Quote:Didn't you suggest trading a 3rd for Sean Mannion?

 

 

I really don't consider a 3rd rounder that much of a risk. It's not like I would start the bidding off at a 3rd round pick anyway. I'd probably start with a 5th and if I had to, I'd go as high as a 3rd. He wouldn't even be my top target. Savage would, but that may not be an option now. If you watch the preseason, Mannion is by far the best QB on the Rams roster. I could see him coming in and giving us a chance to get to a .500 record or slightly better, until we are finally able to draft a true franchise QB in 2018. Then, he could move to #2 and become a much more reliable backup QB than Henne ever was. I was merely suggesting him as a band-aid in what I would turn into a run first offense with a re-vamped O-Line and a feature back. Nothing more. It's certainly not like I was suggesting him as a QB of the future. I'm sorry if people read it that way. I just see him as a better short term option than what I see in this free agent class and this coming draft.
