St. Louis Rams roster: Who Will Be, The Number Two QB

ST. LOUIS, MO - AUGUST 13: Thaddeus Lewis #12 of the St. Louis Rams looks to pass against the Indianapolis Colts during the NFL preseason game at Edward Jones Dome on August 13, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri. The Rams defeated the Colts 33-10. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

 Controversy has reared its ugly head in the quiet, two cars in every pot, two chickens in every garage Rockwell-esk town of Ramville, U.S.A. Quite possibly, there could be a pitched battle running street to street in this once peaceful hamlet. Brother against brother, kielbasa against kielbasa, foam finger against foam finger... This could get nasty! The cause of this civil unrest lay with two individuals, each bent on being crowned vice-quarterback... Er, ah... OK, let's start again?

Montana and Young. Farve and Rodgers. Van Brocklin and Waterfield... Feeley and Lewis? The first three name groups were famous (or infamous, depending on your view) quarterback controversies. The last group, Feeley and Lewis? Not so much. But let's give it a try anyway...

Star-divide

 The good news is that it really shouldn't last past this Saturday when NFL rosters experience another mass blood letting to get rosters down to 53 player for the regular season. The bad news is that any quarterback controversy, even one that features characters that sound like a comedy team from the burlesque era, isn't all that much fun to be around. Just ask the Denver Broncos. They are having a quarterback controversy over a fourth string quarterback because every fan in the Denver area bought his jersey when he was drafted...

Our little quarterback tet-a-tet is about who will back up Sam Bradford as the number two, the second string, the "in case of emergency break glass" quarterback who'll be responsible for holding the keys to the proverbial kingdom of the Ram offense... and a clipboard. So let's take a closer look at these willing breakers of the peace.

A.J. Feeley was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2001 with their fifth round pick. The Oregon University product was the back up to Joey Harrington his senior year. This is obviously where he got his first taste of anarchy. Traded to the Miami Dolphin in 2004, the San Diego Chargers in 2005, (where he was released) resigned with the Eagle in 2006 through 2008, then signed with the Carolina Panthers in 2009. The highlight of his football career came when he filled in for an injured Donovan McNabb against the then undefeated New England Patriots. He threw for 345 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. In a moment of prescience, he no doubt thought he'd spend a great deal of his life in the colder climbs of the U.S., so he married a wonderful young lady by the name of Heather Mitts. His 11 year career statistics, according to NFL.com, currently stand at: 4070 yards passing on 665 attempts, 27 touchdowns, 29 interceptions and a QB rating of 69.6.

Not the stuff of rebellion you say? You may recall that Hitler was a bad artist who played the glockenspiel and maracas at kids birthday parties...

Next up on the inner-peace killer parade we have Thaddeus Lewis. An undrafted free agent out of Duke University in 2010, this guy has Apocalypse written all over him. He played for a team called the Blue Devils, a fashion challenged group of hellions bent on world domination. In his final season, he led his team to a 5-7 record. Duke winning FIVE football games? He obviously sold his soul to the devil and didn't make a good deal. Thad buddy! You should have asked for undefeated, Miami did and look where that got them...

What it comes down to, in this mini quarterback controversy, is who is best prepared, or skilled enough, to lead the Rams should Sam Bradford be incapable of taking the field. Here we have diverging points of consideration. Feeley has a great deal of time in the NFL under his belt. The quality nature of that time is left to the eye of the beholder. More important is his time with the Rams, and on whole that time has created value in that he's been able to apply his experience to learning the Ram offense. He's seen a few tough situations on the field in the last 11 years and come away with at least fair marks. Let no one mistake Feeley for anything other than a journeyman quarterback. But that, in and of itself, puts him in a higher standing than the player who could be challenging his place as the second string quarterback for the St. Louis Rams. So more experienced, not necessarily better is the key observation here.

 Thaddeus Lewis did in fact have a stellar college career, passing for just over 10,000 yards during his time at Duke. When he came to the Rams in 2010, he worked hard and made the team. That is where all ability to statically validate his capability to run an NFL offense ends. Or does it? I have been watching Mr. Lewis, and Mr. Feeley too, during this preseason. If I were to base my choice on their individual performances so far this year, Lewis would win hands down. The why of it is that I think Feeley is playing to not lose a job, while Lewis is actually playing the game of football. After a play when Feeley is on the field, I get the feeling all he thinks is: Next... When Lewis is on the field, it's more like he's battling to prove he can win that moment in time, that situation. He is truly on the field for a game he loves. He has an excellent skill set and athleticism galore. So better player , not experienced is the key observation here.

Where do you stand on Ram Quarterback Controversy 2011? Weigh all the factors and let me know how you arrive at your decision. Make yourself a head coach weighing advantages and disadvantages. Just remember, if you chose wrongly, the cost could be high. We're talking foam finger wagging in your face high...

I'd go Thad

But Feeley has the game experience. I’d do Feely for 2-3 Games. I’d do Thad for 6-8 games

The name's Rams, St. Louis Rams.

I agree to some extent

I think that if we lost Sam at any point Feeley would step in, but I think if we got to a point where we looked even vaguely unlikely to make the playoffs.

You never know, a developmental QB who turns out to be a potential starter is worth a heck of a lot in draft picks – look at Kolb, Schaub etc. Or, look at Feeley – he went to the Dolphins for a second round pick based on not a lot.

Defiantly not old enough to have seen norm play…but old enough to appreciate what he did in his time while playing. I was only like 2 when he decided to take the long dirt nap…good read though Doug! I said a.j. last year cause of the veteran experience Sam needed to ease himself into the NFL swing of things….but now I’m gonna say thad cause the guy plays his ass off! And that’s the kind of guy is feel more comfortable with should something happen to Sam.

by douchiedude on Sep 3, 2011 1:42 AM CDT up reply actions  

Maybe this is to over the top, but it looks to me like...

Feeley cant read the defense and just throws the ball to his first guy the majority of the time…if that guy is open, great if not its an interception. I dont feel like he can make any throw except for that stick it in there flat trajectory throw.

Thad has better pocket presence and can feel the rush and slide steps and all of that stuff to buy time. He has good mobility and possesses a natural ability to know exactly when to scramble to throw and when to tuck the ball and run for the first. He makes all the throws and the balls are on the money…even when he throws on the run. He goes through his progression and makes smarter decisions with the football than Feeley does. Lastly Thad plays with the same guys feeley does and yet Thad gets those guys up to play. He gets more out of them and is able to generate scoring drives where feeley might get 1 or 2 first downs and then stalls at mid field.

I think it would be an incredibly smart move to give this guy the 2nd string, offload feeley and find something else for the 3rd spot. The Rams could do alot with an extra 2.2million of cap money.

Lastly, I think Thad had very promising potential to be a starting quarterback someday. He looked good last year in preseason, but you can tell his improvement this year is huge. Feeley’s performance looks exactly the same and I think he has peaked as a player. I think you want Thad in the 2nd spot so that he can display his ability in the even that Sam goes down ( good god, that is so hard to write LOL! God forbid) Thad can get a couple of real games under his belt. With good QBs being so hard to find, Thad is a high draft pick trade goldmine IMO.

Thad could be our Kevin Kolb...

Meaning that if he can come up, show that he’s got a buttload of potential, we will eventually be able to move him for a 3-4th round draft pick. Until then, he’s just exciting insurance. Let’s be honest, if Sam is down, we’re effed. But I feel like with Thad, we at least have a shot at making plays.

3rd-4th?

If he shows much of anything, we could get a load more than that for him. Kolb’s career is basically a 1:1 TD to INT ratio, and he went for a borderline Pro Bowl defender and a 2nd round pick. Schaub, IIRC, threw about 100 or so passes before getting traded for two 2nd round picks.

I think if we had the situation where Sam went down early, we wouldn’t have much option other than putting Thad in to see what we have – the upside is too high IMO.

I agree with this almost completely

I’ve been saying for months Thad is the QB2. While I appreciate Doug’s article, I personally don’t see the contoversy, that’s how much I would value Thad over Feeley. His imrovement has been huge, but may stall out if they don’t get him maningful reps in practice, and those generally don’t come as a QB3.

Some guys were knocking his arm strength compared to Feely earlier in the year but I thought he had a serious gun in the games I watched him play in this preseason.

by CoachConnors on Sep 2, 2011 2:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Tough decision

I dont think there really is a #2 QB controversy, the FO will go with experience. I really like Lewis, he showed me last year he had skill and this year hes really proved it. The guy plays with heart and makes things happen, just think what he could do with the 1st stringers around him. Because of Feeleys contract and ok play i would gamble and take Lewis hands down :)

by OldRam61 on Sep 2, 2011 9:35 AM CDT reply actions  

I say Feely could be a surprise cut.

They need cap space and Thady just proved he could do the back-up job.

by Da Rams! on Sep 2, 2011 12:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yes, this is the main point

All things being equal, Lewis saves us cap space on top of it.

by Fullerton Rams Fan on Sep 2, 2011 11:40 PM CDT up reply actions  

I have to wonder why exactly would they have Lewis then? Why not have 2 vets, like a Hasselback and a Collins for example?

I think the answer is you want to develop him. And then if that is the case, you have to go ahead and actually invest the time and resources to get him where you want him to be.

There’s actually a big difference between the reps a QB2 and QB3 get in practice. QB2 gets way, way more (and better) expereince running the team, and that’s what he needs to develop.

by CoachConnors on Sep 2, 2011 2:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

Taking into account where we'd be without Sam.

If I was in a position to choose, I would definitely select Thad for the #2 spot to definitely be Sam’s backup.

After watching some of his sweet floater passes through traffic and atheltic roll outs of what looked like sure-fire sacks, I don’t think there is too much question as to who would have more potential upside if “the thing that shall not be named” were to ever occur.

First, I’d want to realistically consider where we are at as a team. While there is a lot to be excited about with this Rams team, the reality is we are a team looking to fall into the range of 8-8 to 10-6 (if the sun and the moon align) with our (soon to be) elite, franchise quarterback in place. If we are aiming for a 9-7 season with Sam, we’re not a playoff team with a backup in his place.

So, looking at what both players bring — Thad has shown the ability to be a very good passer, and partly due to being younger, definitely has an edge in athleticism. He’s also shown flashes of great awareness and ability to pass under pressure and into tight seams. What he lacks is NFL experience.

And that is supposed to be what AJ Feeley brings — experience. But looking back at his career… honestly, I don’t buy it. He has 10 years in the league, sure, but it’s 10 years of either not taking snaps or not having more TDs than INTs. Looking at his career…

2001: One partial game — 2 TDs, 1 Int
2002: 6 games — 6 TDs, 1 Int
2003: Did not take a snap
2004: 11 games — 11 TDs, 15 Ints
2005: Did not take a snap
2006: 2 Games — 3 TDs, 0 Int
2007: 3 Games — 5 TDs, 8 Ints
2008 – 2010: Did not take a snap

We’re talking about a guy who is going into his 10th year in the NFL with a career line of 27 TDs and 29 Ints. I really don’t understand how people apply the “Experience” tag to AJ Feeley. I thought, with backup QBs, the whole reason you valued “Experience” was because you thought you had a guy on the bench who, while he may not be flashy and make big plays, would at least have a positive TD:INT ratio and not risk losing you games.

I don’t feel AJ Feeley gives us that. I don’t see any way whatsoever AJ wins you games and provides value with his “experience” if Sam is unavailable to play.

ASIK AND DESTROY

by JStymie on Sep 2, 2011 9:38 AM CDT reply actions  

Exactly....I dont think he is an ideal backup either.

You want your backup to just be smart with the football, lean on his playmakers to win the game. The Rams are in a position where they need a guy like this. They have a great defense that will keep the team in the game as long as their backup qb doesnt throw INTs. Which guy is that right now? Yup Thad!

by Mudsharktoo on Sep 2, 2011 12:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

Keep Thad

We picked Sam No.1 overall and he checked out medically. If we are going to be successful, Sam has to play, and play well. If, heaven forbid, Sam goes down, I’d rather give an opportunity to a guy with potential rather than go with an experience guy with limited ability because I am scared and play it safe.

You could even argue that Thad, with all those yards in college, has as much recent experience in a Pro style offence as Feeley does anyway.

Another way to look at it, is that if we want to get better year on year and have a long term solution at back-up, keep Thad. If we want to find ourselves in this position year on year, keep Feeley.

This doesn’t even consider the cap cost, which makes Thad a clear leader for the position IMHO.

lol Glad you enjoyed the post

  The fact is, I’d rather write about a QB controversy with a humorous edge than wth hyperbole.

  One thing I should have addressed is that Thad is getting playing time now, so he’s improving. Without regular snaps, he may not be as effective later in the season. The Rams won’t be saving $2+ million either. Thad will get a new contract, probably in the 600K to 800K range if he named the number two. Thad’s still my choice, but the reality of his choice as #2 will have a cost.

by Douglas M on Sep 2, 2011 1:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yup-

By elevating Lewis to the official position of #2 QB, he can rightfully demand a

Mentor

As much as they might say that there is no way Feely is mentoring Sam. Feely struggles to make plays and read the D so how in the world could he mentor Sam. If Feely had a ton of playing time I would say maybe but given the fact that Sam has damn near as much playing time on one season as AJ in a career doesn’t make him much of a mentor. Like everyone is syaing if Sam goes down so does the ship. If a Jeff Garcia or someone like that was behind Sam then I give you the mentor deal but not AJ. Thad stays…if that don’t work there are other vets out there who could take snaps. AJ=Cap Casualty

That should be the Rams goal.

In a perfect world, the Rams dominate the division to the point where they can rest their starters in the last couple games of the season and give Thad some quality snaps in a real game. Then other teams see how well he plays and then the Rams trade him off for high round draft picks. Dude look what the Eagles got for Kolb. Quality QBs right now are going for ALOT because they are in such demand right now.

It's just a matter of time

his rookie season was good. We got him more weapons + a new OC. He has the potential to be an elite QB in this league

Yup-T. Louis might play somewhere, but T. Lewis will stay here for awhile-

The way I see it

AJ Feeley or Thad Lewis + a new cornerback

When in doubt, go with the player with more upside.

Thady has more ceiling to improve. The jurys already in with Feely. He’s not going to get any better. I say cut bait with Feely and grab a UDFA QB off the street for the league minimum. Thats equates to $2.2 million off the books and will save a couple of worthy players from being cut.

Better yet, try to get something for him in a trade.

I know he has value as a backup, just not here as much. They might be able to get 6th round draft choice for him.

Feeley=Shurmer?

Never know, Shurmer could see value in trading for his boy Feeley to mentor Mr. McCoy

Thad

earned number two, get rid of feeler, gain some cap space and keep an extra WR.
That’s it, cya at the playoffs.

Update on backup QB spot...

Ron Clements – Tough decision at backup QB for Rams
Coach Steve Spagnuolo said one of the tougher roster decisions is at QB, where undrafted second-year player Thaddeus Lewis has outplayed 11-year veteran A.J. Feeley. The team kept two QBs on the roster last year with Lewis on the practice squad. The decision now is whether to go with three QBs or keep Lewis over Feeley. Rams RapidReports

Everyone on here seen it coming-except me. I thought Feeley was safe

I'm hoping Denver cuts Adam Weber and we pick him up for our practice squad

Bradford, Lewis and Weber is a QB staff I’d be satisfied with this season.

i think we should have tried to bring bulger in as backup

no that we have a better team he would have been better than feely or thad

Kris O'Dowd is available

Cards cut him, we should take him for a spin

Very smart center.

Plagued with injuries in his latter years at SC, but when he was physically right, he was highly regarded as one of the best centers SC has ever had (2008).

Keith Null or Kyle Boller,

arguably the greatest QB controversy in the history of football.

can't even compete with the John Skelton / Max Hall / Derek Anderson controversy.

…. Oh wait that wasn’t a controversy, that was just a cluster fuck.
