Rams Taking Things ‘Year at a Time’ Regarding QB Position According to HC Sean McVay.

Will Stafford be the QB for Los Angeles after this year?

Despite reaching the postseason last season and winning a Super Bowl in 2022, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford may not play much longer. There is no guarantee how many more years the veteran will suit up, leaving the Rams to have to think about their long-term plan.

Head coach Sean McVay confirmed that the team would love to have Stafford as long as he wants to play but that the team would “take things one year at a time” regarding the quarterback position. He appeared on SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio with Adam Schein.

“We were taking it a year at a time, but as long as he wants to play, we’re fortunate to have him as our quarterback.”

Stafford helped the Rams get over the hump and win the title in 2022, earning the right to dictate how he goes. He is still a very impactful player, showing that he can still perform at a high-level last season.

He threw for 3,965 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, leading Los Angeles to a surprise playoff appearance. Now, entering into this coming season, Stafford will need to show that he can do it again.

The assumption is that he will still perform well but Los Angeles is smart to consider all other options. They don’t want to be left without a quality starter when he does hang things up. While Stafford hasn’t said how much longer he wants to play, the Rams are just looking at their options.

The Falcons made a head-scratching decision in the first round by selecting quarterback Michael Penix Jr., but they started to make up for that decision with Trice in the third round. The Washington alum was highly productive over the last two seasons, totaling 16 sacks, and has the ability to make an immediate impact.

Baltimore’s history drafting defensive players speaks for itself, and they might have found a steal in Tampa. The Iowa State corner has ample size to play on the outside, and has a chance to provide solid depth in his rookie season.

Carolina needed receiver help for Bryce Young, and added it with first-round pick Xavier Legette and Sanders. Sanders was a strong receiving tight end in college at Texas, and while tight end draftees can be a crapshoot, he has the skillset to help the Panthers immediately.

It was assumed for more than a year that Williams would be the first overall draft choice in 2024, and the Bears didn’t keep us guessing. Some fans were upset the team moved on from Justin Fields, but it was clearly the right decision to reset the rookie contract clock at the position. More importantly, Williams was the best quarterback available, with a great track record and the dynamic ability to do anything on the field.

Iowa has become a factory for NFL tight ends, and All could be the next one to breakout. His draft value dropped due to injury, but he showed big upside when he was on the field. This is a strong lottery ticket for the Bengals at a position of need.
