I would bet Keenum is the veteran that starts until the 1st round pick is ready to take over. There's one on every roster that takes the franchise QB.

I hope not I would upgrade there with somebody like Chase Daniels of the Chiefs, IMO, he's more elusive than Keenum with a better arm and then draft Lynch or Wentz with the 15th pick and go from there.

[dieterbrock]

as a backup, sure, but he's no different than having clemens as a backup, or as a starter for that matter, imo... wentz? sign me up.

Clemens, Keenum pretty much same player. And all you look for in a backup. Have some experience, can be crafty and you pray to god they never play a meaningful down. Haha
If Flacco can go from 1aa to a team with a great defense, great running game and make a playoff run, I don't see why this kid can't.
Wentz that is...

Are you focusing on Wentz because he's the most likely to be available or because that's who you want the Rams to take? I like Lynch better than Wentz but apparently, he's the #2 ranked QB prospect right now and probably won't be there when the Rams select.

Is Goff clearly #1? I've heard Cleveland will take him and Hue's got west coast/Cal ties so...

Not impressed with Lynch, like what I've seen from Wentz, particularly his release.
Goff will likely be gone so its not much of a consideration for me.
I actually like the kid Brandon Doughty from Western Kentucky but unless Mannion is gone, they wouldnt be taking a 5th round QB
I could live with Lynch moreso than Connor Cook who I cant stand

I feel like George Carlin. Are we really talking about Paxton, Carson and Brandon?

I have no idea who the best QB is in this draft. You never really know until you play them.

All I do know is that Snead needs to find one and quickly, cause we ain't going nowhere without a quality QB. And we don't have one now.

As far as I'm concerned, Snead should be spending 99.99% of his time finding a QB. Everything else is secondary.

I get tired of looking at all of these potential choices and finding guys who I think would be pretty good, just to have Foles, Keenum, etc. as the end result.

For example, I'm still convinced that Hundley from UCLA would have been the perfect QB for Fisher's style of offense. Mobile, strong arm, accurate enough, size...I'd put him in the same vein as McNair or Young in terms of type. Instead, they take Mannion. Who I didn't like as a prospect period, much less as a fit for the Rams. Foles is a less talented Kerry Collins and Mannion is a less talented Foles. It made me want to punch my tv.

You need to write a letter to Snead and tell him what you're seeing and your concerns.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/mock-draf ... iah/275602

Strengths:

Very tall, athletic body with ability to scan over the top (6' 7", 245 lbs).
Elite foot quickness for a tall quarterback. Can maneuver quickly out of a busy pocket and away from trouble, but desires to keep passing option alive. Sets up in the pocket quickly and generally keeps feet "throw ready". More functional scrambler than "tuck and run" quarterback. Sacked just 15 times over 477 drop backs. Able to win with his feet when he needs to. Has a quick release to overcome his slight wind­-up. Has enough arm to drive the ball into restricted windows. Has enough arm to attack downfield while on the move. Makes good decisions. Rarely takes the cheese when cornerbacks try and bait him. Displays qualities of a field leader and isn't easy to rattle. Yards per attempt have exploded over his last two years. Can gain chunk yards as zone-read quarterback and will appeal to boot­-action teams. Will be challenging to defend in the red area. Took better care of the football cutting turnovers down from 16 last season to just four this year. Completed 54.6 percent on intermediate throws (11­20) and 44.9 percent on deep balls (21-plus yards) including 19 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Weaknesses:

Needs to improve ball placement for catch­-and­-run throws. Inability to throw with desired accuracy on the move forced him to leave yards and plays on the field. (< Sounds familliar) Must learn to better anticipate routes and stay ahead in the rep. Doesn't quite have the quickness through progressions that he will need in the pros. Has to learn to move defenders around with his eyes to open throwing lanes. At times, crowds targets against the sideline. Needs to stop babying play-­action passes and cut them loose. Consistency of arm strength has been overstated. Inconsistent weight transfer in delivery forces him to muscle some throws. Perimeter throws lack velocity and will nose­dive on him. His ball comes out with wobble and isn’t always the most catchable. Touch throws over inside linebackers needs work.


He's bigger but how much better is this kid then say Mannion? Don't see very many top WR's in his mock.
