We didn't have to trade up for him. Some years the QB market for the Draft is either thrilling or sub par or worse. That's why it is the most crucial position in football.

Like every season the QB allure is going to happen again this off season. Personally I would be just fine as Dan Orlovsky or Chad Henne if that's my career. Even Wentz has stuck around. :)

We have two solids behind #9.

Had he played this year, he would have been a top 10 pick easily. So I don't have an issue with it.

I'm not remotely advocating that Simpson replace Stafford.

Luke Kuechly said that in today's NFL you need a quarterback that can take advantage of open lanes to run and extend plays. He made reference of needing mobility as opposed to being a pocket passer (Stafford is an exception). Simpson has demonstrated that ability. Stafford looked and is too slow to take advantage of the openings.

You can discuss if he was taken too early, limited upside and happy feet etc...... He has shown the ability to move around, create space and take advantage of open lanes.

Well for the record I'm happy with the way the Rams are handling Simpson. I like that he's QB3 and that distance insulates him from the "hey let's put him in" thing from the fans. Because fans always want the new car smell if there's one in the driveway.

Also Stafford puts up stinker games time to time and usually he'll bounce back big from them. This one was so embarrassing that maybe he'll go on a long tear of great form too. So not worried about him yet, though I was pissed as hell at him during the game looking like he was gonna shit his pants and missing throws and locking onto the wrong options. I mean he can lock onto options and throw them open, but there's times where he's got to just cycle his reads and distribute the damn ball.

It's possible Stafford hits the wall. It happens to QBs in his age range. So if that looks like it's the case, i.e. he continues to play like shit, then I'd imagine eventually the Rams will go to the kid. But I hope Simpson gets a full redshirt. I'd like him to have full command of the scheme and make his name on the scout team during his rookie season like Mahomes did. Just get to the point where his game is really sharp and the defense hates playing him in practice.

In fact we had the opportunity for Ty Simpson because of the Atlanta Falcons who are starting Cooper Rush tomorrow just an example. I'm a believer beyond scouts and etc it's still a roll of the dice.

I'm still impressed with Brock Purdy Mr. Irrelevant succeeded #3 overall Trey Lance.

Genie in a bottle stuff right there!

Anyone watching OSU-Texas? Isn't Arch Manning Cooper's son? Where are the Peyton and Eli son's at?

If he goes to the Browns or Jets like history shows. Wait the Browns still OWE Watson a ton! The Jets would ruin him too.

I think Peyton's kid is on the way. He is a big time HS QB prospect. Only a 15 yr old freshmen back up this year, but is expected to be a top prospect.

Yes Arch is Coopers son but as Philly said Petyons son is a high school senior big time recruit
 
Finally someone shut up THE Ohio State University. NIL and all. LOL

Dr. Pepper wasn't going to help the Buckeyes.

Longest comeback win since 2007. WOW!
 
Dante Moore is just mid
John Mateer makes me wonder what I ever saw in the guy
Arch may have led the comeback, but he's so shaky
Sellers hasnt done much, though noting was needed so far
All in all this QB class that is supposed to rival 1983 is off to a weak start

I dont think Sellers will ever put ip numbers his supporting cast is so bad. Hell absolutely be drafted off physical attributes
 
All these college QBs are underwhelming and have lots of warts.
Arch - some poor teams fan base is gonna be way overhyped when they they draft him and it’ll eventually turn into be feeding to the lions in Rome.
The two that look the best so far are Mensah and Carr. But both these guys are are stacked teams ; and neither of them have played anyone good. So it’s hard to truly gauge either of them so far.
 
I think the value of this next class will be in the depth of it. Some teams will end up with good QB adds outside that early going.
 
LSU getting their ass beat by Ole Miss tonight. Kind of enjoying it. :laugh3:

Leavitt better calm down and start making throws or he's gonna feel that heat cranked way up.

LSU defense btw just looks slow and confused too. That DC is gonna be in the pressure cooker with Leavitt, as they can't stop Ole Miss.

Chambliss is small but he's a gamer.
 
I’d like to see one of our mobile backups get rep’d on some run/pass option or goal line situations and get used in games occasionally.

It’s a bit frustrating that McVay is so seemingly against experimenting with personnel.
