I'm not going to predict the future but I will say that Ty Simpson was definitely worthy of being a first-round draft pick and that's enough for me. I wanted antoher weapon for Matt Stafford but, as usual, Snead and McVay know more than I do.
I mean they are and that’s why Stetson will likely be QB2. He’s got a better grasp of the offense and it’s just more advanced as a passer at this point.
Also, I just want to be clear. I don’t feel great about neither one having any NFL game experience. With the potential of this team, I’d much rather Jimmy be there. But between Bennett and Simpson, I feel better about Bennett for the 2026 season. But I think Simpson has a bright future and there is a lot to be excited about.

Ty Simpson outplayed Bennett this year
This is a legit criticism. Ty is making good decisions, but he is not pushing the ball down the field. IMO, it's not because he can't; it's because the training wheels are still on.
I don’t think he did. He was asked to run a very elementary version of the offense where the coaching staff limited his potential for mistakes. Stetson’s 2 min drive vs NO alone was more impressive than anything Ty did all preseason.
That was mostly from the first two preseasons. The last two have been pretty good.
He had a couple bad passes this preseason out of 20 or so throws.
I don't want him as a backup but you guys are really harsh.

And this was a criticism of his all through camp with only a day or two where it was reported he tried cutting it loose. I think some of it's by design but some of it is on him.
Well...isn't that what you do...bring a guy along slowly??? You don't just dump the whole offense on the guy and expect him to run it flawlessly. He certainly could have made bad decisions but he didn't.
You let the guy handle the basics and progressively add more as you see he can handle it. Simpson shows he's ready for the next step.
What I'm seeing is not "potential". I'm seeing a kid that shows he's ready for the next step...and that doesn't even show what they're giving him in practice sessions and having Stafford to help him is gravy!

You don't really know what you're looking at till you get the all-22 baby!
Both guys way better than Wolford or Perkins as QB2.
I agree I would keep Connors, seems like he does all the things the Rams require from their RB's and has more juice than The Little River Band.
At this point, with Tu Tu back and all that, I would rather cut-trade Bennett vs losing-cutting Daniels or Conners. Simpson might not be quite ready but I have seen enough to know he can get the job done. Especially with our defense. We are going to be very tough to score on.
Simpson is going to be very good and I do not want to lose any young and promising talent for Bennett.

Thats false, the TD strike Ty threw was better than anything Stetson did.
0 TD passes
Simpson consistently threw to 2nd and 3rd options
He is/was the better QB
Alas...
Considering Bennett has been in this offense for 4 yrs to Simpson's 4 months, Simpson outplayed him badley.

OL'er Blaske preformance on the right side of the OL is far from how he plays on the LEFT.
RG Blaske block caused TY to depart from the pocket. Yes it resulted in a TD .....but I am sure that was not the plan.
RT Henderson can not pass block!
