Rams' QB Search Intensifies as Cousins, Garoppolo Options Vanish

On April 3rd, the Los Angeles Rams just lost out on Kurt Cousins as a backup quarterback

option when he signed with the Raiders earlier this week.

They've been hunting for an experience arm behind Matthew Stafford all off-season, and

with choices thinning out fast, it's crunch time to lock.

Someone in before training camp.

They had Jimmy Garoppolo lined up last year, but never pulled the trigger on resigning

him.

Now that Cousins is off the board, folks are saying Garoppolo holds some leverage, especially

his both sides, see their alternatives drying up quick.

Rams fans and insiders are buzzing about the risk, pointing out how Green Bay might swoop

in for Jimmy G since they need a vet behind Jordan Love, too.

After losing Malik Willis to Miami, the impact hits hard, without a solid number two.

Stafford's heavy workload could derail their Super Bowl plush.

Luckily, talks between Garoppolo and Arizona fell through before they grabbed Gardner

Minchew, which should have been the wake-up call for L.A. to move.

Instead, the front office seems to be mulling a draft pick as Stafford's eventual air

later this month.

Either way, with so few proven backups left on the market, the Rams better decide soon,

or risk starting the season exposed, keeping that veteran.

Insurance makes way more sense than betting everything on untested talent.
