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

Precisely my point.


My comment was in part because you were so quick to act like the kid is sticking around due to only good reasons. Trying to keep it real. There could be much more in play in that young head of his, and we don't know what his motivation is.

Many young kids nowadays, in fact, are afraid of the unknown and will hang around with some bullshit in spite of the fact it's better for them to venture into that unknown. You can disregard it all you want. Knock yourself out. But none of us know what's in his head.

I'd like to see him succeed next year. So on top of all that the further point was that if he doesn't get good protections and sucks ass again in 2026 it's gonna kill his draft value. Now he may be too young to realize all that. But if he has an agent I would hope his counsel was to seek out a better program that comes with weapons and protections.

I was quick to act like there are personal reasons why a player might choose to stick with his team over transferring to a better situation because we must account for the personal in these situations. You can certainly make an argument that he's not sticking around for good reasons, and the strongest argument there is that he's sticking around because SC is paying him a lot of money to do so. The argument you're actually making isn't compelling, so yes, I will choose to disregard it.

I'd also like him to succeed. He might have made a mistake going back to SC. But he's made his decision, and he'll have to live with it.

I think the biggest bummer for Sellars is the track record of QBs translating to the NFL from the Briles/Heuepel system is awful. He coulda gotten a bag at several schools. He’s not going to develop in that system.

Well since we're giving opinions on opinions I think you're too quick to disregard his play and hang massive hopes on him, when he's given indicators on the field that are very concerning. Talking about taking him in the top ten is crazy. The kid's had plenty of flags that make me wonder about where his head is, and I think that's well within reasonable discussion.

So yeah let's disagree.

Biggest bummer for me is he won't be in the draft to push another player down to to the Rams selection.

Maybe I am. It's a big risk, but it's one I'd have been willing to take in the right spot. Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson all had major flaws coming out of college. But they overcame them and are all NFL MVPs. Plenty of other guys didn't overcome their flaws. You win some. You lose some.
