The reigning MVP is still on this team and even if he's not 'best player in the NFL' good in 2026, it's more than fair to assume he'll still be good enough to lead the Rams to Super Bowl contention.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Stafford's MVP-caliber play keeps him as the Rams' starter; Simpson waits in succession.

Matthew Stafford, the reigning MVP, remains the Rams' starting quarterback and is expected to lead the team to Super Bowl contention in 2026 even if he's not at his 'best player in the NFL' level. Stafford's continued presence and performance provide context for Simpson's role as a long-term successor; Simpson's best-case scenario includes riding the bench for multiple seasons while Stafford remains the starter.
