He'd either be starting for Bama or getting paid a LOT to start for another team.
Tell me you dont follow Alabama football without telling me you dont follow Alabama football....
He outplayed all of those QBs according to every expert including the ones who have reservations over his lack of starts and his drop off after he was injured and lost nearly 2 stone
I agree only we don’t know what Stafford is thinking beyond winning a SB in Sofi. That and we don’t have a viable reserve currently. Snead said so himself, they are not just looking at this year
I don't know if they want any QB this draft, but in answer to the OP's question -- I'd wait until the 3rd round and if Nussmeier or Payton are there, and no player they covet is available, try one.
If they trade back and get a 4th or 5th rounder, maybe the Freak Taylon Green out of Arky, as he has a high ceiling.

I see it as 2 ways, I'd love for them to fully go in and support Staff this year and punt on QB. If they do this, I'd fully expect for them to go ape shit next year and trade 2 1sts + to move up and grab one of the potentially 13 good QB's entering the draft next year. Obviously that number can and will change, but, my point is a LOT of quality QB's are likely in the draft next season and there will not be 10+ NFL teams needing a 1st round QB.
Or, you try and trade back a bit and grab another top 100 pick to draft Simpson. Use those other 3 top 100 picks to fill the holes and develop Simpson this season.
I'll back either choice. I'd be not as happy if they stick and pick Simpson, we have at least 2 holes we must fill in this draft.
I just don't think doing everything you can to support Stafford now hurts the Rams future. It would still be a a great team for any QB to step into. Passing a chance to get love or a receiver, LB, Edge, or DB that can make a difference is even a bigger mistake if this is Stafford's last year.
Not exactly. They had hoped Manning and Sellers would enter the draft. Both underwhelmed and returned. But there wasn't a rumor of 10+ talented QB's being in the class.
Where are these rumors of 10+ and who are they? I see like 4.
Dante Moore is obvious but might regret returning if he has a down season, Arch and Sellers as you mentioned disappointed and returned but would have been fringe 1st in this class, and then maybe Sayin but the size complaints will hit hard during the season and before the draft. And then you've got a handful of guys like Mateer, Maiava, Leavitt that weren't thought of us as 1st round talents even though they were draft eligible in this class. What am I missing here?
All anybody could talk about before 2026 was Nussmeier, Allar, Klubnik, Beck... and now? Afterthoughts and mid/late round flyers. The grass isn't always greener...
And we're supposed to just completely overlook a Ty Simpson for the likes of...LaNorris Sellers??? Jayden Maiava? Julian Sayin? No fuckin way.....
I don't follow Bama. But I doubt they'd go with Simpson this year. They want to win a title.
Don't forget Sorsby (Cincinnati, now Texas Tech), Chambliss (Ole Miss), and Mensah (Duke, now Miami). Both Sorsby and Chambliss were thought of in circles as potential first-round picks, and Mensah was highly regarded as well.
Obviously, not everyone is going to go in the first round, but there's a lot more talent in 2027 than 2026, and with Simpson's injury history and other warts, I'm not so sure I'd take him over Moore, Sellers, Sorsby, Mensah, Maiava (if he has another good year at Southern Cal), or Chambliss. Then there's guys like Mateer (Oklahoma), Leavitt (Louisiana State), Mestemaker (Oklahoma State), possibly Dylan Raiola (Oregon, probably won't go into the draft and be Moore's successor...but stranger things have happened), possibly C.J. Carr (Notre Dame), Julian Sayin (Ohio State), D.J. Lagway (Florida) - and that's not even mentioning the fact that another quarterback could surprise us like Simpson did.
I've never been a fan of Allar, Klubnik, and especially Beck. Nussmeier fell off hard as well. The only guys I'd come close to drafting to where they're projected are Payton and Green - and even then, I'd rather go for Stafford's successor in 2027 where there's a lot more to choose from.
