Stafford is balling. Haven't arguably his best season as a Rams

More likely he returns for 2026, with a raise of course.

With this crop of qbs coming out, I would be ok with that.

Maybe I change my opinion at season end, but for now, Stafford for 2026 sounds good to me.

Rumor was, they were gonna draft Dart but the Giants got in front of them on purpose....Stafford is doing good but the future still is a question mark and with 2 picks in the 1st I'm confident they go QB with one of them.

Which qb do you have in mind? The ones that will be avaliable when the rams pick, I am not all that interested in, but it's very early

They have 2 first rounders. Will never be in better position to grab a QB on a rookie deal. Im hoping that the kud from Oregon is there with their pick. Rocket arm. Need a rookie deal QB, not another 40 mil aging vet.

Being in better position n not reaching on a QB not playing to first round standards………

Right now I’m letting one fall to me in the second or third round. Hopefully that changes n a few warrant a first round pick by April. It’s been a disappointing QB class so far…….

Exactly. At 50 mil price tag for a starter, you need those 3-4 years of rookie contract, and remember, if hes taken in the first rd you have one more year than if drafted in rd 2.

The only reason I would not go QB in rd 1 is if they are 100% sure that Stetson can be the guy. Otherwise, they're missing an opportunity if they chose to get cute and hope they can address it a year later. Get him while you have the picks!!

For the record, i want Dante Moore.

Me either. I'd go OT or CB. Maaaybe LBer if we don't re-sign Landman. There's several possibilities they could go, but with the way Stafford has been playing this season, I wouldn't go QB. Id wait until 2027 and maybe target a free agent QB.

Rams have $90m in cap space right now for 2026 and can easily get to $100m with a cut or two like Parkinson……….

Agreed! Our team isn't likely to once more have an extra first-round choice to trade up, say into the Top Ten overall in the 2026 NFL draft, any time in the near future.

Of course, there does have be an available rookie QB prospect which the Rams organization considers to be worth a pick that high... :cool: :) :!:

RAM SEASON!!

Fact is the QB crop coming into the draft next year isn’t impressive. Most thought they would be but they have not been……..

Always BPA with me in the first round. Do not reach……

Do you have any qb in mind, that is worth trading two first rounders to trade into the top 10 to get?

I am having a hard time with this upcoming draft. None of the qbs seem worthy, but I am far from a expert. Im just a guy who college football knowledge is limited.

My gut feeling is they trade out of 2026 and run with Stetson as backup one year. I think they like Stetsons development.

Watched Arch a lot so far, looked awful so far and needs another year but he does have potential. Great arm strength.

They already guaranteed his 2026 salary when they redid 2025. He’s of course coming back. It has nothing to do with his performance. He could stink the rest of the year and his salary for 2026 and dead cap number will force him back.

Given how many games the Falcons are going to win the Rams won’t have the draft capital to get a stud QB anyway in the top 5

Oh just all you wait till the circus comes back to town…

We will be right back where we’ve been again next summer, where Stafford wants to renegotiate a different contract and threatening to hold out… Kelly Stafford will be on her podcast complaining about the RAMS, there will be clones and Stafford ‘back’ will be a ‘mess’ once again and blah blah blah…

Stafford getting a bit of MVP buzz so yeah for sure he will try and renegotiate.. We have one more year after this in the current window before the team gets torn apart through FA and retirements.

What do you mean they won't have the draft capital? They've got as much as any team in the draft, and more.

More likely he returns for 2026, with a raise of course.

With this crop of qbs coming out, I would be ok with that.

Maybe I change my opinion at season end, but for now, Stafford for 2026 sounds good to me.
Here's my two cents:

1. We should have already drafted our future QB. We are one Stafford injury away from our season going to shit.
2. Part of the reason we can't sign other players we need is because of the astronomical salary we are already paying Stafford.
3. We do have other positions of need, CB, RT, C, MLB, TE, RB all come to mind.

My opinion is that we need to start grooming someone to take the reigns whenever Stafford decides to pull the plug. I'd rather have someone learning under Stafford now than have to go through the growing pains Cam Ward is going through right now.

On a final note, QB's who get thrust into starting lineups year one rarely fare well. Give me an Aaron Rodgers type situation all day long. Just imagine how smart we would have looked if we had moved up one spot for Jaxson Dart this year. But who knew.

I like it. I'm with you on this one. The kid needs a break and McVay could be it. Seeing what he did for Mayfield makes you wonder what he could do for Wilson.

It sounds like Miami would rather start Ewers than Wilson so why don't we make the trade now. And maybe we can get Waddle too while we are at it. I'd give up a 2 and a 4 for the two of them.

They will have less draft capital than everyone drafting in the top 10. If you hold say #14 and #22, you aren’t getting into the top 10 much less a top 5 where a top QB will be taken.

McVay’s and Snead already said they were treating Stafford as a year to year contract. Said they knew they will have to redo again next year. That is the way Rams want it. (Has nothing to do with Kelly.)

We are in a very good position for the future. Our cap space needs to be spent on resigning a bunch of our guys. Two first round picks plus a 2nd need to used on either a QB, CB, C not sure about RT McClendon seems to be solid.

Lots n I’m a bit surprised X. Hopefully a few can become worthy of a high draft pick over the next few months.
