Sounds like "getting things sorted" out means 'until we can find a team to take him' . Nicks done here.

Which is a shame. The Rams would be in a lot better shape if they had Foles(healthy) as the backup and Mannion as the developmental guy. Then, Mannion could be the backup in '17 and we'd have a great, young, one-two punch at QB for a change.

As much as I'm not a Foles fan as a full time starter, I think getting just the average production out of him would be far better than Keenum. Keenum's moxy and heart don't make up for his college arm. The playbook and field shrink when he comes into the game and it'll hurt the team if Goff goes down. Plus, if it was Foles to come in for a game or few and produce a little, we might actually get something for him at some point.

I was big on Foles until he disappeared but I still agree that he would make a good bench player with his gun. Not sure he can read a D any better than Keenum and CK seems to have good chemistry with the players. I guess we'll see what shakes out but my guess is they will try to save the dough by jettisoning Foles and put Mannion in that developmental role behind CK sooner than later,, if not by game one.

I reserve the right to change that last comment until after I actually see JG play. lol

I remember last year's training camp reports stating that Foles had great chemistry with his teammates. His teammates like the way he came in and took control of the huddle, etc. One got the impression Foles was a better leader than Sammy. From the outside, it is impossible to know what really goes on inside the RAMS or any other team for that matter.

A QB sitting out is a positive?
