I absolutely loved what I saw from Ty this pre-season. Ran thru progressions, looked confident in his throws and despite having good wheels he didnt look to take off every time the pay broke down
Sure he was completing high % throws, which is the expectation. My frustration with Bennett was after all his time in the system, he was still missing these no brainer throws

Simpson, I would say, is pretty far ahead of schedule.
Bennett has progressed for sure and will be QB2, but, I am willing to bet Simpson takes that #2 spot by mid season.
That TD pass was fantastic.
He has looked good and under control....the offense on time....no delay of game, very few false starts....all preseason with Simpson in the huddle.
He has been very impressive.
The other really impressive group to me through the whole preseason, for a change, is the OL.
The pass blocking was excellent and run blocking good all preseason.
For years and years it was hard to even evaluate QBs, RBs and WRs in the Rams preseason because the OL play was so bad.
Hats off to the coaching staff.

These are throws from Stetson’s last two preseasons. And while I don’t agree with the caption that he would start for several teams, he’s clearly shown he’s much further along as a passer than Ty is right now. And it’s not like Ty is about to get a bunch of reps in practice to be able to close that gap.
As I’ve been saying, backup QB isn’t based on who is more talented or who has a higher ceiling 2-3 years down the road. It’s about who can come off the bench cold after not getting reps in practice for 6 weeks and keep the ship steady. It’s the same reason why Ronnie Rivers will be RB3 over Dean Connors.

As Kubiak alludes to here, that’s not how NFL practices work. Once the season starts, Stafford will be getting nearly 100% of the practice reps. There aren’t these extended practice periods where the second and third team get work like you have in the preseason. Ty won’t get enough reps in practice to overtake Stetson. Ty’s only real chance to overtake Stetson would be for Stetson to get a chance during one of the games and completely shitting the bed.

Thats our QB2 right there. Unless there's an offer thats too good to pass up? Doubt it.
Now show the interceptions and turnover worthy plays

Just watched a Warner vid that was pointing out some of the positives
from each QB . I just realized that about his college history 5min ago, and then again
reading your post. Your right it's something Doza has not been ask to do.
In the gun you're seeing the Def from the beginning going from that to turning
your back and then turn around bam , there's the Def. Requires quicker reads
and decisions.
here's the Warner vid if you're interested. Appreciate you post

I've seen enough of Ty to say Bennett can pack his bags unless the Rams hold 3 QBs. Simpson play is that of a guy that is mature beyond his years. He has a good arm, know's how to escape the pocket, and most of all makes good decisions. Sitting behind Stafford is only gonna help him be better.
Turnovers happen when you consistently push the ball downfield. Compare Stetson’s 2025 preseason with Ty’s this year.
Bennett 2025: 44/64 512 yards 5 TDs 2 INTs
Simpson 2026: 47/60 380 yards 3 TDs, 0 INTs
McVay already said the team is keeping 3 QBs which tells you all you need to know.
And the coaching staff didn’t even give him an opportunity to make bad decisions. 95% of his attempts were boots and quick game. Very elementary stuff. Bennett threw the ball downfield more on a single 2 minute drill than Simpson did the entire preseason.
People are conflating “potential” and “talent” with “who is more ready to run McVay’s offense vs first team defenses?”. Those are two completely different questions. And the latter is how you decide who plays backup QB.

So we're comparing a 28 year old in their 3rd pro season to a 23 year old rookie?

If we had just seen a bit more evidence of Ty pushing the ball down the field (and doing it well) I'd say throw Bennett over for him but I'm inclined to have Rams stick with plan of Bennett as backup this year.
Ty's showed some great glimpses of what he can be, a point guard with + mobility but I think having played so few games in college he needs to marinate for a bit in an NFL ecosystem.
Excited to see more from him - next season!

When they are competing for the same position? Yes. That’s how it works. Rookies come into the league competing against more experienced players every single year. We don’t get to use a Time Machine and compare 2028 Ty with 2026 Stetson.
And again, backup QB for this team is different. If the roster was weaker and Stafford was retired, you’d 1000% kick Bennett to the curb for Ty and let him get that meaningful experience.
