I'd have no problem if a top-ten QB pick turned out to be Carr. Plus, 2017's QB class doesn't look much better... every QB available has warts. If our best option is spending a top-5 pick on Jared Goff, then he's worth a top-5 pick, IMO. Mostly because I don't see a lot of worthwhile alternatives now or in the relatively near future.

That is the problem I'm having with finding the answer for the rams QB situation, I don't see the answer anywhere.

Anyone resonating with you at the moment? Anyone even worth a short-term flier? I know there's not a lot to choose from...

Peyton has nothing left. He has to retire...unless he's cool with being the backup QB mentor...and I don't see that happening.

I don't see it happening either, but the guy is a football lifer so you never know. I would love to have him as OC under Gase.

I gotta disagree, and maybe im wrong, but I just don't see any of these guys as franchise changers. None of these guys are as good or as much upside as Winston or Mariota. They look like average guys at best to me, the rams need better than average they need a franchise QB.

Winston and Mariota went #1 and #2 overall. If there was a guy that good, we wouldn't get him. So the point is moot.

But there are at least 3 legitimate first round QB prospects.

Just because they would a be a first rounder in a weak class doesn't necessarily make them good. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not hopeful that the rams can get a guy to turn this franchise around.

We have nothing lose by letting Mannion play QB the rest of the way , just call roll outs and short passes over the middle, occasional long pass

I've gone for Mannion as our starter for next year - I think he has the tools and I have confidence in his ability and potential,let him ride a few games to the end of the season to see what he has now, and build around him in next year's draft - LT / WR? in 1 and 2? We could draft Jack Conklin in 1 and move GRob inside - this should bolster our o-line nicely and I think we can probably pick up WR Tyler Boyd early in the second and potentially TE Hunter Henry later on in the second, this would totally change our offence (for the better) IMO

BUT... it all depends on our HC, whoever they'll be ;)

if you dont have a franchise QB you've got to draft one if at all you can.

Have we got one in Mannion? Who knows. He needs to get a shot before we can see I guess but that shouldn't stop us drafting a top talent if we can make it happen. Jameis Winston is turning the Bucs around because hes a superstar talent at the position. We need that.

I wasn't one, but I could see logic behind the vote, especially considering they may well have come before this last game - if Foles had come in and lit it up this past Sunday, showing that he could potentially be "the guy" for the next two years, that would be the best possible outcome. I can see hoping that someone on our roster shows that he's a top-half NFL QB as the ideal solution. And I can totally get behind @tahoe pulling for Mannion to show he's the real deal for the same reason (although I still think he needs at least this full season of tutelage and practicing with the scout team against NFL players to get ready to throw regularly into live games).

I'd be all for bringing him to this staff. His experience and knowledge of the passing game alone would make him a significant addition. I don't know if he plans on going into coaching, but the dude has future OC at the very least written all over him; he needs to cut his teeth as a QB coach first of course but it won't take him long to get hired as an OC if he wants it.
