    Jets like Fitzpatrick, they're keeping him coming from a winning season. The L.A Rams want RG3, or Peyton Manning if he is available, yes they're dumb but they want to fill their seats. The Bills and 49ers are keeping their QB'S and will draft something else. The Eagles and Browns are the only teams looking to draft a QB in the draft. Let's hope and let's root for Carson Wentz and Paxton Lynch to beat out Jared Goff, so he can fall at 22.

    True, he has done all of that but he's just barely making it and that's because he's relying on mediocre QB's. This team has never been considered as good. Just having a good season here or there.

    Speculation. Speculation. Speculation. There's almost no way all those end up being true. I can see the Jets wanting to stick with Fitz but that's no guarantee. Plus there's no way the Rams pass on Goff or even Wentz for RG3. No one really knows what the 49ers are doing. You also have teams possibly looking at drafting their backups.

    LOL that the Rams need a big name experiment at QB to fill seats.

    There are 20 million people who live in the area. The majority of this countries entertainers, along with their doctors, lawyers, and agents also live in the area.

    They are going to be just fine when it comes to selling tickets.

    According to ESPN and radio 610, the Rams are willing to go after Peyton Manning if he is released from Denver and wants to keep playing. And it makes sense, since they are moving to L.A a BIG market city. They are also interested in RG3, they don't want a rookie QB they want an experienced guy.

    Why would teams draft a QB in the first round and use them as back ups? There is a second round for that. I think Wentz, Lynch and cook will impress at the combine and beat out Goff. And I hope so. We'll end up with either Cook or maybe Goff. Wentz and Lynch are more athletic than Goff. Teams love QB'S with great athletic body and great arm.

    Maybe with all that going for them they can actually keep a team.

    Same people feeding you about the Rams also fed us the Cowbiys and Saints possibly getting a QB in the 1st. Rodgers was picked in the first as a backup/future-starter. You can hope. Nothing wrong with that. It is possible but it is unlikely. If the QBs drop it will be because other players at other positions absolutely kill their combine and pro-days.

    And LOL to Peyton playing for the Rams. Why in the world would be choose to end his career there??? Nothing about him says Hollywood and nothing about the Rams says " a QB away".

    I agree that Peyton Manning won't go to the Rams. He'll likely retire. But Rams are willing to pay him a lot if he's available. It doesn't mean Peyton will choose to go there but Rams do want him. That means Rams aren't interested in drafting a QB in the draft. And I agree on the hope thing, yeah we can all hope teams pass on Goff. But I do doubt it.

    Rams value skyrocketed after the move. Same will happen for the Chargers.

    The issues they had before we're back when NFL owners needed new stadiums to make money. That was always the issue in LA. Fan support won't be a problem.

    That's like saying Houston and Cleveland couldn't keep a NFL team. The Rams and raiders moved originally for the same reason the oilers, Browns, Colts, cardinals moved. No stadium deal.

    Connor Cook or Dak Prescott in the 2nd round? Fine with me.

    Cook is garbage. No problem with Prescott.
