Bradford down -- Mallett to STL?

TriplecHamp said:

Lets line all 3 up with what the Rams already have in Shaun Hill.

Sanchez: Has experience with Shotty and is having a very solid preseason, and is on a one year deal.
Cousins: Has starting experience with a bad preseason and 2 years left on his contract.
Mallet: Up and down preaseason with no experience in shotty's system, and 1 year left on his contract.

Shaun Hill: Already in house, has snaps and time under the system

IMO if the Rams are done with Bradford which seems to be a league wide consensus at this point and with the talent in next years QB class, they aren't likely to pick a QB up right now for the future. You can roll with Shaun Hill who will give you a decent shot to win some games and draft your QB in the next draft. You can call up the eagles and go after Sanchez who might cost the most after this preseason and he may be able to give you a better shot to win than Hill (lol). You can give up assets for Kirk Cousins and have him for 2 years which will give you time to evaluate him this year after he learns the offense and possibly go with him for the QB of the future or you can give Mallett this year and try to let him learn the offense like Cousins would have to but be faced with keeping him or drafting a QB for the next year. For the Rams its a player like Sanchez who would probably give you no greater chance to win than Shaun HIll or you can stick with what you have in Hill and see what he can give you while preparing for next year. Mallet hasn't proven anything and neither has Cousins. At least the Sanchize has proven he can be carried to a couple of conference championship games behind a talented defense.

And that's why Mallett's trade value is virtually nil. Conditional Day 3 pick at best.
That's going to be pretty tough when they go 7-9 and have the #13 pick. Unfortunately (for them) they're too talented on D to completely tank the season.

Are you talking about this year's preseason? Cousins has played quite well:

35/54, 370 YDS, 4TD, 1 INT

One of my biggest takeaways from Patriots-Redskins joint practices was surprise that Robert Griffin III didn’t look like the best quarterback on his own team. In fact, I thought Kirk Cousins was better than him, from the perspective of running the offense, fine-tuned mechanics and how decisively the ball came out of his hand. I wondered if I was alone, and then heard the same sentiment echoed by some others in the Patriots organization.

From what I've seen, Cousins is a pretty good player. Here's something that Mike Reiss wrote after Washington practiced against the Patriots a couple of weeks ago:

Umm, you do know Welkah tore his ACL without even being contacted?

I'd rather keep Mallett. He is more valuable as a QB familiar with the system than whatever he'd fetch in a trade.

Let's keep it real : we don't want Mallett to be traded for a high pick. The reason ? The only way he brings back a high pick is if he plays for Brady. No one wants that.

They are also saying that Mallett isn't the right fit for St. Louis and the west coast offense they run. Kirwin and Miller think Sanchez would be the better fit.

As much as we bag on him, he MIGHT do okay with a competent offense around him. He was crazy clutch(poor man's Eli Manning described him perfectly) his first two seasons before everything went to **** (and Sanchez was definitely apart of that not leaving him blameless).

I don't know what the Boston sports radio "pundits" are saying, but Kirwin and Miller are saying that St. Louis HAS to trade for a QB. They have less than $2 million in cap space and can't afford to sign a free agent after they are cut. They have to trade for QB on a cheap rookie deal because if Shaun Hill goes down, they have NOTHING.

Sanchez makes more sense, but I don't know if the Eagles would be willing to part with him this late in the offseason.

Sanchez would certainly be a better fit, BUT...don't the two halves of the message contradict each other? Sanchez isn't on a rookie deal, he's making $2.25 million this year.
