3. Case Keenum Will Be The Rams Starting Quarterback

"“When the season was over I made the statement that Case is our starter and Nick and Sean are going to have a chance to come in and compete. So, that’s where we are. And with respect to the quarterback position, there’s probably a good chance there’s going to be another one at camp–if not two. And I can’t say whether that comes through the draft, through free agency, or through trade. But that’s a position we look to upgrade. Now, looking at Case’s body of work, I thought Case finished strong. Case has won some games. He’s an overtime blocked kick at San Francisco and an incomplete pass away from maybe winning all five. So Case is excited to come in and hang on to that job. But there’s going to be competition.”"

Once again, Fisher was adamant about Case Keenum being the starter. Just another reminder, it was this time last year that Fisher said that Bradford would be the starter and that was just  before he traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles.

This doesn’t rule out the Rams drafting a quarterback early or even signing a big name free agent, in fact, Fisher says that will probably be the case. This is definitely a position to keep an eye on though.
