Maybe its not so bad. What if
they can talk Orten into playing
one more year? Hoyer has looked
ok when he’s had a running game.
Vick might be interesting.
Locker is intriguing.
Matt Flynn?w

2011 NFL DraftWith one year of eligibility remaining at Washington, Locker was considered to be a top prospect in the 2010 NFL Draft by many internet mock drafts, with some analysts ranking him in the top three available quarterbacks. On December 14, 2009, ESPN’s College Football Live reported that Locker would return for his senior season.
Schefter posted on his Twitter page that an anonymous NFL GM, in speaking with ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen, told Mortensen that Locker is “a bigger, taller, right-handed version of Steve Young.”[17]
Prior to Locker’s announcement declaring his intention to stay for his senior season, ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay had projected Locker as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.[18] But there was also some disagreement in certain circles with McShay’s assessment—it had been reported that Locker was advised by the NFL Collegiate Advisory Committee that he would not have received a “1st round grade”.[19]
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper, Jr. predicted before and after the 2010 NFL Draft that Locker would be the No. 1 overall pick in 2011.[20][21]
ESPN analyst John Clayton stated in October of Locker’s disappointing senior campaign that the right-hander may fall to the 2nd or 3rd round in the 2011 draft due to his inaccuracy and poor play.

All values from 2011 NFL Scouting Combine.[22][23][24]Locker was selected with the 8th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. On July 29, he signed a 4-year contract worth a reported $12 million.[25]
Tennessee Titans
2011 seasonLocker saw his first real playing time on November 20, against the Atlanta Falcons, replacing an injured Matt Hasselbeck. In a losing effort, Locker threw for 2 touchdowns and 140 yards.
Locker completed his rookie season with 4 passing touchdowns as well as 1 rushing touchdown. He acted as backup and occasional relief to Matt Hasselbeck.
2012 seasonAfter competing with Hasselbeck during the 2012 preseason, Locker was named the starter for the regular season on August 20, 2012.[26] His first start came on September 9 against the Patriots and was a rough affair as he completed 229 yards passing and one touchdown with one interception. His first win came on September 23 against the Lions as he threw for 373 yards and two scores in a 44-41 overtime Titans win. On September 30, Locker tore his non-throwing shoulder, and was replaced by Hasselbeck. Locker was later confirmed by Titans head coach Mike Munchak as the starter on November 9 against the Miami Dolphins.[27]
Locker finished 2012 with 177 completions, 2,176 yards, ten touchdowns, and eleven interceptions. He rushed 41 times for 291 yards and a touchdown.
2013 season
Jake Locker vs. Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013.The Titans started their season week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He went 11/20 passing and had 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in the 16-9 win.
The following week against the Houston Texans Jake Locker was trying to get the Titans started off 2-0. He completed 17/30 of his passes for 148 yards with 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, but the Titans ultimately fell short in the game losing 30-24 in overtime.
On September 22, 2013, Locker became the first Titans quarterback to beat the San Diego Chargers since the club’s 1992 season as the Houston Oilers; Locker threw a 34-yard strike to Justin Hunter with fifteen seconds to go, securing a 20-17 Titans win. Locker earlier in that game had rushed in a seven-yard score.
On September 29, 2013, in a 38-13 win over the New York Jets, Locker was hit by two Jets defenders and was carted off the field with what appeared to be a serious right leg injury. Initial news reports, from multiple sources, indicated that the injury was to his right hip. Locker, according to a report by the team posted on USA Today, would miss three weeks.
On October 19, the ESPN website reported Locker would start against the 49ers;[28] he completed 25 passes for 326 yards and two touchdowns with his first interception of the season in a 31-17 loss.
On November 3, Locker played against the Rams. He completed 13/22 of his passes for 185 yards. He had no touchdowns and 2 interceptions. He added on 3 carries for 10 yards and a touchdown rushing. Despite a poor passing performance, the Titans won 28-21.
During a November 10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Locker sustained a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, ending his season.[29]
2014 SeasonJake Locker started off the 2014 season under new head coach Ken Whisenhunt. He played in week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs and completed 66% of his passes for 266 yards 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He had a passer rating of 111.4. On October 22, 2014, Locker was benched along with Charlie Whitehurst in favor of rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger.[30]
January 3, 2015 at 11:23 am #15430InvaderRamModeratorlocker is intriguing but like ag says he’s inconsistent. and he’s coming off shoulder surgery.
i guess i just don’t see any long-term solution. or solution i like better than bradford. i see another shaun hill coming.
i wonder what trade possibilities there are. glennon was mentioned earlier. i want a younger prospect with some upside. again locker fits that category but he’s coming off major surgery.
January 3, 2015 at 11:28 am #15431AgamemnonParticipant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeDzn78MiYgI would rather take a look at these guys than draft a QB in this year’s draft.

January 3, 2015 at 11:32 am #15432InvaderRamModeratorother trade possibilities
robert griffin iii (ahahahahahahaha!!!!)
nick foles (also coming off an injury)
jay cutler (a bit on the older side i would think)
January 3, 2015 at 11:35 am #15434AgamemnonParticipantJanuary 3, 2015 at 11:49 am #15435PA RamParticipantThe list does nothing for me.
It leaves me cold.
The rookies leave me cold.
I mean–they have to grab someone–but honestly, is there any real upgrade over Hill and Davis who already know the system?
Who is that guy?
I just believe that success lies in fixing the offensive line and HOPING Bradford stays healthy–and if he doesn’t, the o-line is good enough to protect Davis or Hill and they run the ball better.
I don’t see great options.

January 3, 2015 at 12:11 pm #15437ZooeyModeratorThat list is so desperately bad that it has Frank Gore on it.
I don’t know what the deal is with Locker. The information Ag posted is a chronicle, not analysis.
Of the names on that list, though, Locker is the only one I think that has upside potential. I say that in absence of any knowledge of him beyond his early draft buzz. Maybe things just haven’t clicked for him yet, and still could. Maybe not.
But I don’t think you’re going to see any of those other players exceed anything they’ve already done.
And there’s the Tennessee connection. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Rams kicked the tires on Locker.
January 3, 2015 at 12:36 pm #15439InvaderRamModeratorRG3, the legend
foles, ???
Jeff George.trading for rgiii would have to be the most hilarious trade in the history of the nfl.
i think i’d do it just for the laughs.

January 3, 2015 at 1:17 pm #15442JackPMillerParticipantA player to me that is intriguing to me is Tyrod Taylor. I would not mind him as the backup to Bradford.
January 3, 2015 at 1:17 pm #15443wvParticipantI think yall
are being debby-downers.
I mean, what about Frank Gore?
He’s got, like, 40 inch hands.Seriously, if they can sign
a Stud OLineman, and draft a Stud Olineman
then it might not matter who is QB.
They can be the 2001 Ravens
or the 2002 Bucs.
I mean, most of Hill’s
screwups were when he was
under pressure. So, just
eliminate the pressure.w

January 3, 2015 at 1:45 pm #15445InvaderRamModeratorthat would require the rams d to be the 2001 ravens or the 2002 bucs.
garsh i hope bradford can stay healthy next year. i hope he can play next year.
January 3, 2015 at 3:08 pm #15448sdramParticipantIt’s pretty tough. I think they should kick the tires on Lindley – he’s young but I would say he has a chance at having some upside. I’m not sure if they can do that without committing to him to some degree in the form of backup money.
For me, Locker is intriguing but he has an injury riddled resume similar to Bradford’s.
I’ve seen enough of Ponder to know that his Joe Kapp impression isn’t going so well but he can throw the ball a few yards farther than Joe. Not making excuses but Joe is 76 now so his arm ain’t what it used to be.
January 3, 2015 at 8:17 pm #15473sdramParticipantUhhh, never mind on Lindley. His tires are already wobbling.
January 4, 2015 at 10:15 am #15487DakParticipantSome of those guys might be good as backups. As for Locker, seems like he’s an injury risk, as well, and the most expensive option among that group.
Kyle Orton is really probably the best backup among that group. He’d be a step up from Hill. But, he nor anyone else on that list is as good as Bradford.
January 4, 2015 at 10:40 am #15492znModeratorKyle Orton is really probably the best backup among that group.
Orton retired.

January 4, 2015 at 10:45 am #15495GreatRamNTheSkyParticipantJosh Johnson might be worth a look.
Other than that, none of those guys appeals to me.
