Bonus: Adams running a post into the spine of the defense, doesn't seem to be shying away from it!:laugh4:

This stuff to me is what quarterbacking is all about. People like to talk a lot more about the mobility and the cannon arm, but the QBs that have had the longest and best careers were intelligent ones who knew how to manipulate defenses.

Simpson has the #1 trait for a top QB. We'll see how some of his limitations affect things.

From listening to McVay, the key to succession isn't primarily based on whether Simpson is ready. It's whether Stafford wants to go. I agree that not having Simpson start after two years isn't ideal, but if I'm the Rams, I don't think I would push Stafford out if he still wants to play and is playing at a high level.

You're saying you would push him out! Right?
Rams: "We're done! We're moving on to Simpson."

Read my very first post on this.

My take was that if he’s not starting by year 3, the Rams misunderstood the situation.

My point is about the pick and the timeline.

Would I force Stafford out if he had a pro bowl caliber year? No.

Would I if he was middle of the pack and showed signs of aging? Absolutely.

I don't necessarily know what you mean by "misunderstood the situation", but despite what politically correct thing McVay is saying today, they would force Stafford out at year 3 if he was middle of the pack and Simpson was ready.

I'm glad Jourdan broke it all down. It's really annoying how many Rams fans refuse to admit that they were wrong about this and still insist that Sean and Les weren't on the same page, even after Sean told them they're wrong.

She also brings up an interesting point about the development of Simpson. She first states that McVay is busy gameplanning the offense and even involved in the defensive meetings. He is not working with a young backup QB or even a starting QB on his fundamentals and development in general.


So then considering the Rams go through offensive coaches almost annually. So how will that affect Simpson's development if his position coach leaves (Ragone) or the passing game coordinator or OC, etc. If they go through many of these guys over the next few years, which will happen if they remain successful, will that hamper Simpson? Will McVay get frustrated easily if Simpson cant keep pace with him as Jourdan put it?

It's a legitimate concern. We'll find out.

He's going to get world class prep from this staff. McVay may not be personally involved in coaching the rooms, but he assuredly sets the course for his staff and manages the players via them and their feedback. So I'd say that if he doesn't work out with the Rams, he simply wasn't good enough for a perennial contender with elite expectations.

He's gonna need to produce. It won't be full pressure like starting will bring, but the Rams will expect him to show well in each milestone they put before him. Seems like a great kid too so I'm sure he'll do the work. But we'll have to wait and see if he's good enough.

If a 40 or 41 yr old Stafford is mediocre, he would retire anyway. I don't see him sticking around for a paycheck. I think his wife would be the one to force him to retire before the Rams would.

Totally agree.
 
The other point is let's say the shit hits the fan, Stafford gets hurt in week 2, Bennett is overmatched, Simpson shows flashes, but isn't ready and the Rams win 5 games, end up picking 6th in next years draft.

There would be nothing preventing them from taking a higher rated QB and holding onto Simpson for a yr or so and eventually dealing him. He would have value, assuming he plays well when he does play.

So I don't see a downside to the pick outside of yes, you could have taken a guy who could be more of a factor this year in Lemon. Had they taken an OT, that is another position that would have been more like a backup role for this year.

Yes. Agree. All Quarterback options remain open.
