Time to start setting up the Rams QB future

[Corbin]

He also has 12 TD passes against only one interception in his last 4 games. Or, said another way, ever since Kyren Williams returned to the field.
Look I'm all for looking to the future and all but I'm really starting to think that Staff has a lot more football in him than we thought just a month ago.

Having said all that I wouldn't mind trading down to a team that is desperate for a QB but I don't see the Rams taking a QB any time before the 5th round if that.

Let other teams pay a king's ransom for one....we have a QB and his name is Matthew Stafford!!

~ArkyRamsFan~

Good post sir. Now that is a verifiable and logical counter point.

Doubt very much it happens. McVay will put resources around Matt until he quits then he'll address QB.

Yeah, you’re probably right, however I don’t see our FO seeing that way come May. Been right for a good while now since 2021 with general direction. Going to be interesting.

I’m sure there is a lot of 3 and 4 win teams in the playoffs, good thing you brought up the 120 rating.

I honestly get the feeling you dont watch the games.

If you would have posted this 4-5 weeks ago might have made sense.

 

[Ramlock]

Yes.

His accuracy has been pretty bad against anybody the last 5 outside of 3 win team. He’s 19TD/9INT’s this year. Last year 10/8.

He hasn’t had this low a completion % since his rookie and second year.

The aging progression is happening unfortunately.

Pretty easy to disagree with this theory.

 

[Corbin]

I wasn't singling you out, people not person. I hear it a lot. I didn't even pay attention to who posted it

Didn’t take it as a singling out, but this exact mentality is why the Rams haven’t been one of those consistent teams for decades with only good spouts. You have to constantly draft for the future, why not draft with this phenomenal class while it’s here? Nobody says we won’t have FA money and other draft picks to fill those holes you mentioned.

Why because I use stats and numbers to prove my point?

Yes, never watched a Rams game. Just look at stats.

Sounds about as accurate as

stafford had like 120 rating and 12 tds 1 pick the past 4 games.

Not sure what stats you mean sir.

They've said this year isn't a rebuild and honestly they're not playing like a rebuilding team.

Add in an upgrade for the OL either at LT or Center and be draft or FA
Add another RB to rotate with Williams same as the OL draft or FA
Add another WR with Robinson a FA and Atwell 1 year from it preferably that can return kicks

Add in an edge Likely FA
Add in a #1 CB (which I'm thinking will be their #1 pick hopefully in Wiggins)
Another DT

More cap space than we've had in a long while, a 1st round pick for the first time since 2016 and a lot of picks. This is all doable and a more likely scenario than resetting everything after bringing back Stafford and Donald for another year.

Pretty easy to disagree with this theory.

It’s not a theory, it’s numerically happening.

Same logic.

lol he does avg around a 120 rating and has 12 tds and int the last 4 games... that's 100% accurate.

And yeah, I never said you "never" watched a Rams game... just not lately.

Have a feeling I'm right.

Same logic.

The "FACTS" are that Stafford has been playing great the last 4 games.

your cherry picking completion %... stafford has never been a super high completion % QB in his career,

 

[Allen2McVay]

With 2024 QB draft class here and it’s very apparent the Rams are clearly in the market/interest for a QB and the future of the team which was made apparent by the drafting of Stetson Bennett.

This draft could be on level of that 83’ draft class. Not even considering Maye/Williams since they’ll certainly go top 5, that means there will be a race for Daniel’s, McCarthy, Pennix, or Nix.

There will still be plenty of teams around our draft position wanting a QB as well like the Vikings, Bucs, Atlanta, Seattle, Whiners, maybe Green Bay.

I’m in the firm belief we are and also need to target a QB if trading up or taking one at our position is feasible.

Staffords play has started to deteriorate slowly, with more and more erratic play.

It’s time.

I think at least some of the push-back you got here was the bizarre timing of starting this thread.

Early-2nd-half of a critical mid-December game. Just an odd time to start a thread about a future QB.

Man can’t really disagree honestly, you want what Im wanting and the probability of the needs/direction we’ll have.

Just think QB is a direct priority to hit now, but shit, if we end up in the 20’s getting in the playoffs might as well kiss this shit goodbye.

id say the bizarre time is more about how well Stafford has played the past 4 weeks...

No “ you’re cherry-picking” comment is solely due to the fact you don’t like my points but have zero facts outside of opinion to back them up.

Career completion % is 63.1, this is a low year for him judging by his career.

 

[OldSchool]

It all comes down to if McVay thinks he can't get 2 more years out of #9 honestly. I doubt we even draft a QB and convince Wentz to stick around he'll be a better #2 than anybody but a 1st round pick likely as a backup.

 

[AvengerRam]

Matthew Stafford has played 6 games in which he had both Cooper Kupp and Kyren Williams available. In those games his QB rating is about 108 and he had 15 TDs and 1 INT.

Here's an idea... make sure he has a supporting cast for the next couple of years to allow him to succeed.

He's part of the solution.

 

[Allen2McVay]

I agree but my point is that the Rams are playing meaningful games in mid-December.

I think that's just Great! I'm thrilled.

I don't understand not being completely locked-in on the game.

Maybe the OP is a terrific multi-tasker?!?

Career completion % is 63.1, this is a low year for him judging by his career.

So after this game he completion percentage is 61.4

Not exactly a dramatic decline... especially when you consider he has completed 76% of his passes twice in the last 4 games...

Puka also dropped what looked like a walk in TD so those stats could have looked even better.

 

[TexasRam]

While you have Donald and Kupp and money to free agent you make one more run with Stafford.

If this rookie class sucked and we were more then a few players away then yes, use that 1st rounder and some capital to move up and get a QB. But the rookie class is excellent and we are poised to make a run in 2024 and 2025 by adding a few win now free agents and draft picks.

Stafford has looked great with the Oline settled in and Kyren exploding behind Mcvays new system.

What we do in FA will dictate how, when and if we address the QB this draft or holdout 1 - 2 years. I think you likely take one but when is the question.

 

[Kupped]

Stafford's play, with the full offense, is more than good enough to win a Super Bowl.. imo.
