It might not be up to him, his body has endured quite a beating over the years, it's not like Tom Brady, who was hardly hit. I believe Stafford wants to keep playing, but his body might tell him otherwise.
I certainly understand that line of thinking. However, a rookie QB doesn't break the bank so we'd have cap left. I look at it as even if we have all the pieces, Stafford can and will probably get injured, poor guy just does. Better to have someone waiting in the wings that has major talent. Stafford is no spring chicken so I'd day if we happen to pick high enough, you take the QB. Hell, I can't get the horror of Rypien out if my skull. We'll see what route the Rams eventually take but right now, looks like we are picking too high for a QB pick.
Tumak61 only guessed that Wentz could be the plan after Stafford retired.
I feel a QB would be a luxury pick next year. Sure, we are going to need one soon but I'd concentrate on keeping Wentz as a backup next season. The QB list coming out next year could be pretty close to this year's list by the end of another season. I think we concentrate on filling all the other holes this draft and FA. Stafford may play two more seasons. Of course, it's all a crap shoot because these are all kids in the draft. No matter how big, strong, and fast they are, they are still kids.
Agreed. Nix is always about the next play. He finds a way to elevate the team with his confidence. I think he fits into a McVay offense perfectly, and adds his running ability to that game.
Can't say it's luxury if we pick high. At the rate the Rams are going, Rd 2 may be appropriate to draft a QB, but there are just too many variables to see how it pans out. I only say go after a QB if we are picking really high. No matter what type of talent a team has, QB is by far the most important piece to having a chance at a championship.
I'd say teams in need of a QB:
