There's two quarterbacks worthy of that slot. To the people who say that there isn't, wouldn't they want Roethlisberger with more mobility? Or a young Philip Rivers? Because that's Lynch and Goff in a nutshell.
Roethlisberger with more mobility? A young Phillip Rivers?
Would Lynch be the bigger guy who played lights out for 3 college seasons and led his team to a one loss, #10 overall rating and MAC Championship? Would Goff, plus about 20-25 lbs., be the 4 year starter who excelled like Rivers did in college? The one that stood tall in the pocket taking shots.
Shoot, I'd also love the next Eli Manning (Sam Bradford), Steve Young (Jake Locker), Fran Tarkenton (Johnny Manziel), Micheal Vick (RG III), etc, too.
Either way, if the Rams were to select one of those underclassman spread QBs, I'd hope that they would simply shift to a spread offense and play them to their strengths.
This is the one thing i'm sure of.
I'm still rooting for wins, but i'm emotionally detached until the offseason now...so if the losses keep piling up i'm good.
The threat of the Rams or Cleveland drafting them should make sure of it!
I think they would be foolish to stay another year.
They seem to be the consensus 1&2 qbs in this draft.
Didn't Locker stay another year when he hot? The next year he wasnt. He would be much richer now had he come out a year earlier.
Well, actually, kind of.
Lynch's production other than his freshman year isn't all that different from Big Ben's and Lynch led a perennial loser in Memphis to 10 wins last year and 9 wins so far this year. But I wouldn't say Roethlisberger is his comparison.
As for Rivers and Goff...well, yes actually. That sounds about right. Goff is a 3 year starter that excelled behind a bad OL. Outstanding pocket presence, touch, and accuracy. Has a lot in common with Rivers. But yea, he does need to add some weight.
Goff's strengths perfectly fit a NFL offense.
Anyway, losing out is damn near guaranteed!
Fisher can't fix the Offensive coaching, the Oline, the QBs. the WRs, the TEs, and the depth of the whole team in the next four years, much less the next four games, even if he showed the slightest desire or ability to do so.
And he shouldn't be here to try!

Lynch's head coach went to Virginia Tech. Goff seems very unlikely to return as well.
If we pick a QB first we need to surround him with talent. Look at how the Bengals, Raiders, and Jaguars surrounded their guy with good talent immediately. We can't expect to plug a young talented guy into our team and expect him to do well. Our receivers and blockers aren't the best either. Both need to be majorly improved.
Our first three picks may need to be offense.

I don't see why the Bears would be willing to let him go. If he hits the market, why would he want to sign with a team with no QB. If we get him, it will have to be through trade.
Draft talk for Christmas? Ah, the Rams way.
Crazier things have happened.
A young improving oline, an exciting player in TA and Gurley.
Maybe a young talented qb taken in the first rnd of next year's draft.
A big paycheck.
Sounds OK to me.
Totally ok by me. The reason the run game sucks now is because nobody fears our passing game. Jeffrey would open up so much for our offense.
The run game sucks because as soon as the ball is snapped there's three d lineman in the backfield
