Scott is on the clock. We'll get to that in a second. But Vlad, how do you feel about Corbin Carroll coming back from this ham, a bone injury? Good news that he's back. We still have to make sure he's right and the power is there. But do you think he deserves to climb back into the first round now that he's back in spring training? Yeah, this is where he's going to be going now, now that he's back and so soon and so long as there are no issues. And I don't think he's going to be smashing home runs. Obviously, that will bring him right back into the first round immediately. But he fell to 15, 20, …” View more

“… of offense where he doesn't have to play. He gets time to develop physically. He gets to learn from one of the best to ever do it. But in terms of Sean McVay, that's one less player you've got to help you win right now, barring some type of an injury that could thrust Ty Simpson into action sooner than expected. Yeah, I talked to Louis Riddick. This felt like Les Snead is going to be there longer than Sean McVay. I want to make sure that I have my quarterback of the future, not Sean McVay's.” “… don't win, you could be fired. You could have, you know, the team could go completely sideways. The plan could change. You know, Matthew Snaver will be the guy this year. Ty Simpson's in the absolute best-case scenario for him, going into that style of offense where he doesn't have to play. He gets time to develop physically. He gets to learn from one of the best to ever do it.

Ridealong summary
The Rams' GM Les Snead shocked many by selecting Ty Simpson at the 13th pick, prioritizing a long-term quarterback solution over immediate needs. This decision stemmed from Snead's commitment to Simpson, who faced a pivotal choice between NFL entry or a $6.5 million transfer to Miami. While Snead is set on the future, questions arise about head coach Sean McVay's alignment with this strategy, especially with a championship window closing fast.

“Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that. Can you make that a little more concrete Sean Because I think this speaks to an interesting tradeoff The thing that first jumped in my head was do I need to write a workload to test my workloads before I get to testing my system And then I was trying to figure out how many turtles I needed to go down in order to figure out how I could make my way back up.

Whereas with a workload, it's a touch removed. It's a touch more abstract. And for example, I doubt you probably advocate for creating like retries and durable execution and all kinds of other things in the workload because they're supposed to be simple, at least as I heard …” View more
