If Stafford ends up on IR prior to the season, I expect the Rams to go with Garoppolo > Bennett. I don't think they're going to fuck around with draft capital for a season where not only Stafford's status but also Jackson's status is up in the air. Bottom line is you are unlikely to win shit when you don't have QB or LT and none of the QBs we could get prior to the deadline are much better, if at all, than Jimmy. Which is why I was thinking someone might try to shake him loose from us, well, prior to this back issue taking more shape with Stafford.
Also and again the Manning family are known screeners of potential teams for their QBs. I agree that Manning is very unlikely to come out, also that he has a ton to prove in college as it stands right now. And even if he were to surprise and come out the chances of the Rams drafting that high, when we saw McVay win 5 games in the SB hangover season with zero OL, is almost astronomically small. So I don't understand this continued and massive Manning boner the board has. I mean let me know if either we bomb in an epic manner or Atlanta does (which would be much more likely). Until then this shit's like talking about winning powerball.
