QB Hints

[ottoman89]

Hog farmer hits the big time with NFL inside source.

I can believe that though. But if this were to happen I think the @den-the-coach victory lap would be shameful. Like maybe in the nude or something.

They sort of compared it to the Bo Nix situation (I think I said that earlier).

McCord can rip it.. and can make all the NFL throws, is a warrior. The athleticism is a worry but at the end of the day, give me a QB who can move around the pocket and rip it downfield vs the athletic guy that has arm issues.

Been watching, reading more of him and some have him as high as QB3.. been comparisons to Jay Cutler/Baker Mayfield as far as arm talent and style go. A very common thing ready is fast processor, smart and gunslinger. All of which seem to be traits of Stafford (no McCord isn't Stafford).. yes he "looks down targets" but lets not act like Stafford doesn't at times, and also, maybe it's because he made the correct pre-snap read?

I don't know shit about fuck, but the more I watch McCord.. the more I really like.

I don't know shit about fuck, but the more I watch McCord.. the more I really like.

Kid can spin it, more of a quiet leader, but quick to take blame and put it on himself. 4.95 40, he ran more at Syracuse than Ohio State, however, I know McCord can take a licking and keep on ticking.

That's what I want. A kid who can take a shot and deliver a dart. Sure, I want an athletic guy but at the end of the day.. I want my QB to be a QB and not a RB.

deliver a dart.

Subliminal messaging?

Agreed. Winning from the pocket remains the most important element for a QB. It's where the protections are. It's how you get to that old grizzled age of full QB mastery. Also no matter how well some guys run a quickly distributed ball is faster than any QB's legs.

If Stafford plans to play at least 2 more seasons, IMO, we go for a title this season while that window is wide open.

Those early picks need to go where we can get contributors right away so we can take a run at the title this upcoming season.

Maybe the Rams can do both?
What if they could arrange a trade with someone picking in the top 10 of the 2nd round, like the raiders? The raiders get back into the 1rst round to load up for new HC petey and his QB geno. The Rams move back into the 2nd. They give us their 2026 1rst rounder and throw in another pick for this year like their 5th.

The Rams have two 1rst rounders NEXT year to go after a QB, gain a pick for this year in the 5th, while the raiders use two 1rst rounders to jumpstart their new regime.

I would agree if Verse, Turner, Puka, and their other top guys were in their late 20's. They aren't though. This teams window will be open as long as they have solid QB play. Thus you grab a QB when you can as it is the absolute top priority for this organization over the next several years. They have to fund a successor that can take over for Stafford and continue leading this team through this window.

So take a swing this year if someone you like is within reach to draft. That doesn't mean you can't draft another next year if circumstances change and you have a shot to get a better prospect in 26'. You can always trade a young QB with upside.

I’m not going to say that I’ve paid a lot of attention on draft potential. But being that we don’t pick until #26 and don’t have a second, I don’t see us grabbing the best at any position. Would a TE start over Higs? Would we be able to grab a day one starter at CB, WR, or other position needing an upgrade?

If there’s a QB you think could be good after sitting behind Stafford for a couple years, you grab him. It’s the most important position on the field by a fair margin. If you miss, do it again. But ideally, they get their guy THIS year to give him more time to learn and hone his skills in your system.

 

[Memento]

I've got an idea: our fourth for Hendon Hooker of Detroit. He's obviously doing fuck-all behind Goff, and Detroit has traded with us before.

True, but a QB that can do something with his legs can gain positive yardage when and if a play is simply not there. And if he's good enough there to require a spy it can make for easier reads.

I'd simply love to see what McVay could do with a QB that can pass, but also do something with his legs. The Tom Brady, Peyton Manning type processors are far more rare to find nowadays, IMO.

 

[Merlin]

Yeah I think QB may be a top need for the Rams. Depends on where they're at with Stafford and how long they think he's got left both in horns as well as in the league.

And if they go QB at 26 it's gonna be a pick a lot of folks scream about I am sure. But if you sit back with some unrealistic board when it comes to QBs then you will never get the dude you want. And I don't think McVay gives a shit that anyone thinks he reached for his player. It's just that important, many teams don't have it, and we are potentially at risk of not having it if 9 hangs them up or plays hardball in 2026.

But, I agree that it would be a mistake to pass on a QB the organization is sold on.

Dart's ideal falling spot would be 26 to the Rams for that reason IMO. Gives the Rams a 5 year contract window, and he won't need to play immediately because they will have a QB1 and QB2 to take care of the snaps, barring him learning very fast.

I really do think we need to take a QB in the 1st especially for that 5th year. QB is so important and I hope our pick has 2 years behind Staff.

I also don’t know that we get a better option next season even if the overall position group is better. It’s likely our first round pick is at least 26th next year. If the QBs at the top are really that much better, how much capital do we have to give up to get one then? And what guarantee do we have that one would be better than a 2nd year QB?

He was absolutely awful in NY and had Aaron Rodgers mentoring him. He’d need a lot of work.

Do you really see Rodgers mentoring anyone? I seem to recall he refused to do that for Love.

Subliminal messaging?

Must be a British thing. I don’t get it.

 

[Flatlyner]

I've got an idea: our fourth for Hendon Hooker of Detroit. He's obviously doing fuck-all behind Goff, and Detroit has traded with us before.

I'd do that for sure. Not sure what the Lions plan is, they keep bringing in vets to the back up with a very solid prospect in house. I'd prefer Milton I think, but Hooker would be a welcome addition to our QB room IMO.

 

[rdlkgliders]

What I wouldn't give to snatch Stroud in 27' when his rookie contract expires.

 

[dieterbrock]

He absolutely did with Zach Wilson. Alas, it’s water under the bridge as neither Rodgers nor Wilson will wear horns.
I am on the draft a QB train, and I agree that 5th year option is a nice bonus.
I just don’t know how to go qb in round 1 if Dart is gone

 

[Ramstien]

I just don't see the Rams using an early pick on QB this season. They are set to make a run for the Superbowl and will roll with Stafford and Garoppolo, their 1st pick in the draft will a TE or CB.

Logic I agree with. And I'll add that since QB is a major crap shoot the best year to take a shot on the position is the current year. Provided one McVay likes is there.

Bennett for example they seem to have missed on. Otherwise he'd be our QB2 this season, and he does still have time to do something crazy like force the Rams to keep him around. But that's fine by me that they took a shot and missed, as Gretz said the only shots you know for sure you're gonna miss are the ones you don't take.

Sanders is falling faster than his dad's toe falling off. I hope the if he's there at 26, the RAMS draft a punter over him. I'm in Colorado and this guy is a ME not WE player. I haven't moved on from disliking him, his father or his brothers.

Nice thought but your proposal isn't anywhere close to even on the trade chart. No team is giving up a future 1st just to move up 11 slots.

If we want a future 1st, here are two trades that are even:

26 for 64 and a 2026 1st; or

26, 90, 101 for 37 and a 2026 1st
