no more tank?

They should have done this a week earlier. They could have beaten Green Bay with a competent quarterback.

Baker worked out but i gotta say i'm not too excited. And of course there's the whole Goff/Wentz thing...

C Wentz.. "our newest" tank commander.. Welcome Aboard!

So are the Rams doing this because they haven't given up on the season, Stafford will play and they want/need a competent backup or is this more of a Baker Mayfield situation where it's a lost season, Stafford gets shut down and the Rams give us something somewhat ridiculous to be entertained by?

Or maybe neither...

Could be the back up of the future and real insurance if/when Stafford goes down again. The answer will be revealed Seattle week. If Staff is a no go, it might be the Baker scenario.

This has got to be one of the dumbest signings I could think of. Why sign this guy to win you games so your good enough not to make the playoffs. And good enough to fuck up your draft position? Makes absolutely no sense.

So you sign this guy? Why not play Stafford? Or if Stafford can’t play play Rypien. Your trying to have good draft position. Yeah those meaningless wins are really going to mean alot when Caleb Williams is lighting us up for the Cardinals or Marvin Harrison Jr. is catching balls over our DBs.

When was there ever a tank? Except in the minds of certain USC fans.

That's not even a thing anymore. Goff won that one going away. Wentz is a footnote, an afterthought (though his talent is still far superior to Brett Rypien).

Because the Rams are in the business of winning. Rypien is NOT an NFL QB. Wentz is. And if he has to play, knows how to win and has the skills to do so. Whether you like it or not, the Rams aren’t thinking about the draft right now. They are thinking about winning and teaching how to win and learning the feeling of a winning culture to the all the young guys.

The Rams are not looking to draft one of the top QBs. And if that changes, they will trade up to do so - as they would probably have to anyway even if they “tank”. Bc the other shit teams aren’t going to win more than the Rams regardless of our current starting QB.

McVay/Snead are always thinking to win.

It's not in McVay's DNA to fold.

I like this move, because it shows the Vets and younger kids,

that this team has no quit in them.

Moves like this will show the younger players,

that the RAMs organization does everything they can to win.

Second, it gives Wentz a second chance,

to learn behind Stafford and McVay's system.

McVay got Baker Mayfield another chance to be a starter,

that's because from learning from McVay's system.
