Turf Show Times on Ty Simpson
From the article
Instead the Rams chose to ride with rookie quarterback Ty Simpson in his place. Rookie Ty Simpson and fourth-year vet Stetson Bennett have both performed well for the Rams this preseason, with Bennett sitting out Thursday's game against the Chargers. The decision to sit Bennett on Thursday, coupled with the 62 snaps he saw in the preseason to Simpson's 111, could be a signal as to which way McVay is leaning at this point.
STACKED’s take
Simpson got more preseason snaps (111) than Bennett; started finale but McVay undecided.
Rookie quarterback Ty Simpson received the start in the Rams' preseason finale against the Chargers and accumulated 111 snaps across the preseason compared to Stetson Bennett's 62 snaps. Simpson has performed well in the preseason, though McVay stated he won't "pigeon-hole" himself into any decision yet regarding the backup quarterback role. The snap count disparity and Simpson's starting role in Week 3 could signal McVay is leaning toward Simpson, but the head coach cautioned against reading too much into preseason playing time. Simpson faces pressure from media narratives about the Rams potentially wasting a draft pick on him, but has shown mental toughness in handling the situation.
