If Stafford retires, we'll have no QB and no first round pick. I'm not sure what you'd be expecting. Mayfield has had a couple good years, and McVay can do far more with a QB than that shit show in Carolina. Seems like a worthwhile risk to me. Worst case scenario, he sucks, and we draft a QB with our first round pick in 2024.
Would be worth considering if he's cheap.

Well I’m sure it was hard to sit him. He gets paid to play & Stafford is super competitive.
I though about posting he should sit out the week,but now The Rams are basically totally out of it.
I agree now he should sit out a few games at least.Whatever his wife’s thinking will probably come into play.

Hell no. Mayfield is garbage. We can do better. I'd rather trade for Gardner Minshew than play his sorry ass.

Better than Mayfield in my opinion. Means they'd be a clip board QB tho as I could see us drafting one eventually.

Wont have to trade for Minshew, he's a UFA after the season as well.
There will be a decent list of FA QB after the season, the question will always be how much $$ they are willing to take and how much they would value being behind Stafford on the depth chart but able to work with McVay.

If Stafford retires (just going with the thread), I'd go after (in no order) Aaron Rodgers, the backup in Baltimore Huntley, Daniel Jones, Andy Dalton, Gardner Minshew, Marcus Mariota, Jacoby Brissett and obviously still position ourselves to draft one to develop.

Yeah I just saw that and that was my knee jerk reaction to hearing Mayfield. I'd stay away from him. That dude had his chance and he sucks ass. Also I'm mostly answering to if Stafford retires. If it's for a backup, I really would go after a journeyman more the likes of a Dalton.

Dalton was Baker Mayfield when he flamed out in Dallas and Chicago, now he found a good fit and he's playing well. Baker has a pretty high ceiling, we've seen him play at a high level, but his .10 cent brain seems to have held him back.
Doubt he'd play the low base/high incentive deal the Rams would afford, but then again neither would/will Dalton (who will make about 6 mill this year)

Whatever happens at quarterback, they better do something about the line. If not, years like this will be the norm rather than the exception.

Could McVay fix Darnold? Have not watched him play much except when he beat us in 2020. So not sure what the root cause is to his failures. Seems big & athletic...I assume decision making is an issue. Might be able to fix that. I guess health seems to be a problem as well. That also might tie into poor decisions.
