There has been a lot of talk about rookie quarterback Ty Simpson's progress. When an article came out a few months ago about Simpson's progress during mini-camp, some worried that the LA Rams had made the wrong choice by selecting him in the first round of this year's draft.
But Rams head coach Sean McVay says that Simpson is right where he expected him to be and is pleased with the progress he is making so far.
"He's doing a great job," McVay said of Simpson, via the Rams' YouTube page. "I think the best thing is I think some of the leadership from our peers with Matthew [Stafford] pouring into that room with Ty, with Stetson [Bennett IV], with Matthew [Caldwell], that's a big deal. And Dave Ragone does a great job leading that room, having played the position, having the capacity and the understanding of what it looks like to do it at a high level consistently day after day. And so I think Ty's in a great situation to be around some great people to learn from."
Simpson worked with the second-team offense alongside Stetson Bennett, who received most of the reps, but don't let that fool you; McVay made it clear he hasn't decided who the backup toMatthew Stafford will be.
"I would say this. I don't want to pigeonhole myself into a one-size-fits-all approach," McVay said. "Stetson got the majority of those reps with the second group today, but Ty came in and did a nice job with the one set that he did have. We'll just kind of continue to evaluate, but being able to figure out what that looks like is important. I think both those guys have done a nice job, and obviously, having No. 9 out there, he looked pretty damn sharp, so it was good to have him."
So it seems as if the worry about how good Simpson is was put to rest not only by him but, most importantly, by his head coach.
