Yeah ... But ...

That 1985 Rams' Team was primarily a terrific running game and very strong Defense.

My memory was that the Rams had no passing game at all in the '85 Playoffs, so I did a quick check.

In the NFC Championship, against an all-time Great Defense, Brock was 10-of-31 for 66 yards.

In the Divisional Round, where Dickerson ran for 248 yards and the Defense shut-out the Cowboys (great win), Brock was actually worse ... 6-of-22 for 50 yards.

And that one pass that he overthrew Brown.

Seems like Brock was just about 6'0 183 cm, however, he did have two horrendous post season games both against the Cowboys and then the Bears.

I will always remember Madden saying, " That was a duck to Passworth!", after Brock overthrew Bobby Duckwork on a wobbly sideline pass.

Always felt that Robinson should have gone with the more mobile Kemp against the Bears in the 2nd half. Could not have done any worse.

Bulger, with his shitty OL, was getting his ass handed to him week in and week out.

Bulger really took a beating back then and this was before the rules on late QB hits got really tight.
It didn't help that many passing plays were designed for him to release the ball in 3 seconds ....... problem was, the O line could usually only give him 2.4 seconds.

Yeah, he was exposed in those playoffs. I remember being so excited when the Rams drafted Everett, who actually had the ability to throw the ball downfield. Dieter was so embarrassing. (Not you, @dieterbrock )

I would have even settled for this Dieter:

...over Dieter Brock. I would have been as happy as a little giiiirl.

I can't remember even one good play in that '85 Bears game.
Soooo disappointed in that whole Dieter Brock era.
Glad it was short.
Almost as bad as the old Joe Namath to the Rams move.
 
I don't have a specific ceiling in mind ... but since McVay of all coaches took him and will be developing him, I think Simpson's ceiling is pretty high. I'm very confident that he has what it takes from the neck up - the guy seems to have a lust for football that matches McVay, not to mention an insane football memory and high football IQ.

If you were going to rank the best landing spots in the NFL for Simpson, from 1-32, the Rams were an easy #1, with a great HC/offensive mind and an MVP/HOFer to sit behind and learn. That alone pushes his ceiling upward.

Nobody. But since this is all an exercise in entertaining ourselves, what the hell??

He could be a franchise QB.....Stafford, Goff, Everett or he could be an average Joe.....Joe Germaine, Sam Bradford, Case Keenum.

Nobody knows.

I'll go outside the franchise and say he could be a Montana.

Slight build
No cannon arm.
Mobility.
Next level cerebral ability.
A HC who puts him in the best position for success.

And wouldn't that really piss off niner fans for 10-15 years!!!

He does not have a "slight" build.

Not sure why people are saying as a floor........... T.J Rubley............Jamie Martin ????
If he is not at worst as good a QB as Bulger its a wasted pick. He should be at least as good as Everett.
I say he could be a Joe Montana with a bigger arm as well as being faster and more physical.

As everyone knows, I am not sure if Simpson can take the hits in the NFL so my ceiling is Sam Bradford.

A QB with a high possibility of being really good yet maybe injury prone.

Put Bulger on those Robinson 80's Rams teams (Pre Everett), they may have gotten to a SB.
