And I'm not even talking about Matthew Stafford.

He's not even as good as the guy who they had to trade away to get Matthew Stafford.

It's very weird to me.

But I do think the thing I don't buy...

is that McVay was completely unawares of all this.

Unless the one caveat is, does GM Les Snead know or at least strongly suspect that Sean McVay is going to walk out the door when Stafford does?

And in which case, he's just trying to take care of the franchise the day after McVay and Stafford leave.

Either way, it makes some sense if you look at what the Packers did and started the whole tumult with the aforementioned Aaron Rodgers.

was drafting Jordan Love.

And so now the Rams have done that.

And if you think that this is going to cause the demise of the Rams, I refer you to the Packers, who after drafting Jordan Love, went to the NFC title game.

So it's not a death knell for the short term.

But to tie it all together, when Geno mentions, or the count, I guess, mentioned it, whatever, whoever that guy was.

It was me, Dave.

Whatever.

Okay.

He, I feel like,

that Sadiq or Lemon or somebody else obviously helps them much more right now than having a backup quarterback does.

I do think that there is a certain sobriety pigskin-wise to the long-term future of the franchise to get Ty Simpson.

Now the question is, once again, just like I said about Mike McCarthy's ability or not to do something with Drew Aller, can Sean McVay bring Ty Simpson along?
