Hasslebeck to St.Louis?

[Rebelknight]

Why not ship Hasslebeck to St.Louis for a pick? Reunite him and Fisher...seems like a win/win...Chandler wasnt bad as a back up and Matt retires next year anyway...

[PrincetonTiger]

No

Matt can be an extra tutor/Coach for Andrew Chandler can not

Because we cant play a draft pick if Andrew gets hurt?

Lots of options out there. Some decent QBs will be cut. They could latch on to Curtis Painter....

[NewEra]

Pass. He is more valuable than a draft pick.

[oldunclemark]

who is Chandler...by the way..the guy on 'Friends'

[dudeski]

They would never give us anything

[TKnight24]

Nothing less than a 3rd

only way I'd be for this is if we got a first for it...

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

We trade it for a QB!

[Rebelknight]

I am thinking Matt might want to...kind of go out as a starter. There is 0 way of knowing if Matt would be better than Chandler..

[Loneranger]

No one is giving a first for him. fifth or sixth round is more like it.

[rock8591]

^^^Agreed.

 

While we're at it, we might as well offer a compensatory 7th rounder to the 49ers for Aldon Smith.

[CR91]

they'll probably go after sanchez

[csmopar]

I'm quite aware of that. Hints why I made that comment. Its called being a smart (insert three letter word here)

[Derakynn]

Then Andrew falls down the stairs and we go 0-16 with Harnish.

[chad72]

As long as the Rams don't fork out a 1st rounder for Jimmy Garropolo, I will be fine with them trading with any other team

[Andy]

I like the plan a lot; the only problem is that Harnish isn't ready for the backup job. I gave him hope when the preseason started, but now, it's obvious he's not ready.

 

So, for that reason, they'll need to keep Hasselbeck, but Rams will definitely need to find a new QB. They can't go all in on Shaun Hill.

If luck gets hurt, we aren't going anywhere anyway.

[TKnight24]

Then Andrew falls down the stairs and we go 0-16 with Harnish.

Maybe we can get a good offensive lineman then with the #1 overall pick.

Or trade out of it and stack picks and pick 2 Guards, 1 Safety, & 3 pass rushers

[oldunclemark]

If luck gets hurt, we aren't going anywhere anyway.

Way too simple..

.....if Luck is hurt for 2 games..Matt Hasselbeck is likely to lead us to victory in those two games at QB

That's why he's here...

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

If luck gets hurt, we aren't going anywhere anyway.

That's usually my line of thinking in regards to needing a "good" backup qb.

[oldunclemark]

We trade it for a QB!

That would be super slick...Gabe

We get a No.1 pick for a 30-something QB and then flip it like a cheap house...to Get Teddy Bridgewater.

Get it done..I'll be waiting here by the phone if you need me!!

[Smonroe]

They'd go for Orton or Sanchez first.  Besides, do you really want Chandler next in line?

[oldunclemark]

That's usually my line of thinking in regards to needing a "good" backup qb.

that's not logic....

here's the deal..what if we were 9-5 and Andrew gets a concussion and cant play 2 games..

..and you gave away the backup QB for a draft choice next season.

You'd feel stupid, right?

[James]

St. Louis should just roll with what they have. It's not worth it trading for mediocre QBs.

 

They could be in a position to get either Mariota or Winston next draft.

[akcolt]

You think Hasselbeck wants to be a starter in the league at his age or he is happy being paid a nice wage to be a player coach here in Indy?

 

I think he prefers it right where he is. Kirk Cousin's is the kid they should be going after he is NFL ready right now.

The odds of Hassellbeck winning with this team are slim.

[Derakynn]

Yeah, if I were them I would just take it. A high pick means a chance at a QB, and it's not like any move they made would be guaranteed to work anyways. Don't intentionally tank, just play it out and see what happens. Shaun Hill has played decent, they can probably get to 6 wins at least with the defense. 

[Track Guy]

The Rams will probably have offers they like more. Maybe they go for someone like Ryan Mallett.

[the cardinal]

Yep. Any mediocre QB they trade for is just going to get eaten alive in that division. If Bradford isn't the answer then they need to start looking at the draft.

[Stephen]

Ryan mallet sucks they'd be better with Vick Sanchez cousins

[Nobody]

Shaun Hill played great in Detroit in relief

[Gavin]

The odds of Hassellbeck winning with this team are slim.

With the exception of Shaun Alexander Hasselbeck led much less to a SB, I'd be concerned if he could not lead this team into the playoffs

[Bluefire4]

I don't think the Rams would take more than a 7th for a guy who may retire next year..

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

No because backups are only good if they've had a while to learn the system. I don't believe in having a top guy for backup but I still believe consistency in the system is key. Plenty of guys have proved that.

[PrincetonTiger]

If I remember correctly Matt likes Indy and has relocated his family to Central Indiana

[TKnight24]

Nooo they shouldn't

Rams have the best defensive line in football and a top 10 defense. They're a QB away from contending

[oldunclemark]

Its probably a good thing that you don't run any teams. Consistency doesn't matter of the back up cant play.

Curtis Painter proved that to us..You need a quality backup..not just somebody who's been in the room

... didn't Kap lead SF to the Super Bowl as a backup.

I think he did

[oldunclemark]

If I remember correctly Matt likes Indy and has relocated his family to Central Indiana

and he says he's thinking about playing beyond next season..We'd be lucky to have him
