Rams chat with Jim Thomas: 1/5/16

This is incorrect. Fitzpatrick wasn't a FA last year. Houston traded him to the Jets.



I would have worked out a deal with the Browns.

For Manziel or McCown?

Neither. Didn't need to get a QB in the Bradford trade. We had other options.

You said you "would have worked out a deal with the Browns". What did you mean by that?

Chip Kelly and Snead (IIRC) both said the Browns offered #19 for Bradford. I would have gotten with them and tried to work on a deal. I would have preferred their 2016 1st for Bradford. But odds are that wouldn't have worked so I would have seen if I could negotiate them up to their 2015 2nd and 2016 2nd rather than #19. Some might say...why not just take #19? Because I don't think it was a strong class. Would have rather gotten a future pick. Especially with our QB future in limbo.

The next question is...what would you have done at QB? I would have tried to trade for Mike Glennon, Ryan Fitzpatrick, or Chase Daniel. I think we could have gotten one of the three.

Of course, again, this is looking at things in hindsight.

One thing Nice, IF the Rams do relocate back to L.A. We won't have to put up with JT anymore!!
IF we could only be so lucky as to get ride of Wagoner too!!
(NOT THAT I WANT THE TEAM TO MOVE!! I DON'T!! it's just these two guys BUG ME!!)

 

[LACHAMP46]

If you can go back, do you make the Bradford trade again?

I don't think I would've done it in the first place. I think I would've signed a veteran to complete against him and drafted a QB.

amen to that. ME TOO!!!!

MAN!!!!!! JT aint crazy....he just acts that way sometimes..... I thinks the man really knows his football...
