are looking at a top 3 or so selection.

As for the former, Bryce Young is not that player.

That is the dumbest fucking thing I've seen on the internet in a long while and we're in an election cycle!!

I agree....I actually responded by calling him a fuckin idiot and stating that he must have CTE. Goes to show that not everyone should not speak their mind in the world of social media. What a dumb fuck

Hey den good to see you back. How are you feeling so far and how is the new hip doing?
Stay strong my friend; you've got this.

Thank you my Ram brother, rehab has been going extremely well. Went home the same day and it has been onward & upward day by day.

I must have missed the part where the Rams are also receiving 2-3 1st round picks in the deal. Otherwise, Chase Daniel's brain is less functional than Tua's

I missed the part where Snead and McVay were on a weekend heroine binge when they made the trade.

Oh, I think that was when they made the Ernest Jones trade....

I kid, I kid


Sorta....

I do not think he is done after this year. Just my opinion.
We do not know how this year is going to turn out.
We have the best coach in football.

Fair enough.
I still don't see any quarterback on our roster that has the potential to be our future quarterback.
By the time we DO develop our rookie starters in a year or so, who is our quarterback of the future that we're developing.
I'm not seeing ANYBODY.
That's a problem in my eyes for the future of this team.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Any alternate plan for a future quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams?

I'm all ears.

I'm fine with the Ernest Jones trade. They just need to get Speights in there.

But that trade offer they made to the Jets to move up for Brock Bowers was utter madness. And I really wanted Bowers on this team.

McVay pretty much made Cousins. Who was a nobody at one time so its not like he cant get it done.
But yes, we do not have the QB of the future on the team.
Sean and Stafford are tight. I do not think for one second if our coach had any inkling his QB might want to hang it up soon he would not put more effort into finding the next guy.
We do know the Rams gave up a LOT to get Goff and Stafford. I expect a giant trade up or for a vet at some point.
But I do NOT want ANY short QB we have to do anything special to see anything. Nor any QB who takes off running all the time because he is good at it. Maybe just once in awhile like Allen. ( who I would not mind on our roster)
But McVay's QBs have to be smart and tough. He is kinda like Martz in some ways. Both are hard on QBS.
Stafford is my kind of QB. I hope he ends up like Brady.

I bet a lot of people that live in Tennessee are fine with it.

Yeah I believe McVay and Stafford are real with each other. Meaning McVay made a real effort this year to stack the OL for Stafford, but the injuries and AJ being an asshole screwed it up. Also Stafford is honest I am sure with Coach in terms of letting him know where his mind is on retirement. Which is to say I don't think Stafford is thinking retirement. My guess is he is thinking playoff runs and titles and his HoF credentials.

Stafford still has a plus arm. There is no reason to think McVay is looking for a new QB1. But I agree we do not have the QB of the future on this team, which we can probably all agree is a clear truth, so that is something Coach will keep looking for. And since it makes more sense to me to prioritize LT (barring a draft structure that pushes us to prioritize QB instead) this makes me think the Rams are all in with Stafford for the next couple seasons.

Probably, but just like the Rams, Ernest and his Titans are 0-2.

I’ve always felt like when that day/opportunity comes, the Rams will be willing to make another bold trade in order position themselves to draft a prospect. Or bring in another vet gunslinger.

As we speak, the last couple drafts are rebuilding this team.

OL, WR’s, good young backs, maybe a premium pass rusher etc.
Basically, as Stafford gets older the plan could be to build a new foundation upon which the Rams could then “afford” to trade away some future #1’s (F them picks) and bring in a young QB.

Putting a rookie QB on a good/decent team rather than a bad team is a better plan….says Cpt Obvious.

Or they go for the next older suddenly available QB route. In hindsight I feel like we were pretty lucky to have Stafford fall into our lap though. He’s better than I gave him credit for when that went down . I can admit that.

The next logical pieces, with a young QB in mind down the road, is to get a legit LT and RT, and a potential #1 WR wouldnt hurt either.

Have the pieces in place so when you plug in a young QB or a vet QB, have the table set for that guy.

Maybe via draft you get your LT next year and maybe a RT via FA. Then possibly in 2026 you are in position to mortgage a few future first rounders to go get a QB you like who just might sit one year behind Stafford.

 

[PhillyRam]

If the house falls in and your 1-7 or 2-6 at the trade deadline, then maybe you do see if a contender is willing to trade for Stafford. Now, I don't think they do that unless Stafford wants to go to that team. I truely believe they would get his okay first.

And why I say that makes sense is, with a record like that, you will be in position to draft a QB in the top 5. Not sure that works with Stafford, who might want to play a few more years, having a top 5 guy on the bench for more than half a season.

 

[OntarioRam]

I am OUT on Bryce Young. But I don't know QBs. And the Rams pro level scouting seems solid at scouting QB talent. Stafford. Baker. Bortles. Wentz. It has been a while since I've seen the Rams bring in an external pro level QB of any note that was not a passable to great fit. The jury is still out on Jimmy G. If McVay and Snead think Young can work here, I'd be open to seeing them try, even if skeptical.

Agreed. Only real complication is pass game weapons. McVay wanting to trade up for Bowers demonstrates that weapons are his top priority. So glad we didn't get that done, as I like Verse very much.

Your mention above of us being in that high pick range is interesting too. That may in fact affect their thinking. It has to. The Rams are, after all, practical to a fault and completely ruthless.

But I am hoping for a wildcard season, deep playoff run, then trade up for LT.

QB will probably end up filled by a former high pick castoff or midround backup type who develops.

I just don't see Matthew Stafford making it 3 years to that ideal situation you laid out above,
