  "account": "The Los Angeles Rams are still undecided on who the second-string quarterback will be for the upcoming season, between Ty Simpson and Stetson Bennett. Both players have been competing for the position behind starter Matthew Stafford during the offseason, and after three preseason games, head coach Sean McVay has not yet made a decision. The team will keep all three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, but McVay has not yet committed to a No. 2 quarterback. He expressed his confidence in both Simpson and Bennett during a post-game interview following their win against the Chargers. McVay stated that he feels really good about both players and that he will make the decision after giving it more thought. He also mentioned that he wouldn't read too much into any specific approach in practice, as he doesn't have to decide until shortly before the team's kick-off game against the 49ers on September 10. Both Simpson and Bennett played well in the preseason, committing zero turnovers and winning all three games. They both looked comfortable in McVay's offense, which is a positive sign for the Rams' future at the quarterback position.",
