Quarterback Controversy

Few things are more enjoyable, at least to the casual football fan than a quarterback controversy.  It was the central selling point of the Texans run last year as Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett both vied for the job.  Now the Rams are in position to offer up a similar treat.  Though they’ve insisted that Case Keenum, ironically a former Houston quarterback, is their starter there is no reason to believe that.

For one, Nick Foles whom they traded for is still on the roster.  There is a chance he could compete with Keenum for the job but beyond that is the strong belief in the draft community that Los Angeles will go after a quarterback in the 1st round of the upcoming NFL draft.  That would throw another fascinating wrinkle into the competition.  For example, just imagine if California-native Jared Goff were thrown into that equation.  Yep, lots of people would watch.
