It's possible I am suffering from smoke inhalation, but I think it's time that Rams nation started getting comfortable with the notion that Johnny Manziel is the Rams next QB.

And get ready for it ......

At #2.
 
Love the avatar pic. Tis my phones home screen and lock screen pic. You are stoned if you think the Rams are drafting JF @ 2 though. :sneaky:
 
I'm having a hard time seeing them pass on Robinson, Clowney, Mack, or Watkins for JFF myself - but there is that old adage -

If you think a guy is a franchise QB - and you don't think you have one - you take him.
 
@caplannfl: Popular theory with personnel execs. RT @LanceZierlein: Greg Cosell just said he believe Johnny Manziel will go #2 to the Rams.

But we have one, and IMO, Manziel is not a quality NFL starter.
 
Draft Manziel at 2, trade Sam to Cleveland, Cleveland draft Watkins and I'm going out and buying a Bradford jersey.

Can you imagine Sam throwing to Watkins, Gordon and Cameron with their O line (all be it minus Mack).

Gosh I hope you're right. I can't stomach the thought of a QB at #2.

I think that Norv Turner would like Sam Bradford. Still think they should have hired him this offseason, IMO.

There are people in the league that believe there will be an alien spaceship arriving in NYC for the draft carrying the next NFL commissioner

IMO, there's a snowballs chance in hell that the Rams take Manziel at #2 overall. But, at #13, he might be the best option for the team.

I really like Bradford. But, his contract is ridiculous and Manziel looks to be a far better fit for a team that plans to run the ball and play a strong defense like the Seahawks and 49ers. He fits, the Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick type QBs in the division who gives their teams 500 or so yards rushing, makes improvisional plays to keep drives alive, and throws the fewest passes of all of the NFL starters.

And 5 of Jeff Fisher's only 6 double digit winning teams had QBs that can make plays with their feet (McNair & Young).

That would be pretty damn sweet also. Sam throwing to Patterson working off a play action game with Peterson as his RB with Kalil being a Pro Bowl LT.

Thinking about it I don't see any scenario under which Sam doesn't succeed.

And Norv Turner as the offensive coordinator.

If that's the plan, then bravo Fisher/Snead, though Bortles is probably a better fit with the head coach.

The only way I think I could get behind this is if they took Evans first and got JM at 13.
 
How about Sam to Houston. Texans agree not to draft Jonny Football, take Clowney at 1.

Sam throwing to Johnson, Nuk Hopkins, with Foster as RB and a Pro Bowl LT, in that weak division.

Sorry I'm having too much fun imagining Sam surrounded by Players on O.
