If you are sick, disgusted, or otherwise disturbed by this pick, then don't ever, ever, ever say you trust in McVay and Snead again. They loved him, then it's the right pick.
I don't hate the player... I actually really like Simpson. I think if we had traded down to get an extra pick or two I would have less trepidation over it. But if he ends up being a super star QB we won't give a shit in a few years.
I'm not sure why folks on this forum are complaining. I love this for two reasons:
1. Simpson looked damn good making the throws that are key to our offense.
2. It tells me that Sean McVay is planning to stick around for the long haul. He picked Stafford's successor.
The fact that Snead played a role in convincing Simpson to declare tells me that they're very high on this kid.

I'm probably gonna say what most are thinking---I hope this works out to be an amazing replacement for Stafford. I truly do.
But right now, I'm confused by this pick. We had a chance to get something great that helps us NOW..
Time will tell.

One of the fucking dumbest things ive ever seen mcvay and snead do.
Welp... I kind of prepared myself for this, let's try to remain positive.
Let's just hope this is the next version of Favre passing the torch Aaron Rodgers, and then nobody will be complaining.

I have, too many times. This will either be the best or one of the all-time worst picks in Rams history.

From Bob McGinn anonymous scouts talk prospects series:
2. TY SIMPSON, Alabama (6-1, 212, no 40, 1-2): Backed up Bryce Young in 2022 and Jalen Milroe in 2023-’24, throwing just 50 passes in three seasons. Started in ’25. “You could argue Ty Simpson over Mendoza,” one scout said. “The biggest concern is he’s a one-year starter. Started off really hot and then he got banged up and was dealing with injuries toward the end of the season. He’s really talented. He’s an underrated athlete. He’s got good feet and escapability. He’s really tough. Probably his best trait is his football intelligence and instincts. Kid’s always in command. Really good pre- and post-snap. You see it on film. He can manipulate safeties with his eyes. His footwork is really good, both in the shotgun and coming out from under center. He’s got a quick, compact release. His touch is really good. With the right team he can be a solid starter. I think he’d run 4.6, 4.65.” His father, Jason, owns a 130-98 record as coach of FCS Tennessee-Martin since 2006. Jason played quarterback at Mississippi State for two years. “Son of a coach,” a second scout said. “Good accuracy, smart. At one point during the season he was right up there at or above Mendoza.” Finished his career with a passer rating of 100.6. Also ran for 223 and five TDs. “He was as efficient as anybody in the country in the first eight weeks,” said a third scout. “Then he wasn’t 100%, got into tougher games and competition, didn’t play as good. He has subtle pocket movement. I think he’s a good enough scrambler. Not a great arm. He throws good. His greatest strength is he is a great kid. He’s still no certain thing. But there probably aren’t as many doubts (compared) to the others.” Five-star recruit from Martin, Tenn. “Fifteen starts, one-year starter,” said a fourth scout. “He’s a little guy that’s wild and inconsistent. He doesn’t have good feel for timing. He’s terrible against pressure. He’s a good little athlete but he doesn’t escape pressure well. He should have stayed in school. You’re really just gambling. There’s nothing on tape where you say, ‘He should have come out. He’s going to be a first-rounder.’ It’s years away with this guy.”

People that think they know more than Mcvay and Snead crack me up. They clearly love this kid. That's enough for me.

I think it's the fact we have a SB windown right now brother. We could have gotten a blue chip talent.
It may work out in time, and I'm sure everyone hopes it does. Just hard to visualize right now.
You can read all my posts, never stated that once. I'll eat crow if Simpson turns into a player, but at the present I'm not to worried about that.
Seems like a good kid. Super excited that this feels like a continuation of McVay and Snead era.
I want someone for NOW in the offense and the Rams certainly have a plan.

We got our blue-chip talent in the first round: Trent McDuffie, an All Pro CB.
