## Resource

The Rams’ quarterback battle heats up as Ty Simpson, the 13th overall pick, faces off against veteran backup Stetson Bennett for the No. 2 spot — with Matthew Stafford’s uncertain future hanging over both. Bennett, despite no regular-season snaps, brings preseason stats, Heisman pedigree, and mental health resilience, while Simpson, a talented Alabama starter, needs development in timing and protection. Neither stood out during Stafford’s absences, leaving fans anxious as McVay’s offense remains a key factor — and the backup role could be the most critical position on the roster this offseason.
