Why would Burrows retire????

If we go veteran QB, we are gonna have to give to get, especially a great QB.... The window to get a great QB on a trade would be in the off season, but it would cost us a ton, and I'm diggin the way Stafford is playing.

To get a Burrows type QB we would probably have to package Nacua and Stafford and hopefully be able to hold onto our draft picks.

Maybe we can get Mac Jones from the 9ers at the end of the 2026 season without blowing up the ship.

Burrow won't retire, this is just the first steps in a trade demand. We'd definitely be high his list of destinations, along with the Vikings, but have more capital than most to acquire him.

I don't know. Need may have a say. Prior later round selections weren't necessary needed as immediate starters as the team had Ramsey for a few years and have hit on relatively inexpensive free agents (BTW, CB David Long was a 3rd rounder drafted before Rochelle). The problem now is most of the secondary is up for free agency in 2026 or probably aging out (Williams). Of course, they could go the free agent route again.

Rams haven't done too well in drafting corners. They seem to have a great eye for safeties, and coaching them up as well. But the corners it seems like they've saddled themselves with subpar options which tie their hands. Durant has developed but is at his core a flyweight cover option, Ford's rangy and has developed with us but doesn't have the juice for top draws.

I think this next draft may be used to restack that corner group. Their top pick is gonna be high enough to damn near have their pick of the group. They can position from there if they choose. Lot of different ways they can go, but I feel like Shula's had to make chicken salad back there at corner. We need a young stud who can fire off on the underneath shit without getting BBQd. And even then another midrounds would be nice to give the DC depth of options.

McVay will probably take one of those wideouts early and I don't blame him for that, given he's never able to get up high enough to get one of them. But maybe this will be the year for an influx of corner talent for Shula to help the defense become a dominant unit front to back.

Okay then....

But I'm leery of players that demand trades (if he does decide to do that).... It's as though they blame everything around them and forget about looking into a mirror to self correct.

As much as I romanticize about getting Mahomes in a Rams uniform, I think trying to acquire Mac Jones in 2027 makes the most sense and he can learn from Stafford for two seasons.

One prob for us is our 1st round pick in 2027 is probably equivalent to a high second rounder. Also we have Stafford, who would have to be telling the Rams this is his last rodeo (behind the scenes right now) for them to positioned to even compete for Burrow.

So first it's a longshot that Burrow hits the market. It could happen if he goes nuclear. But Cincy could also potentially settle him down with more money idk. But even then it may be that he's hitting the market a year too early for us.

I just don't want to see him in SF.

Yuck, no. I get there may be a bit of hesitation with a "diva" QB, but I don't think it applies in this case. Burrow is an at worst top 5 QB stuck in the worst organization in the league in his prime. If we have any shot at getting him to replace our aging star QB, we gotta go for it. First rounders gone without a second thought.

If you say so.

If Stafford stays healthy, he has at least two more additional productive seasons, and the chance to get Burrows will be long gone. And there is no guarantee McVay and Burrows will mesh.

I'm gonna stand by Mac Jones as the Rams better / feasible option.

I'm curious on why you feel he may be easy to sign.

For reference purposes, Dotson and Avila are the 4th and 5th highest rated guards respectively in the entire league. And Avila has allowed the fewest pressures (sacks+hurries+hits) amongst guards. Those numbers equate to both being highly paid.

FWIW, I'm basing my thoughts on resigning Dotson on not just ratings but watching him since he's been a Ram, he has done some truly impressive things in both run and pass blocking that go beyond just "wins."

Is there a "just about always in the right spot, doing the right thing and dominating opponent (s) and make him look silly stat" out there?

I don't see that as much with Avila though he really is rounding into form and showing signs of his rookie season this year.

Oh absolutely agree that Dotson is the better player right now. I just think that their respective ages and any remaining potential has to be factored in.

Ideally, we resign both of them.

You sure come up with some whack scenarios.

That's not a scenario just an example of what value could be needed in getting a top 3 veteran QB in the NFL to replace Stafford next season...... A replacement that isn't needed at the moment or next season. (if he stays healthy).

It took the Rams to deal their #1 overall pick away to get a 33 year old Stafford QB with a losing record.

To me (IMO) Max Jones is the best option in terms of free agency that coincides with Staffords timeline of effectiveness. And still have money to surround Max Jones with very good players.

Or we can come in last place in 2026 and get the #1 pick in 2027 and hope there's a college QB stud out there.

so we are going to sign Mac Jones as a free agent in 2027, pay him that money to sit behind Staff for two years and then become our starting QB in 2029 at the age of 31.

Good plan smh

LMFAO!!!! Do you watch Bengal games? IT IS EVERYBODY around him save for Chase and Higgins. Without those 3, the Bengals would have been threatening to beat Cleveland's record by going 0-17 any one of the last couple of years.

Talk about RamFan503 hitting the nail on the head!!!

Why not? If we don't have to break the bank ... too much.

I don't think Jimmy G is gonna be with us next season, as I'm sure he will find another team to have a season ending injury with.

Stafford became our starting QB at 33 and so far has bagged three good season for us.

If we are sure that Stafford is gonna play three more seasons of injury free football, I guess we can try and season a QB from the draft.

Why would I watch a Bengals games???? Well unless it has some impact for the Rams.

Couldn't imagine what the Rams would look like if we lost Stafford for nine games this season.... We would probably be competing with the Cardinals for the NFC West basement. And currently still a legitimate chance to come in 3rd place in the NFC west.
