  "account": "Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson may not assume the starting role from Matthew Stafford for the coming season, according to NFL analyst Dan Graziano. Stafford, who has just been named the MVP, is currently in peak form and is highly likely to return for another season. Graziano predicts that Simpson will receive two full years of training before potentially taking over the position in 2027. The Rams are currently in a strong position with the addition of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett and the potential acquisition of Aaron Donald. While both scenarios - a successful season and a less successful one - suggest that Stafford will continue to play, Simpson is advised to remain patient on the bench.",
