Don’t let anyone tell you Ty Simpson is a bad quarterback
Mike Renner and Dan Orlovsky have touted Ty Simpson for weeks. Rams are in good hands after draft.
PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 01: QB Ty Simpson #15 of the Alabama Crimson Tide runs up field during the Alabama Crimson Tide versus Indiana Hoosiers College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl Game on January 1, 2026, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, CA.

Matthew Stafford is a beloved figure who hoisted the Lombardi Trophy at SoFi Stadium.
But nothing good lasts forever. Stafford is in the twilight of his career and the Rams are wise to prepare arguably too soon rather than be caught by surprise. The Rams are in good hands with Simpson, although admittedly this is far from a surefire selection.
The Alabama product has a less than desirable resume of starting experience. When he took over as the leading man for the Tide in 2025, he started the season on a tear and that pace was unsustainable because of a myriad of injuries. If Simpson were able to sustain his production, we may be talking about him closer to the likes of Joe Burrow.
I love Ty Simpson to the Rams! Congrats, Ty!! We’ll be rooting for you!
