Jared Verse backs Ty Simpson pick as ‘perfect situation’

“He can run the ball, get through all that good stuff that all these quarterbacks in the league usually can do. The way he’s accurate, the way he’s able to have confidence in the throws he makes, the things that he does — he’s confident in his abilities. That’s just a credit to the hard work that he puts in.” Verse is correct in that Simpson is in the perfect spot because he will learn a lot from McVay. Now, McVay hasn’t exactly developed a young quarterback from scratch. He’s instead fixed some QBs as a reclamation project, most notably a second-year and in his brief stint with L.A. This is somewhat uncharted territory for the Rams coach, yet don’t think he’ll be ill-equipped for this new challenge. Both McVay and Simpson possess incredible football IQs and recall, so something tells me that they’ll get along just fine. Stafford, meanwhile, has never been in the position of being a “lame duck” quarterback. Meaning, this is the first time an organization he’s been a part of has drafted his successor and put a timer on the rest of his time with the team. Well, you play long enough, and eventually that’s going to happen, even if Stafford’s coming off the best season of his career. Even then, the veteran will ultimately prove to be a positive role model and teacher for the first-year QB, as he’s never been one to cause drama in his NFL career.
