STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Simpson's gifted arm keeps him in QB2 competition despite Bennett's Week 2 edge.

Simpson impressed in Week 1 of preseason and remains in contention for the QB2 role behind Matthew Stafford; while he is considered the more gifted quarterback compared to Stetson Bennett, Bennett's Week 2 performance showed better offensive operation, leaving the backup decision undecided.
