STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Simpson's 32% play-action usage early gave way to traditional drops; 87.5% adjusted completion rate.

Simpson used play action on eight of 25 dropbacks (32%), mostly early in his appearance as a tool to help the rookie settle in. On play action throws, Simpson had an ADOT of 6.6 yards with an adjusted completion rate of 87.5%. The Rams removed the crutch later in the game and leaned into traditional drop-back passing, with Simpson looking comfortable hanging in the pocket to push the ball down the field, demonstrating the play action was a developmental aid rather than a dependency.
