Random Ramsdom: Ty Simpson pick will be talked about again and again

Former exec says Rams QB succession plan could be ‘tough to manage’ (ramswire)

“”Matthew Stafford will sit in quarterback meetings every day of the season next to his replacement,” Brandt said. “Brett wasn’t thrilled about that, I’m sure Aaron wasn’t thrilled about that, and I don’t think Matthew’s thrilled about that. Of course he’ll put on a great face and Ty Simpson will say all the right things, but it’s tough to manage. I’ve been there. You’re managing egos and insecurity, and you’re managing a true superstar in Matthew Stafford.”

“Meanwhile, the Cardinals held picks at 3, 34, and 65. Had LA not selected Simpson at 13, the Cardinals were almost certainly going to at 34. How do we know? After missing out on Simpson to the Rams. Arizona stepped up to the podium to select quarterback Carson Beck at 65. To many NFL experts, the talent level after Ty Simpson fell off a cliff. That’s why the Cards were comfortable selecting him in Round 3. Projected to fall to Day 3, Beck was simply the best quarterback available to a team that needs help at the position.“
