Rams remain undecided on No. 2 QB after preseason finale
Ty Simpson started at quarterback for the Rams on Thursday night and Stetson Bennett did not play, but head coach Sean McVay said after the game that those decisions had nothing to do with which of them will be the No. 2 quarterback to start the regular season.
In the Rams' preseason finale, Ty Simpson started at quarterback while Stetson Bennett did not play. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed following the game that these decisions had no bearing on the team's plans for the regular season's starting quarterback position. McVay revealed that the goal was to provide Simpson with more experience as he begins his rookie season, and that the Rams are not prepared to officially name either player as the primary backup to incumbent starter Matthew Stafford.
McVay emphasized the team's high regard for both quarterbacks, stating, "Obviously, we ve got the reigning MVP of the league, and then we got two guys that we feel really good about." McVay described the situation as simply feeling "really good" about both Bennett and Simpson, without committing to any particular decision. The Rams, who will face the 49ers in Australia in two weeks, are expected to announce a decision on their quarterback situation in the near future.
