Wish the young man well. Hoping he gets 100% healthy and goes to a team that has an offensive line.

If he goes to the Raiders, he may as well have someone to go ahead and run over him with a bus and get it over with. 😛
Being projected as 3rd QB may help him some long term. Hopefully he can avoid the raiders and get to a decent team. Wish he was staying but hope he has a productive future ahead of him.

Yep, this was probably his best decision considering the injury issues. If he came back (or transferred) and got hurt again, especially if he had more back issues, his stock would take a hit in a year when the QB class would be stronger. Mendonza and Moore will almost certainly go 1 and 2 in whatever order, but both will be gone within the first few picks. And there is still the slight chance that Moore will return to the Ducks... his agent/advisors are letting him make the final call, but they've recommended that he go into the draft. If Simpson doesn't have any major medical red flags, he's in a good spot to be next in line, and some QB hungry team will probably take him sooner than expected. He'll get a Sr. Bowl invite now, but I'm not sure he will participate in practices since he's been banged up, but maybe.

I hadn't talked to anyone re: Simpson yet this week, I wasn't expecting a decision this quick... but I know based on previous conversations, this was a tough call for him and his team. Just a few weeks ago he was leaning very heavily to staying to the point that it was pretty much the plan at the time.
