Yahoo Sports NFL on Ty Simpson
From the article
The No. 13 overall pick was 21-of-25 passing for 190 yards and two touchdowns against the Chiefs, immediately turning what looked like Bennett's succession plan following Jimmy Garoppolo's departure into an actual competition for the backup job.
STACKED’s take
Simpson's strong Week 1 performance created backup QB competition, but Bennett's experience gives him the edge.
Simpson, the No. 13 overall pick, emerged as a legitimate competitor for the Rams backup QB role after Week 1 against Kansas City (21-of-25, 190 yards, 2 TDs), turning what appeared to be Bennett's succession plan into an actual competition. However, in Week 2 against the Saints, Simpson finished 8-of-12 for 73 yards in the second half and looked sharp despite limited opportunities due to the lopsided score and a defensive pick-six. The source indicates Simpson still has one more preseason game against the Chargers to prove himself, but Bennett's experience inside the offense gives him the advantage; Simpson acknowledged he has much to learn from Bennett and Stafford on how to dissect defenses.
