Well, you have to trust your scouts, coaches, and GM to clear those muddy waters and come up with who they value the most for this system. Thats their job afterall. Maybe none are worth day 1 or 2 pick, but if one is, that's the guy you try to get instead of settling for a bargain 5th rounder. That's all I am saying.
Well all know this. But since we don't know the Rams board we are speculating.
The difference is you're acting like we need QB right now. I also want a QB. But I'm willing to consider other needs, the value of those other players instead of said QB, and I have looked at these guys and I don't think there's a vast gulf between Simpson and any of the other slighter framed QBs in this group.
That last sentence is where you differ from a whole lot of people and why you'll continue to get pushback and comments. Not trying g to be hyperbolic but the only replies to that are going to come off that way.
I get that argument. I am torn myself on the approach.
Only thing that he has in common with Stafford is his jersey number. And I’m not just saying MVP Stafford. You could take any version of Matthew (going back to Georgia) and he shits all over this guy
Nah I get you man. And in this conversation, due to the projection of these guys being so difficult, it is the conversation itself that I enjoy not the destination of where I or anyone else sort them. I just think that we see this effect every year, where the media listings of where the QBs are slated settles into the minds of the fans in form of some unassailable groupthink. And it's always wrong with numerous players in terms of how they end up translating to the league. Which is why I mentioned Dart and Shough.
Talking in circles a bit here.
I don't mind the pushback. As I was under the impression we're having a fun QB discussion here. Shows what I know.
No speculation is ever needed. But we do it anyway.
I'm having fun just pointing the difference of opinion. I think Simpson is a 1st round QB. There are a couple that could go in the 4th on upside. The rest are 7th round or udfa that have the career upside of a backup. We disagree and we keep yappi g at each other about it.
So a new head coach who's sn OC is going to trade away the only real sure fire starting QB and run with Geno Smith? The same Geno that the HCs previous team got rid of after 1 year as their OC?
That playoff loss was not good for him. He was ineffective, got hurt, then the backup came in and moved the offense and looked like the superior QB.
I have to admit that Payton is my latest QB crush. I also read somewhere that his ball comes out of his hand somehow more like a right handed thrower. Not sure how that works but they were saying that lefties have a weird spin that can be difficult for receivers but that his ball flies more like a right hander. I like what I've seen from him though and he seems like someone that could be pretty good after a year or two with NFL coaching.
That's fair, however, I do think he runs better then a young Stafford, however, I do think Payton is someone that you might be able to develop.
