Not to mention, 1st Round (Simpson) is different than 7th Round (Haden), as far as pedigree goes at least.

He has to perform. We won't know how that'll go for some time and who knows who will be on the team by the time he starts. Why would anyone argue that when I'm saying he has a chance? Y'all are too sensitive to my comments and its kinda funny. Didn't know not saying good with chance would be so bad hahahaha

I actually don't mind them that kinda weird from time to time. Probably good for some awkward funny ass locker room conversationsWhich DE was it that thought Mermaids were real? That whole DL was a bit off even AD
I wouldn’t say way different. 6’1 is still considered undersized for QB. Stetson is a little shorter but he’s got bigger hands.
Anything under 6’2 is considered undersized at the QB position. And even 6’2 is borderline.
In general, i'm OK with the pick. Understand those who aren't.
What annoys me are the "we should have traded down, took him way too early, not worth the 13th pick, blah blah fucking blah" crowd.
What they conveniently COMPLETELY ignore, is there is (was) no guarantee he'd still be there A, and B, what would it have cost us to get into the QB race next year. And C, it is universally accepted that the best thing for a new QB in the NFL is to sit for a year.
So our 'wasted' 13th pick may learn for an additional year, but since that means Stafford's still playng, not a bad problem to have.
At all.

While the traditional "ideal" height for an NFL quarterback is roughly 6'3" to 6'5", there is no official minimum height requirement. However, in modern scouting, 6'0" to 6'1" is generally considered the "soft" minimum threshold for a starting QB, with any player under that height viewed as undersized.
Yeah, trade back and get him at 21. Only one problem, someone trades up and gets him at 19.
Then you get NO-THING!
Otherwise known as FAFO.
Great and smart move taking him at 13.
In the NFL, 6’1 210 is undersized for QB. Point blank, period. Especially when the person doesn’t have any extraordinary athleticism or arm strength or other defining traits. Mike Vick was 6’1, but he ran a 4.2 and could throw the ball 75 yards. Caleb Williams is 6’1 but is a great athlete with a generational arm. Read any of the scouting reports for Simpson going into the draft and they will have his size/frame as a negative.
Whatevs bro. If you liked him, these wouldn't be issues - you don't, so they are.
At 77, watched a few games in my lifetime, and Simpson looks pretty athletic to me.
Arm strength - I'll opt for accuracy. Which btw, Vick did not have.

I agree with you to an extent. When you're window is now, as the team admits, you have to get impact players now.
If this was a 9-8 team that was projected to possibly make the playoffs I'm all in on Simpson for the future. How many teams are close and don't make the right moves to win? I'd say vast majority of runner ups in the SB. Once again, just my opinion on it.
All I said was that Simpson is undersized….which he absolutely is….and you come parachuting in with “well actually…”. This isn’t even a controversial take. 6’1, 210 is undersized for the QB position. Bro.
The point I was making is that Bennett and Simpson have similar profiles and skill sets and it could make things easier for McVay if either was forced into playing time next year.
First of all, I'm not arguing.
I'm stating my opinion.
That happens a lot around here.
What I was responding to was you saying;
"I wouldn't say it gives him a very good chance at all". As you said in this screenshot;
I think it DOES give him a very good chance to succeed and I'm sticking with my story.
The draft is over.
The picks have been made.
The future will decide.
And it'll be all right.
I do believe he's intelligent but another concern of mine is mcvay himself. He's not exactly easy on his qbs and throws a lot of info on them an expects them to take that info and apply it on the field. I don't believe that's possible coming off years on the bench because reading defenses post/pre snap is alot different on the field than in the film room and Simpson is gonna have some growing pains during that process. That process could be years and mcvay isn't exactly a patient person with that position imo and with Simpson sitting the entire time he may expect him to be able to do things vets qbs can do without any live experience. I hope that isn't the case because that's an unrealistic expectation.
I really doubt McVay would spend #13 on a guy who he doesn't think can handle the mental side of Rams QBing.

The only reason our window is short is because Stafford is getting old. The rest of the team is young. Getting a young QB lengthens that window quite a few years. Keep pumping in good young players every year and that window stays open.
Once again yes and no. 15 College games and nothing that screams top 15 starter in 2-3 years. I get every player is a crap shoot. Reading majority of posters on here and vast majority of sports pundits across the country don't see a return on investment with Simpson.
I'll agree to respectfully disagree on him. If he turns into some miraculous player in a few years I'll eat crow. But to this date when making a point about a player on here my diet has been Crow Free!
