From the article
Simpson completed 18 of 23 passes (78%) for 119 yards and an impressive touchdown throw on the run. He finishes the preseason 47 of 60 (78%) for 382 yards, three scores, zero turnovers, and a passer rating of 109.9... Simpson seems ready to backup Matthew Stafford.
STACKED’s take
Simpson's 109.9 preseason passer rating and mistake-free play secure his backup QB role.
Simpson improved his average depth of target (ADOT) from 4.80 yards in the first two preseason games to 6.1 yards against the Chargers, still ranking last among rookie QBs. He completed 18 of 23 passes (78%) for 119 yards with an impressive touchdown throw on the run. Over the full preseason, Simpson finished 47 of 60 (78%) for 382 yards, three scores, zero turnovers, and a passer rating of 109.9. The source notes Simpson demonstrated short and intermediate accuracy, value-add mobility, ability to throw on the run, sack avoidance, and poised composure, establishing himself as a high-floor player with limited mistakes. Simpson made as convincing a case as reasonably expected to be Matthew Stafford's backup, though questions remain about his ceiling and ability to sustain efficiency when required to be more aggressive downfield.
