How so? I think with a Goff or a Wentz waiting in the wings, it might only be a matter of 8 games (or less) we'd have a veteran starter. The O line improved as the year went on so perhaps with an off season and training camp, they might solidify even more. That would help any QB back there. Foles or Keenum would only be around half a season unless they played lights out....in which case we'd have a) a good record; b) youngster waiting to take over the reigns and c) a vet who will bring us some nice compensation in an off season trade next year. My money says Foles is much more apt to play "lights out" than Keenum. He's done it before.

Keenum is a free agent after this season, so no compensation (except possibly a comp pick which depends on any free agents the Rams sign) for him. Foles makes $12 million next season, which would reduce compensation for him significantly, especially since he's a free agent after that.
The chance of a mid round pick for Keenum in a year has to be factored in for him, of course, when the Rams decide what would be an acceptable offer for him. A future 7th would be laughed at. A first this year would likely be accepted. Much more likely that any offer would fall in between, and the Rams would have to decide if it were acceptable. I don't expect Keenum to be traded. I think Foles likely will for a late round pick or two, or as part of a trade to move up. That $1.75 million salary for 2016 has to be tempting, after all.

Strongly disagree on Sanchez over Keenum. I'd take Case over him and it isn't close, and to the Broncos he is familiar with their system. Broncs would jump on Case in a heartbeat for less than round 1 compensation.
And before you ask why they wouldn't just offer the Rams a round 2 pick for him, they might do that still. But the key is the Rams did not take chances with their projected starting QB which was very wise. Had they done that and lost him and not been able to move up it would have been catastrophic.

Stop
Rams got him for a 7th rounder after a 2-0 finish
I like the guy but let's be serious here.
Denver was only willing to give up a 4th for Kaepernick, what does that make Keenum worth? a 6th?
Related question: What does it make Foles worth?

Or... they could trade Mannion... cuz the Rams know what they have in Keenum and don't know what they have in Mannion and won't have time to find out.
And... Denver's desperate...

Far from it
They didn't over pay for Kaepernick, they didn't over pay for RGIII
They let Osweiler go
I don't see Denver desperate at all, in fact they seem pretty darned cool about it
