No, they saw them as their only option.

Who else would you have went with?  Oh right.  Brandon Allen.  That says it all right there.  The guy who hasn't played in a regular season game.  Yeah, let's trust him to be our backup should Blake Bortles go down.  Sounds like a plan! I doubt Brandon Allen is a starter on the Rams, and they have Jared Goff as their QB, and I'd take Bortles over Goff.

But to say Bortles and Henne were their only options is a down right lie.
There were options to draft or sign or trade for a multitude of other QBs.

Yes... I would have went into the season with BA the backup and Henne in the unemployment line.
I haven't said that one or the other would be season changing... only that Brandon Allen is cheaper, younger, and just as capable to lose games for us.
Except no one has seen him in live games, real regular season games. So based on practice Bortles is the guy that is supposed to win now and if not Henne is coming to save the day? And Allen was so bad that he couldn't even be given a shot. Despite the awful play shown by Bortles in both open practices and preseason.

Nice.

This franchise is bending over itself to try to make Bortles something he isn't... and worse.. trying to make Henne something he definitely isn't.
Without giving a second look to a guy that they truly don't know.

The Rams decided BA was good enough to warrant a spot on their roster... I'm sure other teams would have put in a claim also (even though everyone on here claimed he wouldn't get claimed lol)
But we're over here with Bortles and Henne like 'nah, we good'
