My next obsession, getting a QB...

OK. We won. Los Angeles Rams are back, party time, etc...

Now, what are we gonna do about addressing the QB on this team?

We aren't going anywhere with the guys we've got now. Do we draft one at #15, to we trade up to get the one we want? And who does everyone like in this draft?

Looks like right now there are 3 QB expected to go in the first round, Goff, Wentz, and Lynch. Anyone have a preference?

I see that Greg Cosell like Goff, and Jeremiah like Wentz to go the Cowboys at #4. I have no idea at this point.

I think they will look at the F/A and trade market first and, pending their player evaluations, the draft/trade up if they think they identify a franchise potential QB out of Goff/Wentz/Paxton.

Excellent new obsession. I agree!

I don't know anything about those QBs as I don't watch college football - but, I look forward to learning more about them reading here.

Unlike last season, there isn't any QB prospects that have a legit chance to become a franchise QB. I'm not a fan of Goff or Cook. I wouldn't even want the Rams to draft them in the second round. I like Wentz, but I don't think he should be drafted at #15.

Whichever one of the three that we can get is okay by me. Let's just get our QB of the future on staff.

I feel the same but as much as I don't like Cook overall, I love his release and delivery. So quick and compact, it's really a thing of beauty. Too bad his decision-making, accuracy and personality don't match that level.

My prediction is we struggle with the same qbs in 2016. In 2017 Andrew Luck, tired with the a Colts bad GM, tests free agency and decides to take the money to be the franchise QB in LA.

Ross Tucker made an interesting point. He said if Kroenke is willing to spend $2B on a new stadium, then why doesn't he offer Saban $20M to make the Rams a winning team.

1972 - the end of the fun but weird Prothro lunacy and start of a new era. In "73 here comes 33 year old John Hadl to "manage" the even newer "Ground Chuck" offense. Sound familiar? Hadl has a great pro bowl season (stats of that era don't match up for statutory reasons), McCutcheon takes over games, the offensive line is great, the defense is very good and my beloved Los Ramos go 12-2 before brainfarting in the playoffs against Staubach.

We are what we are - for now: Get me a John Hadl to manage Ground-Fish, commit to upgrade the offensive line through free agency or trades and let this potentially Ram-great (not just regular old NFL great) defense finally get healthy and run like the wild dogs that they can be, and mash.

Find me a Hadl. [And his name isn't Foles]. Someone with enough savvy, confidence and balls to throw the football when it must be thrown. NO chickenshitz need apply.

"Hadl to Jackson...Touchdown!" John Hadl and Harold Jackson. Good times.
