He's too small to ever be a starter.. end of story. Grit is nice and all, but Simpson is the future and maybe the present in a few months if needed.

Ty measured barely an inch taller than Stetson at the combine. And he was more impressive throwing the ball the last two preseasons than Ty was this year. I agree Ty is the future, but I just don’t think he has any real shot at seeing the field this year.

Also you don’t choose your backup QB based on starter potential down the road. It’s based off who is able to have a better command of the playbook with limited reps in practice *now*. Of course Ty has a higher ceiling than Stetson. But that’s a totally separate question from “who does McVay trust right now?”.

One out of five isn't a good percentage. But you're right, he's an anomaly in that group.
 
Peterson made a name for himself

Will he get plucked from practice squad?

Connor’s flashed again.

Lanpkin made plays but wonder if he can play at this level.

Simpson talent (processing, accuracy) is clearly superior to Bennett.

Simpson has been seriously impressive for a rookie and has outplayed several veteran QBs in the preseason.

Simpson looks good. Looks like someone who will grow into a starter.

Bailey barely played… if he wasn’t dinged up, that’s significant news.

Connors looks good.. the biggest flash I saw was the way he ran a pass route and caught the ball. That looked VERY good. But I don’t know if he showed enough as a runner. We’ll see.

Fair points

I will pick you up on one thing. Ty is a much bigger unit than Stetson. Watch when they switch at the podium. One looks like an NFL QB the other looks like a High School QB with a great moustache :-)

Minute 17:08

I realize Simpson isn't ready and needs more time but we're fucked if Bennett has to play. Talk about defenses game planning for Simpson, same goes for Bennett.

Ty 6-1" 211, 23 yrs old
Stetson 5-11" 192, 28 yrs old

Weight and frame is the issue. Simpson has 20 lbs on him. If Stetson was 206 lbs like Russell Wilson, with a bigger frame, then not as big an issue. However he is very small in size overall. And being 28, almost 29 in 2 months, he is not getting bigger. Simpson will probably put on another 7- 8 lbs of muscle as he matures. So there is a big difference.

A more physical Danny Woodhead is what I see.

Worth noting that the Jets didn't retain Woodhead on their regular roster any of his first 3 years in the NFL. He cleared waivers his 2nd year and landed on PS. The Jets pulled him up from PS in the middle of that season due to injuries to other players. The Patriots got him after the Jets waived him his 3rd NFL season and it was only with the Pats that he was able to break out and find regular playing time.

Woodhead was a crazy athlete. He had mid-4.3 second type speed and was very elusive. He was such a good receiver that he was as much a hybrid WR as he was a RB.
 
After watching all plays from last night just now, (game started for me 10PM Eastern on a work night, = FUCK, THAT) I'm thinking Ty is showing well above average speed, quickness, escapabilty, scrambling for positive yardage, and his throwing on the run is superb. I'm pretty sure Sean is conjuring a game plan for 2-3 years down the road based on us FINALLY having a "mobile" at QB.

All signs pointing to Ty being a damn good QB in this League. We are right on schedule.

Good game for the boys whose Owner owns the stadium and owns Dean "Pattycake" Spanos too. Anyway some quick notes.

  1. Ty Simpson made a play that few Quarterbacks can make. RT Bryce Henderson proved he cannot pass block in the NFL either and Simpson darted when Henderson whiffed on his guy and then threw an absolute seed to Brennan Presley for six. Stafford does not make that play, half the QB's in the NFL cannot make that play, just an amazing athlete with moxie and guile.
  2. Dean Connors, he better make the team on his ability to catch the football alone. Connors ran well too plus very good in pass protection. I believe he truly was a nice fine for the Rams and is why Hunter is now in south beach.
  3. Brennan Presley, I love this kid and I don't understand why another team would not take shot with him. He can return punts too, but the WR room is too deep especially with the addition of Atwell.
  4. Bryce Henderson was not very good and thank goodness he will be cut and I would not bring him back, but because of his size 6'8, they might on the PS.
  5. Tanner Ingle, IMO, time to say goodbye. He was beaten badly on the first Charger TD and missed many tackles too.
  6. Darryl Peterson III, should have had 3 sacks, but made a case for the practice squad and ended the game with a win for Los Angeles Rams.

I believe Ty is showing elite elusiveness skills. Excellent awareness, decisiveness, more than good enough arm. Keep on "slow cookin'" him.........

The Rams have not had a QB that could make that type of play since James Harris. Warner did not have that type of elusiveness and Sam Bradford although athletic, could not move like that. Before @Loyal brings up Patrick Capper Haden, everyone knows, Haden did not have that type of arm.

So James Harris and Roman Gabriel other than that, enjoy Ty Simpson because that play was special Gentlemen, very special.

We NEVER have a mobile FQ. Since Harris, who was extremely short-lived:

Haden
Ferragamo
Everett
Warner
Bulger
Bradford
Goff
Stafford

The Simpson era will be different, and dare I say, re-freshing?

This is no knock on Stafford, who is the greatest QB in our History, Current Top 3 in League, and can stay as long as he DAMN WELL pleases. See you in 2029 Ty, if need be, but I believe we DO have our next Franchise Quarterback waiting in the wings.

I would think he would look just as good if not better playing behind our starting offensive line with Williams running the ball and our two starting wide receiver studs.

Maybe but we have seen preseason star QBs league wide before that never looked that good again. As confuse the hell out of them.
