The comparison with Goff was strictly regarding arm strength
If he truly is 6'2 he'll be a 1st rounder
Now that Trinidad has entered the chat, it will be interesting to see how things change
Could end up with 4 QB in the 1st round
Which QB should the Rams draft in the 1st Round next year?

Yes I am aware you nerds were comparing dicks with arm strength.
Agreed that his height really matters here. That alone would not be such an issue if the sample size was bigger, but it's not and the combination of shit is what hurts him.
All that aside though Simpson does happen to be a QB that fits very much what McVay wants at the position. So I'd imagine that McVay and his staff will nuke the everliving fuck out of his film and character, maybe even count the corn in his stools.
Also I am willing to admit maybe under McVay a QB like Simpson could flourish. I agree with Jrry that McVay is very flexible. Particularly with the guys who at least are capable of stretching the field, which he is. What I wonder about is where they would see him having value. Senior Bowl week is gonna be interesting.
He's better at creating than Goff and very comfortable in the pocket and stepping up (rather than retreating), which is the gold standard in the NFL, but not something you see much from college QBs. He also plays under centre, unlike Chambliss and Mendoza, and so we know he is comfortable and capable of not only playing under centre but then going through his reads having had his back to the play ( again, that is rare in College). That said, he's QB3, as of now, and it will likely stay that way unless Moore doesn't declare for the draft (which would be a huge mistake by him IMO)
I don't agree that he will last until the 2nd round for the following reason: It seems unlikely that he would last past the Steelers. That's why, IMO, if we want him, we will need to use our first pick. If we trade back, we would need to be sure the Steelers could not jump us. So, if we [and other teams] fall in love with him during interviews [the interviews often get leaked and reported], we probably cannot trade back and may even have to trade up.
Rather, could we turn either of our round 1 picks into an additional 1st round pick next year, plus a lower pick(s) in this draft? If so (and we are not wowed by Ty's interview), there must be a reasonable chance we trade (potentially to a team that wants to draft him) and wait a year for our future QB.
He came to the Rams when Goff was practically a rookie.
I do not get why so many fans try and say McVay needs a vet or he will retire. Ludicrus .
He seen a opportunity to get Stafford.................. and took it. He seen it as a upgrade, and it was.
Thats all that happened.
I am positive of one thing, McVay needs his starting QB to be high IQ. Goff was not stupid, but he is not whip smart either. We all seen the sunset deal. Then he openly say he would pipe her. Not that bright.
* Rams do not value iOL: draft Avila with top pick (36).
* Rams do not value iLB: extend Landman to multi year extension
* Rams do not value Safety: extend Lake to multi year extension
Just some of the prior myths to this current Rams McSnead organization. Maybe the myths had some validity to it at times, but this FO is smart enough to self scout, evolve and change as needed.

I suspect this is very accurate. Goff may be smarter than he appears to be, but IQ is definitely a huge factor with McVay and dudes who are on the dull side are going to get worn down by his expectations.
Also dedication to the QB craft I think is really important with McVay. It is of course a primary predictor of success with every QB at this level. But to play for McVay requires the type of QB who is excited about the game, talking it, planning it, studying it, etc. Which is another thing we can't really evaluate all that accurately.
Did you happen to see my post above? Ty Simpson is most possibly one!
Think we need to wait and see who declares to answer that.
Two personal favorites of those I've looked at are Mateer and Leavitt, though neither may declare and Mateer I keep hearing will return, but he reminds me of a less stupid Mayfield. Leavitt is really talented to my eye at least and in fact has hit the portal so is probably a 2027 draft QB.
Like most here I was really high on Simpson early this season, he felt like a dude who got overlooked. Now I'm thinking maybe there was a reason he sat on that bench. Also QBs with short sample size don't usually do well in the NFL, though the Rams seem to offer a redshirt and time to learn and grow.
There's a lot of QBs on the shorter end it feels like. So weigh ins and practices (Senior Bowl, combine etc) should be illuminating.
We'll have to wait and see what Chambliss does. But if he does declare, I'll take a long look at him. Despite his uneven performance against Miami, I've been impressed with him this year. I don't like Lane Kiffin's system for NFL development purposes, but Chambliss would have an opportunity to sit and learn here.
Chambliss appeal was denied so he’s gonna be in the draft for sure
Not sure he lasts to the 2nd half of the 1st round let alone late
Might be what it takes. Draft is a ways away we'll see what the Rams do always fun guessing until then .
Which I heard is a big possibility as he had already hired a firm for that purpose. If I'm him, I'd likely come out. Going to likely be a lot of QB competition in next years draft, of which there is very little this year.
