I'm curious as to who RFU'ers think would end up being the better NFL QB. I think both will end up starting somewhere in time. I'm guessing Mannion ends up the better QB. Just throwing this out there because its slow for rams news.

Interesting question. Could be an interesting discussion. Personally? I have no idea. Just in the abstract I would rather have both then just one of them though. Not that that answers your question.

In a vacuum? Cook's probably "better" considering I think Mannion is just so "slow". But, I don't think it's such a huge difference that I'd want the Rams to spend a draft pick on Cook, presumably wasting the 3rd they used on Mannion.

Unless they draft their QBOTF in the first, I don't really want the Rams to use any picks on a QB this year.

Exactly, what's the point in drafting another backup type QB. Either get one of the here in the first or just keep us without a good QB.

Then again, there are teams that subscribe to taking a QB every year until you find the right guy. You have to look at the QB room as a whole, consider each contract, potential, and current abilities, then decide if a draft pick might be a better fit in the long term. If you had Mannion, Cook, and Foles or Keenum, at some point the top 2 guys will elevate from that group to starter and back up. You jettison the other two and hit the draft again to get your 3rd guy to develop. Or, if the top two includes only one of Mannion/Cook, you keep the other as your third to develop.

Even if one is named as the starter they're all destined to be backups or out of the league.

We don't "know" that but I can see why you would feel that way.

Mannion is not a patch on Connor Cooks ass.

I don't know how they'll have the QB's rated. But if they draft one in the first two rounds it tells me they blew the Mannion pick. And 3rd rounders are not like 6th and 7th rounders. Not as talented as 1st rounders but you can find potential starters.

I think they need to crap or get off the pot. Either give Mannion a serious look or admit you blew that one and move on. If Foles is staying there's no way they're carrying 4 quarterbacks. The 3rd is either a draft pick or Mannion.

I don't think it has to be either or. They will most carry 3 qbs, Foles is the most likely goner unless he does a complete 180, and I don't think taking a guy this year means they blew the Mannion pick...they're just doing their thing where they are trying to turn a weakness into a strength. If both the new qb and Mannion work out, that's a bonus situation. In terms of blowing a pick on a qb in round 3, one look at it I did showed that only 26% or so of 2nd and 3rd round qbs work out anyway. QB is qb, you want to keep adding them until you like what you have.
