Simpson Shines But Questions Linger | NFL News

Ty Simpson made his mark in his first real preseason test, throwing for 190 yards and two touchdowns on 21-of-25 passing against the Chiefs — a solid showing that signals he’s ready to challenge for the backup QB role behind Matthew Stafford. Coached by elite minds like Sean McVay and Nick Saban, Simpson showed poise, quick decision-making, and a strong grasp of the game. But while his stats were impressive, some feel he’s missing that elite “wow” factor that top QB prospects often bring — his release is crisp, but the excitement factor hasn’t quite hit the ceiling. Rams coaches were pleased, calling his play reading and execution strong, and expect more reps as he continues to develop. Still, with receiver needs looming and potential injuries on the horizon, questions remain about whether the team made the right move drafting him so high — especially if he’s not immediately in the game.
