Reports came out earlier this week that a quarterback battle is ensuing between Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson.Nate Atkins of The Athletic reported on the quarterback battle between the two.”Neither Bennett nor Simpson were able to stand out ahead of the other in these moments, as both worked on crossers, slants, outs, and other basic routes, and neither produced much down the field,” Atkins reported, which led some to question if Simpson was actually developing as a QB.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut is it time to hit the panic button on Ty Simpson? No. He’s a rookie who is getting his first taste of the NFL, and this was his first training camp, so of course, he is going to struggle his first time out, probably.If anything, it should be a good sign that he is competitive with Bennett, who has been on the team longer and is more familiar with the Rams’ playbook. That has to please head coach Sean McVay.Look, Simpson is the quarterback of the future, not the quarterback for the 2026 season. The whole reason the Rams drafted him was to develop him; they didn’t say or expect him to get there overnight.If the Rams don’t seem concerned about Simpson early on, that should be a good sign that he is right where they expected him to be in his development.This article originally appeared on Touchdown Wire: Rams backup QB battle has some worried about Ty Simpson’s development Read More Feedzy
