Which QB should the Rams draft in the 1st Round next year?

Burrow is older? The man is 28!

There's like a .5% chance the Bengals would give up on Burrow even if they had a bad year due to him being injured.

Yes, I do respect the hell out of the Rams for exploring .5% chance plays.

I think there's a better chance of Brett Favre coming out of retirement to play for the Rams than there is of Burrow being traded

I don't think he will either, but a scenario of another lost season to injury that hands the Bengals the first pick AND if Manning is viewed as a generational QB talent.... they are moving Burrow and taking the cheap young star QB... Especially considering the Bengals cheap ownership.

Oh believe me I'm in the same boat. Basic yardwork is what keeps me "in shape" now. Shit's rough.

Joe Burrow getting traded

You are taking it out of the context of the scenario I painted. People would have laughed back in 2010 if you said the Colts were going to cut Manning a year later.

I am not saying Burrow will be traded. I said there were only a few teams that would trade the #1 pick next year instead of drafting Manning. I then pointed out that even the Bengals, if they went through a trainwreck season, could decide to move an expensive injury plagued Burrow in favor of a generational cost controlled rookie phenom QB.

 

[PhillyRam]

So my point was the Rams are not getting Manning (unless Atlanta craters) because any team picking #1 will take Manning. They won't trade the pick unless Manning comes with a lot of questions marks due to a questionable college season. And in that scenario he probably stays on school.

Physical work for me nowadays at 58 is mowing the back 40 with my John Deer Tractor, which like the 49ers comes with an automatic choke.

Nobody thought the Chargers would trade the pick either, but poof Eli was a Giant.

Absolutely not
They can go 0-17 next season and Burrow goes nowhere.

If Burrow has a potentially career ending neck injury that forces him out of football for an entire season (aka the Manning situation), neither the Rams, or any other team would trade for him

The entire league knew that Manning wouldnt play for the Chargers.
Heck even Mel Kiper got that right

So will Arch play the same game?

I was not talking about trading for Burrow. I was talking about teams willing to move an expensive injury plagued QB in exchange for a rookie phenom who has a cost controlled contract for 5 years. Burrow was a potential extreme example of that.
