Stick with the "old man" !!!!
Stafford needs a wheelbarrow to lug his giant nut sack around.

He won't be better than Stafford next year, or the year after, and probably not after that. No.

Agreed. And if we get in a shootout with Minnesota in the playoffs there’s ZERO question which QB Id rather have.

Only QB I'd want over Stafford right now that we could have had was Mayfield, who threw for 5 TDs today.
But that didn't quite work out, so we roll with our guy until he decides to hang it up.

I would not pay 40-50 mil who has not proven themselves in a Rams uniform.

My name is Stan. Just don't call me Kroenke.

I’d pay Jimmy G 10-15 for 2-3 years before I’d do something ill advised like that. Especially now they have a full year of tape on this version of Darnold. And exactly like @Jacobarch stated, Darlnold is a product of the players around him, the success is not because of him. Other words he’s not the source of the success.

Want proof? See if Minny signs him to a 40-55 mill a yr. Contract after this season.

Speaking of potential signings next season, does anyone think the Rams would be interested in a FA WR like Tee Higgins if he's on the market?

Stafford’s old
Darnold’s 27
Need to look long term
Always had the talent - third pick in draft
He’s finally been coached up (by McVay disciple)
Played on the worst two teams in league first five years
Never had ANY weapons prior to this year
Next year is last of Stafford contract
USC/SoCal boy
The Rams lost a lot when Kevin O’connel went to the Vikings.The Rams have that sorry AZZ OC who was with the Jets when he got cut ? Traded 6th rd 2021 - plus 2nd & 5th in 2022. From the Jets.


He then beat out Baker in Carolina,& when Mayfield became a Ram.
—Thought he’d beat out Purdy,but he didn’t.So why not Brock Purdy - lol ???
—-Jimmy G’ Spot was the Man!! Let’s see what he does this SUNDAY!!

I say no, but we need to start looking for a successor to Stafford this off season.

Stafford's gonna play out his contract. Two more years after this one. He'll win two Superbowls. Retire. In the HOF in 5 years. They will sign a soon to be 32 year old Baker Mayfield to a 4 year deal. Two more championships in that time. McVay will be considered the best coach in league history.

Honestly, I hope our next QB is more in the mold of a QB with wheels. Someone who can get first downs with his legs when needed.
Dual threat type that open things up more.

I don't know what we do, but we need to do something soon. For them to either sit behind Staff for one more year or rip the band aid off now and go through some growing pains. I prefer the former, but we still need to figure something out.
I would happily trade down in the first round of 2025 for a later pick + that teams 2026 1st if the 2026 QB class warrants it. Sadly, I am not sure it does unless we could luck into the top pick and Archie Manning

Daniels run-ability won the game for Washington last night. That mobility was huge for them.

Lamar Jackson runs too much for my liking, and Daniels probably was asked to run too much… so, definitely not wanting a run-first QB… but yeah mobility would be sweet.

Well they couldn’t have kept Mayfield since they had just given Stafford a 4 year extension off his Super Bowl victory.

Call me crazy but, sign, Fields to be our back up next season. He gets a year or 2 under Stafford and can be worked into the game plan as a mobile QB on some plays that throws the defense off. Dude has a strong arm and is extremely athletic. Worth a swing IMO and probably cheap. I'd rather have him then JG.
