DRAFT Where do you stand on QB Ty Simpson?

Rams trade #13 to the steelers so THEY can draft Simpson.
Rams get #21 and #53.

Rams pick WR Boston.

Burrow in two years is the ideal.

But hoping is not a plan.

We have to consider several obstacles to that happening. Do franchise QBs in the middle of their prime ever get traded? (Stafford was at the tail end of his prime.)

Even if he's traded, the chances of the Rams being the team to trade for him is like winning the lottery.

Overall, the odds that we can successfully trade for him are likely in the single digits.

So, what's the plan if the pie-in-the-sky dream doesn't materialize?

Draft a kid with Coachable traits and a good arm that you like a lot???

That plan worked out pretty amazing for the Chargers with Brees and Rivers. Just think of that. You could argue they should have stuck with Brees!

I hope it’s is not them, for his sake and ours, but agree the Jets should do that!

I forgot about the Chargers with Brees/Rivers. They nailed both. Although didn’t Brees leave via free agency? An interesting ‘what if’ they resigned Brees and didn’t draft Rivers.

What does it indicate about Joe Burrow's "compete level" that he sat for the same amount of time at Ohio State?

Martz's best QB, the guy who won multiple MVP awards, sat for four years in college.

And also, Martz' handpicked guy, vanilla, placid, Marc Bulger, who he replaced the ULTRA-Competetive Kurt Warner with, didn't exactly strike me as "MR. Competitive."

They Drafted Rivers while they STILL HAD Brees. They were teammates for 2 whole Seasons.

Ummm yes, I’m aware. That’s the whole point. We were discussing drafting two QBs in multiple years - a solid guy (late first/ early 2nd) and then next year or two drafting a top 5–10 guy.

Maybe you did not read the words “what if” ?!?

Okay, a little misleading. Brees and Rivers Drafted THREE years apart. All good.

Simpson is almost the anti bust if we take Zach Wilson as an example of a QB (who was drafted at no 2), at the same height and weight

I have complete faith in Simpson being a plus starter in this league. That’s his floor because he doesn’t have any of these faults. In fact, Wilson’s faults are his strengths!

“As with Manziel, too much of Wilson’s work comes off-schedule due to inconsistent anticipation and a desire to hit the big play. But like both Manziel (at Texas A&M) and Plummer, heâs mobile with the ability to extend plays and hit the chunk play. Wilsonâs sophomore year tape shows troubling decision-making, so NFL teams will need to balance his 2019 and 2020 production in the evaluation process. Heâs put in a lot of work to get to this point and has the potential to become a good pro. However, he might need to play with a more disciplined approach to reach his ceiling”
