From the article

The Los Angeles Rams drafted quarterback Ty Simpson based almost completely on his potential, not solely on what he can already do, so developing his mechanics over the next year was always part of the plan... mechanical issues stemming from his base and his footwork are just as apparent... He's relying on his arm talent and fading off his back foot, which isn't going to consistently generate the velocity or accuracy he'll need at the NFL level.

Simpson's footwork and base mechanics need refinement; arm talent evident but consistency concerns remain.

Simpson was drafted by the Rams based almost completely on his potential rather than what he can already do, with developing his mechanics over the next year always part of the plan. However, training camp footage reveals mechanical issues stemming from his base and footwork; he is relying on arm talent and fading off his back foot, which won't consistently generate the velocity or accuracy needed at the NFL level. The source notes Simpson should not see the field in 2026, though emphasizes 'should not' rather than 'definitely won't' because nobody can predict when that time will be necessary.
