For the doubters: check out analysis by Orlovsky, Baldinger, Gruden, and many others who are sky-high on Simpson.

Bama had a terrible O-line, terrible run game, terrible receivers. Simpson was running around like a maniac making superhero plays.

Now Simpson will have a great supporting cast and a great system.

I bet most here are gonna change their tune on this guy.

McVay doesn’t have final say. You can watch the footage of McVay and Snead interacting in the war room over recent years and it takes 2 seconds to see which one is making the final decisions. Does Snead respect McVay and his input? Absolutely. But Snead is the one making the call.

McVay has more than enough power in this organization to veto that sort of move if he's not on board with it.

Maybe some picks but I think this pick was 100% Sneads. He’s been high on Simpson going back to the middle of the season. McVay probably didn’t event look at his tape until February. Sneads been leading this call for 6 months.

So they were wrong about him, correct? Could have drafted an impact player instead, correct?

Look, it is what it is. I've stated that Simpson was a pick I'd be disappointed in...and so I am.
But I'm not distraught or ranting like many others.
Basically I wanted the "high" of a fan who was looking forward to a player who could contribute this season instead of a QB in round 1.

How were they wrong? He was drafted to be a backup.
And that is what he is
You think he was a wasted because he didnt supplant Stafford? Good grief

McVay doesn’t look happy at all. Maybe I am reading too much into his facial expression and body language.

I thought the same watching it.

Maybe he’s being respectful to Stafford. It’s still his team and all. That’s my hope.

I don't want to watch it again but I'm pretty sure he was really firm with one question in saying this was Matthew's team for as long as he wants to play. That should really go without saying, in my opinion. Almost like he was saying "IDGAF who this kid is, this is Matthew's team and he's a backup at best until he hangs 'em up."

Edit: painstakingly watched it again and he said "lets make one thing clear, this is Matthew's team."

Yes I’ve seen that tweet several times. Do you think McVay is going to leak to Jourdan that he’s not on board with the pick? Seriously?

Do you seriously believe that McVay cannot overrule Snead and higher ups wouldn't take McVay's side? He's the franchise. Not Snead.

The only rationale for this pick is “I trust Snead and McVay”. That’s it. There’s absolutely nothing else about this pick that makes sense. There’s no other way you can justify outside of the fact that Snead really likes him.

He played one full season of college football (and he barely got thru that!!) and he wasn’t very good for the second half of it. He’s 6’1. There is no historical analog that anyone can point to and say “that player had similar size and experience to Ty Simpson, and his career turned out great!”. It literally doesn’t exist.

Could have drafted an impact player in the late fourth round? Let me put it this way, there was only one Pro Bowler drafted after we picked Stetson Bennett at pick #128 in the 2023 NFL Draft. Guess which team drafted that Pro Bowler? I'll give you a hint, that team plays their home games in Los Angeles.

A. Nobody was looking for a pro-bowler in the 4th...not sure where you got that from.

B. My point was that people basically say "trust McVay with QBs"...and I pointed out the fault in this logic.

C. You just proved my point with your Puka comment.

This honestly feels worse than losing to Seattle in the NFC championship game.
At least there we lost to the slightly better team overall.

This is like seeing our SB window nailed shut for the next 5 years.

It would be one thing if this guy looked like a future franchise QB.
But he doesn't even look like he can play.

I won't even bother watching the draft the next few days after this.
Absolutely sickening.

Wow. Really?
