@AdamSchefter: Despite Rams QB Sam Bradford thinking his ACL was intact from initial testing, there is real concern that it is not and it could be torn.

Also interesting to hear Joe Theismann saying Cousins is better than RG3. I think Bradford is officially a bust

They gotta trade for a dude. Burn a high draft pick.

This is correct.

Unfortunately, I just can't see us moving from Alex Smith with no one behind him, regardless of whether or not we're rebuilding or attempting to make a playoff push.

Seems the most likely outcome is they get fisted by those Patriot Way bastards for Mallett or try and steal Cousins from the Skins.

After the way the Rams held the Redskins down and ****ed them in the ass on the RGIII trade?

Oof, I wouldn't want to imagine the asking price for Cousins.

No shit. My issue was the correlation of your posts. They make no ****ing sense at all, since you're talking about being happy when passed upon QBs fail and Bradford wasn't passed on.

Hah.

Yeah, I'd imagine it'd be pretty steep. They'd likely try and recoup some of their losses.

I was just suggesting that because I'd much rather see a Skins-Rams trade than those Patriot Way ****sticks get richer from stumbling ass backwards into Tom Brady.

WTF are you talking about?

I'm talking about Sanchez, Freeman, Clausen, and any and all of the 2013 QBs. The Chiefs could have drafted any of those guys, and now that they're failures, Chiefs fans get more giddy about not drafting them than they do whenever the Chiefs draft a player who doesn't suck.

Bradford's not in that category because nobody even ****ing wanted him on CP and we didn't have a shot at drafting him anyway.

St. Louis Rams have interest in Eagles' Mark Sanchez

With Sam Bradford out for the season with another torn ACL, the natural question for the St. Louis Rams is: Who will take his spot?

Shaun Hill is a quality backup for Bradford and figures to be the Rams' starter early in the regular season. He's certainly an upgrade from last year's backup Kellen Clemens, and he's been in the Rams' system since March. Then again, Hill is 34 years old and hasn't started an NFL game since 2010. He earned his reputation as a quality backup a long time ago, and his ability to excel over 16 games is a mystery.

One logical candidate for a trade is Philadelphia Eagles backup Mark Sanchez, whom offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer worked with in New York. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that the Rams have some interest in Sanchez, per a source informed of the situation. But the Eagles have been more than pleased with the former Jets quarterback this year and would have to be blown away to trade him.

The Rams are in a terrible spot. There is no magical quarterback solution out there that will save their season. (That's including Christian Ponder and anyone else you can come up with.) Is the "upgrade" from Shaun Hill to Mark Sanchez really worth giving up a halfway decent future draft pick? Is the difference between five and seven wins that big a deal in a brutal division?

Rams fans don't want to hear it, but the team is likely better off bottoming out and then finally drafting their next quarterback of the future near the top of the 2015 draft.

Agreed. But I think we're safe right there. Mallett has looked like shit this preseason. The Rams would be better off trading for Matt Cassel or Brian Hoyer if they wanted to go the former Tom Brady backup route.

God it'd be ****ing lovely if we had drafted Bridgewater. Alex would get his "home," we'd have his stupid contract demands out of our hair, and we'd finally have a young franchise QB to watch grow and develop.

This is probably what they'll do. They'll sign some formerly retired veteran, do the Curtis Painter thing, act like they tried, and draft another QB that Dorsey doesn't want.

Really wish the Chiefs were owned by someone else.

Of all the rookie QBs, who has looked best this preseason? It's arguable, but the top 3 are in Minnesota, Jacksonville and New England.

We will rally around Shaun Hill and play good football.
