Do many people think Ty Simpson is the Rams qb of the future?  Have to admit I only watched him play a couple of games last year, but he was not impressive at all.  

I think many people believe he will have about as good of an environment to grow into a being a good qb, while sitting behind Stafford for a year or 2 or 3 and being coached in the McVay system.

I never saw people give Simpson much credit. I really haven’t cared or looked at him. But I am going to go with McVay seeing what he is looking for and acting on it. And thinking he knows his stuff so let’s see in a year or two.

This is a how I recall it as well. It was one "this year" 2nd and two future 1sts. Very few are able to predict the future, but I feel you had to label those 1st as late 20s. The true blunder was what you stated, before you turn down that massive offer, its a 100% must you sign Burns cause that value is still elite QB level offer. As we know either happened and Dan was a first time GM needing to fix this blunder of blunders. He or the group made the choice about not giving BB 30 per, I get it since he had holes in his game. 

The issue here is the issue since 2018= tepper. Sometime either during the hiring process or with the two years, Im fairly certain trepper demanded a QB on the roster with a capable roster to compete. Fittererererererer job was on the line and he gassed up trepper into believing BY and the roster were ready to win..................... That roster of 2023 in hindsight was awful, I was wrong....... I thought even with a rookie BY they could have challenged for the NFC south, not a chance with that dogshit team and coaching staff.......whom I was also fooled about. Now you have the worst team 2-14 without 1st overall pick, DJ Moore, and no Brian Burns. 

I don't know what or why or ____ just the panthers and finding good WRs with long careers is just cursed. You got Smitty and moose, that's about it for 25 years until they drafted DJ Moore.....so 3 dudes in 26+ years AND you trade one for a QB whom needs a team that doesn't struggle to find WRs.........

Fittererererere was just like Morgan, he was a rookie GM and this team even back to 2020 just has failed at adding talent, young talent, or difference makers. Even look at the roster- Dbrown is about the only great player drafted in what feels like 10 years(horn struggles and tmac only 1 year)..... Treppers pressure is legend and him bringing in people with such little exp to fix the team was the main reason for 2 win 5 win seasons. He should have hired a old gray haired guy, but I know treppers ego would not allow someone else to have the answer. 

I've work with teppers type and still do...... Smart people observing them know "if its not their idea, they want nothing to do with cause weird human reasons" Doesnt matter if my idea can solve the issues with 24 hours and it 100% corrects the problem, nah his plan is for 3 weeks with different Appaloosa Strategies.......... I do think he finally took a few steps back and allowed Dan and Daves staff to learn on the job, he had no choice given the league refused his money. 

I don't understand why people think future 1sts are not worth much. 2 future 1sts from the Rams. With Stafford, those could be really late 1sts. If Stafford's back had gone south and he was put the season, that late 20s could have been an early teens. You just don't know.

But what is for certain is this team would have been in great position to find 2 late 1st rounders to fill needs of which we've had plenty. Talent always slips. Ironically, the Rams used their 2024 1st to select Verse who's already made the pro bowl. Not saying we would have, but it's highly possible since we needed a DE. 

It's also possible we could have used one of the Rams future 1sts as part of the package to trade up to 1 instead of giving up DJ and crippling the offense for whatever QB we ended up chasing. 

So much was done wrong because Fitterer was so far in over his head but Tepper wouldn't/couldn't see it.
