Stafford: 75" / 214
Ty Simpson (AL): 73.5" / 211
Stetson (GA): 71" / 190

Ty is the same ht./wt. as McCollough, and just 10 lbs lighter than Dolac.
Shocked tho about Stetson, I always thought he looked a bit small but...
 
I want to say you're wrong due to my general dislike of Bulger, but you're probably not wrong. :laugh2:
The more I thought about it, there were some great teams to get past, so probably not, but some games would have been closer.

The great Redskins, Niners, Giants, and Bears teams would have been tough to beat.

Now, maybe put him on those 70's teams, and maybe they would get to a SB. Especially considering the great defense and running game that Rams had back then.

Very late and haven't read all.. but..

Turbocharged Pat Haden?

More refined Jeff Kemp?

His best ACTUAL comps are Brock Purdy, Bo Nix, and Drew Brees. Understand its a "Rams Comp" question but there really isnt a fit.

He's far above a guy like Jeff Kemp and also well above Pat Haden.

So I'll say his floor is Purdy and ceiling is Brees. Not really passionate about this opinion.
 
Not sure why people are saying as a floor........... T.J Rubley............Jamie Martin ????
If he is not at worst as good a QB as Bulger its a wasted pick. He should be at least as good as Everett.
I say he could be a Joe Montana with a bigger arm as well as being faster and more physical.
I kiddingly said floor as Null, but I agree with you if his floor is anywhere near those guys it is a huge miscalculation on part of the Rams.

I truly believe Simpson, barring injury or something weird, will be a top ten quarterback in the league at least. And he will potentially be great. Amazing actually.
 
Reality is, Simpson is not going to be Stafford. So realistically, the best we can expect is he's the best Simpson. I'm hoping for a Don Mattingley-Tino Martinez transition. Tino never replaced Donnie Baseball in the hearts of Yankee fans but his numbers were better. As were the team results because the surrounding cast was better and Tino was excellent in his own right.

The Yankees Suck! There, had to get that off my chest.

Im just hoping Simpson is capable of steering the ship and guiding Rams to both, Playoff, and Ultimate success. Matthew Stafford has very little to do with it, other than Simpson doesn't get on the field until Staff feels like leaving.
 
Less accurate bulger? That means he'll be pretty inaccurate.

Bulger might have a good completion rate but he wasn't accurate at all. He was always throwing behind receivers and they got used to slowing down to make sure the ball hit them.

I'll never forget the day Warner had to sub in for bulger when he got injured in a game in 03. Warner was putting the ball out in front of the receivers so they could run after the catch but they couldn't get to the ball because they had become accustomed to slowing down. Frustrating.

That's why the wrs began falling to the ground after making a catch. They had no momentum and were sitting ducks.

Bulger was the best in the league at that time at the medium to deep crossers.....he was pretty average outside of that.
But, Martz used those crossers a lot.
 
He's 6'1" not 6'4" or 6'5". To me that's slight. If it sounds better I could say he's not tall or he's not a big QB.....much like Montana.
Baker is listed as 6-1", 215 lbs. I don't consider him slightly built. Do you?

I'm not looking at weight, though it matters to a degree. I'm talking height ... to see over OL.

6'5" = Big
6'3" = Average
6'1" = Slight

As far as weight goes, right now doesn't matter. By the time he's asked to play he'll probably have another 5 - 10 lbs. He's not getting any taller though.
