OFFICIAL 2026 NFL News: Trades, cuts, free agency, and more

[El Chapo Jr]

So you're giving these other QBs a year to improve yet not Simpson? Simpson with a year of NFL coaching could very well be better at that point. You can argue that others have better physical traits and should be improved and likely a better QB prospect NEXT YEAR. So say we don't draft Simpson. Who do we then draft next year and at what cost? The way you talk, you seem to think that QB you haven't named is a sure fire franchise QB. That is a pretty rare commodity in any draft. So who is it or who are your sure fire candidates? What I see are several QBs with potential to take a next step. Y'know... kinda like '26 was supposed to be when we were all talking about it in '25. Simpson very well could be better than anyone coming out next year. I'm not saying he will be but it's definitely possible and not all that crazy as you assume. I wouldn't get so invested in your opinion being the only non-crazy, non-ridiculous take.

Another misunderstanding I see. I'll start by saying I think you may be tying what I'm simply saying with me not liking Simpson as a pick. Thats not the case whatsoever. I'm just saying there is no way to already proclaim that Simpson is a better college prospect than next year's crop as its unknown aka a general statement. Is it possible? Of course, but to spew it as gospel like Coliseum Ram did is crazy. Mendoza for example came out of nowhere to be the 1st overall pick. I find it odd that I'm being asked to name a sure fired prospect based on a generalized statement. Pretty weird to compare Simpson to a college prospect after Simpson gets a year of NFL coaching/training under his belt when those other prospects don't. NFL coaching and exposure to practice with top NFL players blows away anything in college so that isn't fair in my book to compare that way at all. When draft analysts compare draft eligible players, its always about what type of prospect they are coming out of college. Again just saying there's no way to know that aspect and think its crazy to think so.

I remember back in the Bradford/Suh debate there were fans who were actually rooting for Bradford to fail so they can say i told you so. Even if it meant the team failed. I recommend anyone who is not in favor of Simpson to not fall into that trap. Its makes for a miserable fandom. Simpson is our guy now. And we have a special season to look forward too.
