I’m so confused as to what this even means.
Whether splashy or boring, give me a good starting QB.
Who’s our next qb?

The opportunity cost of taking Simpson at three is way to high.
And do you really expect your QBOTF to be a guy still on the board at 34?

Smushdown! Take it like a fan!
It doesn’t make sense to cut km - I don’t get it - emotional response ? He hurt again, cards agreed to contract - pay lion share of salary cap - and don’t have a replacement ?
Shiver me timbers
Maybe punter tom tupa can come out of retirement-to be cards qb again - or max hall or then never ending circus we have witnessed.
Why did we ditch km? Ditch the franchise ?

Ha! Certainly not in year one. With proper development? Could do, could do.Do you really think Allar could lead an NFL team to a superbowl?

No you aren't. You know very well I don't think Simpson's going to be a good starting QB. Same goes for Willis.

You said they would be “splash names”. Again, what in the hell does that even mean?

Lots of NFL and draft writer speculation (and to be clear, it doesnt sound like informed speculation) on the Cards trading back into the lower part of round 1 to take Simpson
in some ways, this would be a Monti job extension move --
since Simpson is in no way ready, it means a year of Jacoby or Jimmy G and the record to match
going into a year with (presumably) a great QB class coming out, its highly likely Cards wouldnt know what they had in Simpson.
Yet, after a burning a 1st rounder on him (plus whatever else was used to move up) -- they would be married to him for at least another year to see him start in 17 games
so Monti probably is safe for another 2 years (five year rebuild!)

Everything about Jacoby’s recent history shows that. He can’t hold down a job with real alternatives behind him.
Ty Simpson would be starting by Week 10. Probably earlier.

Willis is the name this FA every is chasing at QB. I don't think he's the next Darnold so I say no thank you. Simpson is the guy with warts (few starts) who people are overprojecting and drooling over after the combine. Drafting him high would be a splash. No thanks.

To be fair Simpson was projected as a first rounder before the combine by most, his combine just solidified that. I wouldn’t take him at 3 but it seems lots of scouts think he has NFL starting talent.

Don't you think if we sign Willis it will be because of Matt L. endorsement, at least in part?
Simpson has been getting love well before the combine, lazy take on your part. He was told he is a round one talent by NFL GMs so that helped him decide to declare for this draft.
I'm not pimping either one, I'll leave that decision to the "experts". Just saying if MLF and Monti want one of them then I'm saying heck yes. If their choice works out then we will all be happy. If not, we'll we get to start over with a new FO sooner than later.

I'd go Simpson instead of Willis. I like Baker but it's time to start making moves to get a quarterback and Simpson might not last past the top 10. Willis reminds me of Murray a bit. The second quarterback never lasts until 20 or 32 in a draft like this. That might be enough for some to say Flacco or Brissett or Willis. It depends on many things. The Cards just watch while the Rams, Seahawks, and 49ers make all these moves to get better. Rams got Adams, now McDuffie. The Cards better get busy. Probably no point anyways; they'll probably suck like usual.

Thinking that signing a failed 3rd round pick is a splash move tells you what you need to know about the Cardinals.

Haha, indeed.
I see him less as a failure and more like a project that took as long to develop as people expected him to pre-draft. Willis is Anthony Richardson except there wasn't any team stupid enough top take him top 10 that year. He was an elite traits guy that didn't have it all mentally or mechanically.
Him having those few Packers games where he was elite as a passer is extremely exciting. Sure it might be overly optimistic to expect that to hold up over the course of a season, but if it does he has top 10 QB upside. Elite arm talent, and just as electric a runner as Kyler, but without Kyler's issues staying in the pocket.
The stain of him having once been a backup isn't an issue to me.

Ironically the same team has Aaron Rodgers sit behind Favre before getting his opportunity.
Then Love sat behind Rodgers for a couple of years.
Both those guys turned out pretty good.
Could Willis have benefited from the same situation?
If Willis comes here it will be with high recommendation from Matt Lafleur. I highly doubt he would mislead his younger brother.

If this happens I will look forward to seeing how it works out. Way more so than Geno Smith or Joe Flacco.
If he flames out , oh well. At least you can say we swung for the fences.
One thing is an absolute certain. No matter who is chosen to be our qb, half this site is going to be pissed off.

Malik Willis has zero elite traits.

Rodgers was a first round pick that was drafted by the Packers.
Love was a first round pick that was drafted by the Packers.
Willis was a 3rd round pick by the Titans who gave up on him despite still needing a franchise QB.
The situations are not the same.
Every analyst in football disagrees with you. His arm talent isn't debatable.
