I felt the same way on this until I heard Snead's interview yesterday. He said one of the considerations that tilted them towards selecting him was, "Oh, by the way, we do a QB2." That sounds like in their minds, he could contribute this year.

Sounds like what McVay said about Simpson and Bennett fighting it out for QB2 is the plan.
Agree. I think its Bennett and Simpson for QB's 2 + 3. Ride or die.

If Bennett beats out Simpson.

Three comments after reading 82 pages... the first is that I believe the Rams will sign an experienced QB to get them thru the season. Maybe Tyrod Taylor, but the team cannot count on Simpson or Bennett to carry them for a few games unless one of them balls out during preseason.
I get Simpson needs some seasoning but if he can't lead us to 2-2 if Stafford misses 4 games than we've got some real issues going forward.

If one of Adams or Puka is still healthy, a rookie WR can still certainly contribute. You wouldn't want the whole offense running through them unless that WR is a sure fired stud. Those are pretty rare but then again, Puka opened my eyes up that anyone can surprise us. I'm not saying anything about having drafted one, just saying there's no way to ever know if some unknown WR is gonna make a name for himself that no one saw coming. We got very lucky with Puka on that end. Can't imagine where'd we be at WR wise without him.
And the thing about McVay not playing rookies - he has had only one first round rookie ever.

And that was Verse - and guess what he played a lot.

I think a first round rookie would play a lot most of the time. This year's lot... maybe not.

Unless it was Lemon (who looks like he might have an attitude after a couple years - wouldn't want him for that), maybe Cooper or Boston, plus I liked Bain a lot.
 
Well, let’s see how they play? I’m the wrong person when it comes to Stetson Fleming Bennett IV.
Already stated multiple times:
No freak-outs from me about Simpson til Year 2 minimum.

I wasnt here in 2016, but I'm wiling to bet the HYSTERIA was off the charts during Jared Goff's 0-7 start to his career.

Simpson starts as QB3...? Yawn...:yawn::yawn::yawn:

McVay always defers to experience when it comes to rookie offensive players. Exceptions are Kupp and Puka. For anyone to come to a judgement on Simpson if he isn't the #2 it will be a mistake. We will have to be patient with this situation.

I agree, when Adams went down, we lost games. Adams is older now. Hopefully he holds up.
Lucky charm effect?

Rams lost a couple games, but they scored 37, 24, and 37 points, respectively, without Adams. Defense and special teams were the issue.

Interestingly enough they scored 35 points in the game without Puka.

Yes but, quick, early, totally irrational judgments are just SO FUN!!!
