The Rams coaching staff must have known last season that they were seriously considering one of the top QBs in the draft this year, why didn't they shelve the season, try out Mannion at QB etc? Surely if we were closer to the top of the draft we wouldn't have had to have given so much real estate up for that #1 pick?

I know the question is hypothetical etc and we're going to get a franchise guy in Carson Goff, but there's so much talent in the fist 2 rounds this year.

Also, I'm killing time before the #1 pick is announced...
 
They weren't going to tank, they had a new QB they traded for and were at one point 4-3 and in the race.

And how do you know they didn't tank that last game? Sitting Gurley with a sore knee?

They didn't play Mannion because Mannion wasn't ready. the Rams OL was still struggling. the timing for Mannion just wasn't right. He'll get plenty of work this preseason.

I got ROD bucks says that doesn't happen... Not enough snaps...

Because making sure Gurley is ready for 2016 is more important than playing him in week 17 if he's injured
 
As I said I was being the devil's advocate, does anyone think it was more an opportunity to see what Rob Boras had in the tank?
 
I'm so excited I may need to have an ambulance on standby. This is more than Christmas to me. This is Gabriel,Feragamo (Cal.),Everitt,Warner and after watching film , knowing our coaches don't specialize in QB's or WR's . I think in time we will be ready for PRIMETIME ! Hope I live to see it. GOD BLESS GUYS !!! This is BIG!
