Kind of a loaded statement by Jeremiah, " a backup quarterback"

First of all, if the Rams think he's a 10-year Franchise Quarterback, and I'm NOT saying they do, he will be a backup Quarterback for 1-2 years.

Secondly, as far as the Rams being a dropped punt away from a Super Bowl. The Rams have already made up the gap, if there even WAS one between them and Seattle. Seattle has gotten worse. Rams have gotten better already before the Draft (McDuffie and Watson) so Rams don't NEED this pick to be an instant impact player.

I'm not saying if I had to put money on it the Rams are selecting Simpson. I do think however they are lurking as the 3rd or 4th most likely team to do so.
Of course, he's speaking from a mindset of the team selecting someone who might offer immediate help to the final goal.

Besides, removing any so-called gap between the Rams and Seattle shouldn't be the focus. It's a different season. The Rams have improved, but so have other teams in the NFC. The 49ers won twelve games minus injured key players. The Cowboys are a defense away from being a significant issue and they are attacking that issue this offseason. The Bears will be in their 2nd year under Ben Johnson....etc... It's a whole new ballgame.

Oh yes of course it is. And Carolina improved as well. Just that the way he put it including the dropped punt implies that the Rams are going to take a player for NOW.

My only point was, and is a big if, if the Rams love Simpson long-term they would have no problem drafting him and sitting him a year or two. All this while remaining fully capable to win the next Super Bowl.
