I don't think his supporters are affording enough weight to lack of games. If he played two seasons and had a good body of work, the circumstances excuses could be effective, depending on how the extra year went. I think posters being asked to forgive his bad play/games due to circumstances is completely undermined by his lack of games.
I don’t think we are getting Simpson anyway…no way we take him at 3 and he will be long gone by pick 34 ….probably be a jet or steeler ….my guess is what nfl.com had for us this morning…maugoa…then tj Parker…then nuss…I would take that draft right now
Jake was an elite athlete.
I tried to do the multi-quote function but failed. Anyway you had several posts in the "who is our next qb" thread. A couple of them stated things that sorta confirms what I posted. At one point you did say that Ty at #3 is to big a risk.
I like Nussmeier but I’m not sure he develops betond a backup QB. I’m not hearing the Cards are showing interest.
Agreed. Which means they're totally going to do it.
Oh, I do mean that.
If they truly think that Simpson is their savior, they absolutely should not try to outsmart everyone else. They should take him as soon as they can. A franchise quarterback is worth much, much more than any other player they can get at #3. I just doubt that they are so convinced.
Jake was my favorite player. In fact, back in the late 90’s when I walked around Flagstaff Training Camp wearing my #16 Plummer jersey, many would ask me if Jake and I were brothers. I don’t know if I would call Jake an elite athlete. He ran in the high 4.9’s in the 40. He was incredibly slippery, but had incredible calmness in game winning situations. That is what I see in Simpson, but I could be wrong.
Game winning situations and Simpson have nothing in common.
Are you hearing anything about Allar and the Cards?
No
I don't disagree..which is why you take him later.
If by 3rd round, I agree, that would be a great time to take a flyer on him. If they take him in the 2nd, or gods forbid trade back into the 1st/trade down in the 1st to take him, you can kiss the idea of drafting a QB next year goodbye, even if we suck. This is the cards. They're not bailing on a highly drafted QB after one year.
Hmmm Josh Rosen probably disagrees with this statement.
You see a repeat of that happening with Simpson, do you? I don't. Rosen wasn't supposed to be a developmental project; Simpson is. Plus this is Bidwill, M. we're talking about, and Monti. You think Bidwill, M. would let Monti select the next QB one year later? I don't. I also don't think Monti would do that. He's sing every tune he knows about patience and development because sticking with Simpson would get him another year or two in the job.
How about we call lunch and tell him to take pick 65 for Mac jones…..tell him “ we are going to sign him this time next year anyways “ “ might as well take a pick or get nothing”
The Mac Jones comparisons don’t even make sense. They just see white QB from Alabama & boom, that’s it.
I agree that the 2027 QB pool is getting way too much hype. Many thought that this 2026 QB class would be good and none of the "experts" even had Mendoza rated high. If the Cards see a QB they really like they should draft him now.
Mendoza never being under center, majority of his throws being RPO, and him not having to make as many full reads. Raise any questions with him?
Its not just rando's saying.
