Ty Simpson or Joe Burrow? Eisen eyes Stafford successor

Let them draft and groom the next one. Or, the next one is sitting and stewing in a spot where he’s sick and tired of being after it all said and done.“ What’s more likely? Drafting Simpson. The Rams still won’t be drafting Simpson. Not in the first round. Eisen notes, unsurprisingly, that Simpson would of course love to go to Los Angeles and sit behind an MVP quarterback for a year or two. “It would be great for Ty Simpson to go sit in Los Angeles, watch Matthew Stafford up close, get in Sean McVay’s offense, and marinate, and then when he’s ready, takes over for Matthew Stafford and has a career. That is a dream scenario. If I’m Simpson’s family, if I’m Simpson’s agent, if I’m Ty Simpson, that’s exactly what I would want 100%. Because being a quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams in McVay’s world with Les Snead creating all the necessary parts and a roster for you. That is it. Yeah, that’s it.” Sure, any quarterback would like to be in a great situation. Especially a better one that Fernando Mendoza is about to land in with the Las Vegas Raiders. But no matter how hard others try to hype him up, few are willing to go out on a limb for Simpson as a first round pick. He might be smart, he might have had a bad offensive line in college, but Simpson’s resume still lacks the polish to be the 13th pick and then L.A. doesn’t have another selection until the end of the first round. Meanwhile, the Bengals will not be in a hurry to trade Burrow. That’s just offseason content filler for the NFL. He’s not being traded. He’s also not being traded to the Rams while they have Matthew Stafford. And Stafford isn’t being traded to the Bengals. So yeah, what’s more likely: This debate has any legs or Rich Eisen didn’t have anything real to talk about?
