Turf Show Times on Ty Simpson
From the article
QBs with 15 or fewer college starts who went 1st round over the last decade. It's not a disqualifier, but still tough. Anthony Richardson, Mitchell Trubisky, Dwayne Haskins... Does history indicate it's likely? Far from it.
STACKED’s take
Simpson's limited college experience mirrors failed first-round QB projects; low preseason expectations justified.
Simpson is a project quarterback with limited college starting experience—only one season as a starter at Alabama after three years without attempting 30 combined passes. Historical data on first-round QBs with 15 or fewer college starts over the last decade (Anthony Richardson, Mitchell Trubisky, Dwayne Haskins) shows poor outcomes, though the source notes it's not a disqualifier. The source explicitly states that history does not indicate Simpson is likely to produce incredible things right away, and realistic preseason expectations should be fairly low: operate cleanly within the offense, stay healthy, don't embarrass yourself. The best-case scenario includes him riding the bench for multiple seasons while Matthew Stafford remains the Rams' starter.
