Hypothetical but possible trade ideas???

[Merlin]

Yea Rosen is not a trade target. He is in that early stage where his draft value carries over. He requires a couple more poor seasons before he will be a potential trade piece for a team that needs a backup.

 

[NERamsFan]

For me, I'm keeping our one and looking for a starter, packaging it for a stud with a fifth year option in play (Ramsey!), or trading down for more selections, no way am I using it to help land a backup esp. at qb.. We are this close to a Chip, we need to make these moves count both long-term AND short-term. Hell, I'd even consider a trade up for TJ Hock if we are in good position to fill voids on D thru other means.

 

[Merlin]

I don't see anything special in him that would make a team want to trade for him. At best a 6th rounder?

I'm not high on JRey either. But offering him for Reed might get Washington's interest. He does have some upside, club control, and could start quickly in the same scheme.

It would be a bit of a contract dump. But it would make our offense better.

 

[Akrasian]

Is there any reality behind this Rosen trade scenario? It seems less likely than trading for Von Miller AND Jalen Ramsey. Which I put at 1% probability.

This is a hypothetical trade thread.

Not sure if it's really possible, though, at this stage - but not sure how many suggestions in this thread are realistically possible, anyway.

Right, Rams would send a 1st and 4th in return for Rosen and pick 65. Snead should have his GM card revoked if he payed that price for Rosen or any backup QB. A late first is still a first. No way.

And the Rams would have been laughed at if they had tried to trade Goff for a 1st and 4th after 2016.

Rosen looked better than Goff as a rookie.

Agreed but not by much. Goff might have looked better with Fitzgerald instead of Tweedledee and Tweedledum to throw to. Doesn't really matter. Both were high picks surrounded by minimal talent in a bad offense. They are very comparable in terms of value after each QB's disastrous rookie season. I would hope you'd agree with that.

Again, it comes down to what value you place on a back-up QB you could win with and whether you think Rosen is such a QB.

Sure but how often do teams sell 1st rd or even 2nd rd picks for backup QB's? Historically it's when a team unexpectedly unearths a QB who is better than their current proven starter so they put him on the trade block....and the willing trade partners come calling in droves.

Meh, i won't debate a weird take. I think it's a tad ridiculous but it's all good Flv.

 

[Mojo Ram]

I'd like to have a good backup QB. All teams would like to feel like the offense won't fall off a cliff if the starter goes down, but the reality is that there aren't enough good starters in the league so....

As for the Rams' situation i think a smart, veteran/journeyman pocket QB who has game experience under his belt would be the wise choice. OR...draft a running QB. You can give defenses fits when those guys suddenly come in and start making off schedule plays, scrambling around etc. They're just hard to gameplan for on the fly and you can win a few games.

It’s a terrible contract, Washington would take a hit and he’d cost plenty. And of course there is the fact that he’s missed 18 games in the last 3 seasons.
Heck I’d rather take Vernon Davis over him.

That's fair. I do agree its time to pursue a viable backup to Goff. Mannion would surely falter if he had to step in. Is it time for the Rams to go after a backup QB via the draft or a FA? Decent QBs can be pulled in the mid rounds (see Kyle Lauletta Round 4 Giants 2018). I also wonder what the Broncos are going to do with Case Keenum. I believe his days as a starter are running out.

He'll likely be too expensive as a backup, at least right now.

I think the Rams need to use a third or fourth on a QB, as well as sign a relatively cheap vet for a year. If they hit on the draft pick, they'll have three more cheap years - and a potential comp pick after that. But in the current NFL, teams need to keep a pipeline of cheap kids for their backup QBs. QBs get paid too much to have two expensive players on the roster, at least most of the time. I hate for the Rams to need to use a decent draft pick for that - but anything else will likely mean the Rams would need to use an expensive free agent that will cost them a good player elsewhere.

 

[Merlin]

I suspect our backup QB will be Perez. Of course one can never underestimate the stupidity of NFL GMs when it comes to overpaying a QB, however he knows our system, knows the coaches and locker room, and barring him getting a very hefty backup level paycheck I think the Rams have the inside line to at least get him on a short term contract to compete for the backup spot.

Jake from Downtown Rams thinks Goff is worth three firsts. Would you trade Goff for 3 firsts and the ability to draft Kyler Murray to replace him?

Nope, Loyal.

On second thought, make that “hell no”. Lol.

Goff is our meal ticket for the next 12-15 years.

Kyler Murray?

Its even better to never have to play one...
Truth of the matter is unfortunately when the #1 goes down, the season is pretty much over. At least in terms of winning a SB. That said, you'd like to at least have a guy who can run the offense so the rest of the team still gets their reps, and chance to play. Keep the team sharp for when the #1 comes back.
I don't see where Mannion can be the guy, but that's ok. If McVay thinks he can keep things from going completely off the rails, then so be it

As long as we are aiming for the stars with no chance of getting there - I believe Goff should be traded for three firsts, four seconds, five thirds and a lifetime membership to the Orchids of Asia Day Spa.

I've enjoyed the shift in how Goff's career has been framed.

Bust. Puppet. System QB. Easy to rattle.

You know the rest I don't need to tell you. I think you'd agree it's the least accurate narrative of ALL the QB's in the NFL.

And that persists. Yet the last two years he has been excellent overall. Yeah some not great games and a couple of clunkers but he's just out of puberty. And how many "wow holy shit" games has he put up? Loads.

Over 8500 yards, 60 TD's and only 19 INT's. And two Pro Bowls. That's not a bad two years for a 23 and 24 year old player.

Yeah he's taken some lumps in the post season, but I expect that to change.

I would to draft Haskins. Not because I want to get rid of Goff but because of Haskins’ accuracy and upside to go along with a rookie contract and the 2 other picks.
