Simpson's inexperience (15 college starts) limits his backup value.

Simpson is the Rams' backup QB as a rookie out of Alabama; one oddsmaker rated him at zero value, and several expressed concern about his ability to step in if Stafford was injured. Simpson only started 15 college games at Alabama, and one NFL risk manager noted the major odds swing from a Hall of Fame QB to an unproven rookie.
