I don’t think there was a real choice in regarding benching Davis. I think he hit a wall mentally and emotionally and was not going to get any better. Standing and watching for a while is probably the best thing for him.

Options

1. Bring Bradford back in 2015 but he needs to adjust his salary
2. Sign a veteran QB who can be a starter or trade for one. Kirk Cousins?
3. Draft a QB, Mariotta, Hundley?

Kirk Cousins did not impress me when I saw him with the Skins this season. Maybe trade for Matt Schaub?
Bradford probably is the most realistic option since he is under contract and apparently they (Rams) have a desperate need for a QB. Bradford is very fortunate that Davis has blown up like he has. Can Bradford stay healthy? He’s missed half his games with the Rams. Five years in and Bradford is still a huge question mark.

Offensive line has to be improved. Rams cannot afford to go into next season without the offensive line being addressed.
Rams have skilled players. What they need is improved quarterback play. AZ game was totally winnable and Davis’s melt down cost them. This organization has to address the QB position and they cannot afford to be wrong again.

Austin Davis will have a near 400 yard passing day on Sunday and throw for 4 scores. Rams will win easily.

Bucs have had an awful year. Should Lovie be on the hot seat?

Run the ball effectively with the occasional strategic pass play here and there. Ball control and no turnovers or stupid penalties is the key.

I give Davis more credit than most of you Bradford Desciples. I think the kid will have huge game on Sunday.
Question will be if the Rams get a good lead can the defense hold it.

Nothing wrong with Austin Davis. He’s a young QB and every player has down games. Hell, if the defense had been any fucking good early in the season they’d be 5-2 or 5-3 right now at least.

The only mistakes that Davis made yesterday in the 49er game was he locked onto the receiver with his eyes on the first INT and then on the 2nd INT the ball was under thrown because he didn’t set his feet and then throw. Just remember this, AD is the first Rams QB to win in San Francisco since 2007 and he was perfect with no INTS versus the Hawks two weeks ago who have a better defense than the 49ers.

I think your critique of Davis is pure bullshit.

This is his first year as a starter and he made a couple bad plays today on the two interceptions but neither one of them cost us big.

As many bad games as Bradford has had, I allow Davis a few as well. He’s still been far better than anything we’ve seen from Pussy Bradford since 2010.

Kaeperdick crushed 8 times!

Farty-Whiners going down in Farty-Whiner land.

Davis passes for 375 and 4 scores.

I think before we fire Fisher we consider that the Rams have been a piece of crap team long before Fisher became the head coach. He has had a tough job. Not only rebuild a crap team but change the culture of the team and organization from losers to winners. This does not happen in the time frame of anyone’s master plan. Sometimes it comes quickly and sometimes it takes a bit more time.

I think constantly firing coaches who cannot deliver instant coffee results is just being stupid.

I think we need to stick with Fisher.

What upset me most is I thought the defense quit in the middle of the 3rd quarter. The tackling was a joke and there was no excuse for it. I did not see any desire to tackle anyone on the part of the linebackers or secondary.

Frankly guys, Fish is the coach until they have settled in LA. Just the way it is. The focus is going to be on the move starting in February. The coaches will remain in place for at least a season past the move.
