The Rams are looking for a new backup quarterback this season.

NFL Preseason Blitz: Rams rookie QB Ty Simpson plays well again, but seems well behind Stetson Bennett IV

Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson showcased solid play during the preseason, with impressive statistics against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, despite his strong performance, it appears he will not be Matthew Stafford's primary backup for the upcoming season. Instead, the Rams are reportedly considering Stetson Bennett IV, who had a remarkable game in the Saturday match against the New Orleans Saints.

Bennett played well, running for two touchdowns and having a strong passing performance in the second half. His efficiency and production have likely solidified his position as the Rams' third-string quarterback to start the season. Simpson had an opportunity to showcase his skills but seemed limited due to the Rams' overall offensive success in the game.
