Turf Show Times on Ty Simpson
From the article
Simpson will, fair or not, be compared to his fellow rookie QBs following Saturday's game. The NFL media and fans love to jump to conclusions immediately after one game. And you can expect that the Simpson bust talk, or questioning the Rams' judgment for taking him, will occur should he struggle in Kansas City. TST's JB Scott noted that Stetson Bennett will likely have a superior supporting cast when he starts against the Chiefs Saturday. By the time Simpson takes the field, he'll be playing with guys who, to put it kindly, aren't the cream of the crop. So already, he's being put at a disadvantage before ever taking the field. Due to his first round draft status, you can expect the pressure to be greater for Simpson this weekend compared to his fellow rookie quarterbacks.
STACKED’s take
Simpson faces elevated pressure from strong rookie QB performances and inferior supporting cast.
Rams rookie QB Ty Simpson faces mounting pressure before his expected NFL debut Saturday against Kansas City; fellow rookie QBs Carson Beck, Fernando Mendoza, and Drew Allar have all impressed in preseason, setting a high bar for comparison. The source notes Simpson will be scrutinized more than his draft class peers due to his first-round status, and he faces a disadvantage with an inferior supporting cast compared to Stetson Bennett, who starts for the Rams against the Chiefs the same day. The source warns that Simpson bust talk and questioning of the Rams' draft judgment will likely occur if he struggles, as social media is quick to jump to conclusions after one game.
