Hallway decorations weren’t the only thing up for discussion among Rams personnel on Friday. Coach Steve Spagnuolo and G.M. Billy Devaney were also talking about on-field matters, namely who would be their quarterback in 2010.
Spagnuolo said that there wasn’t any timetable in place for deciding who would get the starting job.
“That may direct itself depending on things that happen. And we know what we’re all talking about.”
We’re talking about potential trades and the draft. Devaney said that he felt that there were first-round talents at quarterback, although most observers agree that the team wouldn’t select one unless it traded out of the first overall draft slot. Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has established himself as the top player in this year’s draft.
As for trades, eyes in St. Louis have been on Michael Vick since Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported earlier this week that Rams assistants have reached out to their Eagles counterparts. Spagnuolo didn’t get into specifics, but did touch on Vick.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for Michael as a player,” Spagnuolo said. “Everything I’ve heard out of Philadelphia is kind of good. We haven’t gone down that road in our process yet. I think he’s a terrific player.”
Spagnuolo wouldn’t rule out returns for either Marc Bulger or Kyle Boller, but the key theme seemed to be that the Rams have a lot of work ahead of them when it comes to the quarterback spot this offseason.
