Sorry, I think he's way overrated. He's being pushed up the draft because of the lack of QB talent in this draft and because of how important the position is. He's got backup written all over him at best.
You might be right, we're just gonna have to wait and see. WHERE he goes could determine it.

That too plays a part but the NFL typically isn't a patient league no matter how good sit him down sounds. I just don't see it with this guy. There's even better QB prospects coming out next year. Every year, draft pundits push QBs up that have no business being drafted very high. Sanders last year, Clausen, Rosen, etc.
Lets not automatically lump Simpson in with a stereotype. Each individual has the chance to buck the trend. And Simpson is WAY better than those guys besides and is a Football lifer.

Sorry but he fits it like a glove. All the QBs mentioned were being advocated to be picked higher by the media (Sanders was the only one where teams knew he sucked). By the way here's Clausen's stats vs Simpson's......wonder why I'd make a comparison there huh lol
Clausen
Simpson
He absolutely did. I remember it because it was the first year I started caring about the draft. Admittedly, I wanted Sanchez to the Rams (oops).
However, let’s not forget that there was a lot of doubt about Stafford coming out. I found this article from 2009.
https://www.espn.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/1620/finding-context-in-the-stafford-debate
“When McShay, Mayock and Jim from Cincinnati express their concerns about Stafford, it's primarily for these reasons: College quarterbacks don't typically improve their accuracy in the NFL. If his decisions were at all suspect against SEC opponents, then it's reasonable to wonder how he will react to professional defenses.”
Alas, here we are at the tail end of a Hall of Fame career.
With that said…I’m a no for Simpson, but won’t care if we take him provided the rest of our draft gets us to the promised land
No I didn't wonder why at all. All I know is Simpson is going to have a career and Claussen did not have one.

Rodgers is a top 3 QB of all time and considered the best thrower of the football of any QB ever.
Remember when Allar was supposed to be first round draft talent last year? That's exactly how I feel about Tyson, he looked good this year, but he's realistically 2-3 round talent that needs to be a backup for a couple of years in the NFL before stepping on the field. Problem is these guys go shitty ass teams with terrible coaches and it completely implodes their careers. Look no further than Mendoza if he goes to the Raiders. Decent to good QB but will get ruined by a crap team.

He might be the next Clausen. No guarantee. Simpson is not some great no miss prospect at all. In fairness to him, those guys are rare and do typically go at the very top of the draft.

Hurts is a product of his system. And his own team doesn’t like him anymore.

You got to clearer on what you mean there...... Lamar has legit elite speed and was ok throwing so I could see the intrigue there but Hurts. Man he's lucky he had the team he had. He's not as good as people make him out to be. I'd say he's a slightly above average starter. That Eagles team was stacked.
