I have posted that same information since the day the Rams signed him as an UDRFA from Vanderbilt. Great size and can run block, but the only thing he does well as a pass blocker is improve his QB's ability to escape the pocket.

Some real solid blocking and physicality on display here.
If you ask McSnead about Simpson's progress, they would probably say he is right where we expected him to be. All the doubt from us fans and the media makes it look like he is ahead of schedule.
If you look at it as the Rams new exactly what they had in Simpson and Bennett, and why wouldn't they, you might just see that their plan is going exactly as planned. Bennett will be QB2 this season and Simpson will learn from the bench from Stafford and a great staff. The only way Simpson takes over at QB2 is if Stafford goes down and he is backing up Bennett.
Believe what you want. Believe you have seen all you need to see and you are convinced that Ty, right now is better, knows more than Bennett and we should trade Bennett cause we don't need him anymore. If this was truly a competition for QB2 there would have been more effort to have them run the same plays against and with the same talent. But you haven't seen that. The only place that takes place is in practice and that didn't even happen there.
Spider is correct. What we see on tv is a comparison of apples and oranges. Ty will probably be better in the long run, but not yet.

The Rams didn't allow any sacks and had no turnovers. wow
I might add, this "non-competition" between Bennett and Simpson had nothing to do with Ty Simpson, and only to do with Stetson Bennett.
He will get claimed. Don't be surprised if one of our TE's end up in Philly. They are in desperate need of TE depth. So if one of our cuts makes it that far in the waiver list, I could see one in Philly.
I don't understand. They want Simpson to have a redshirt year. How does it have nothing to do with Simpson.
This angle shows his mojo after the TD. Love it.

Apples & oranges? Yeah, if you think one is better than the other than I agree that Simpson is better than Bennett and I don’t think it's that close.
Unless you think a 5-11" 190 lb QB is going to be running for touchdowns against real NFL starting defenses.

Both Stetson and Simpson were turnover free during the Preseason.

We are in a fortunate position with two QB2’s on the roster. I am keen to keep both and have them alternate in practice. Dress both if they need to
Really digging the vibe with this thread. It just feels great.
I have watched other teams pre-season games and this weeks have been so much fun. Many thoughts on that alone.
A few humble thoughts, If I was to take a curious soul who wanted to see if they were interested in this NFL stuff, this week could have been the hook.
So much passion from too many gladiators that will be looking for other careers early next week. After a lifelong passion of work, dreams will be broken. What may be sad is truly an opportunity to share this pride in their awesome life story. Who of us wouldn't love to have had that opportunity?
I so love this game.
GO RAMS!!!

I was talking about last year since the video touted Bennett's play over the last 2 preseasons.
Couldn't hear what personnel guy said it, but I just heard an NFL media person claim that a GM told him that these next few days is not about having the 53 best players, but forming the best team. Interesting.
If one player is playing against 1s and 2s and the other is playing against some 2s but mostly the bottom half of a roster then yes it is apples and oranges. Plus one is getting reps with the 1s in practice and the other isn't, then you can't say you know the whole story. Lets also mix in the fact that the offense is difficult to pick up in one offseason.
Hopefully it is all a moot point. Stafford stays healthy, Simpson has his red shirt year and the Rams can let Bennett go elsewhere next offseason.
My point exactly. The only competition part of Bennett/Simpson as it relates to who gets QB2 was Bennett competing with himself. All he needed was to show improvement from last year to nab the spot, regardless of what Ty did.
Basically, the "competition" here was Stetson trying to keep the Rams from Jimmy G. Ty had little to do with this.
I DID think Dinucci exaggerated Ty's timeline here (QB1 next year) but I totally get the sentiment.

I know how the practice reps work.
There is also film time etc.
I still think he will be promoted, maybe not.
Best case is....we don't have to worry about it.
