I watch Bama and see an NFL QB in Simpson, that's all I know. Has the arm strength to throw the out, doesnt get happy feet in the pocket when the pass rush is on him, and goes through his progressions.
Agreed. I'd be very happy with Simpson as our QBotF. To be clear I love the player and I think he's legit, just a shame he's gonna probably go before we can get him.
My question.
Yes if Stafford keeps playing this way, and I see no reason why he won't unless injuries decimate us, it will keep the Rams from moving up. You can't expend picks to move up for a QBotF if you believe in your current QB. And it's a good problem too.
I see this and I wonder if people don't think he realizes the end is near and expects it as the professional that he is. Also you know full well because we take a QBotF in the 1st instead of another position doesn't mean we can't address said position in later rounds.
There's two sides to that coin. It's easy for us as fans to sit back and think he's fine with it, but for a player who is all-in and only has x years left (in his mind) it would be understandable for him to think those top picks should be used by the team in an all-in manner to make a run.
Again I think we all know Stafford is smart enough to know that it doesn't have to be a 1st rounder he's throwing the ball to. There are 2 first round picks on the entire offense here and he's balling the hell out. He knows he doesn't need a 1st round WR with McVay.
To add to this, I know Stafford's opinion will carry some weight, but I don't see the Rams organization as giving too much sway to a player. They're gonna do what they feel is best for the Rams. We not me.
It matters.
I agree that it matters and as I stated his opinion will carry some weight. But let's not overstate it. They're still gonna do what's best for the Rams even if he's upset.
Who could we possibly get for 2 2026 and 1 2027 first round picks? I can think of one very good QB who is playing for a pretty terrible organisation in the Bengals. But that is wishful thinking unless they stupidly fire his HC and he rightly becomes disgruntled. Cincy’s ownership are more than capable of such stupidity but it would more likely have to be a player whose situation is similar to Stafford’s was. I can’t think of anyone, playing on a 3rd contract, can you?
Who are we going to draft from this pretty underwhelming field of 2026 QBs that Stafford would feel threatened by? We had one of the best QBs in the league play for us when he was injured and yet Baker remains no match… Perhaps that was our best opportunity but personally I wouldn’t swap our future for the past three seasons including this one
On Locked on Rams, they spoke about the Rams getting Kyler Murray. My goodness, NO!
I wouldn't want him to be the new ball boy
