Memphis. Paxton Lynch. 15. player. 51. <p>No matter how much Rams fans try to convince themselves otherwise, Nick Foles is not the answer at quarterback. While he’s a capable starter who worked well as a bridgegap last season, it’s time for <del>St. Louis</del> Los Angeles to find themselves a true franchise quarterback.</p> <p>That’s where Lynch comes in. While there will certainly be some skepticism surrounding this pick, the Rams simply can’t afford to continue ignoring the position.

Lynch is certainly a gamble, but he’s got the physical tools, athleticism and leadership to get the job done. It would be quite the transition from Memphis to LA, though.</p>. Quarterback
