Colin Cowherd argues that the Rams' decision to draft quarterback Ty Simpson was a calculated, long-term strategy, not a reaction to Matt Stafford's performance. He asserts that coach Sean McVey, deeply involved in all organizational decisions, would have been fully aware of and involved in the Stafford contract situation and the plan to bring in a successor. This move reflects a common practice in successful organizations to prepare for future transitions.
