Summary
Former NFL GM Scot McCloughan has labeled Rams rookie QB Ty Simpson a “career backup,” arguing he was drafted too high and comparing him to underwhelming first-round QBs like J.J. McCarthy and Mac Jones. With veteran Matthew Stafford still on the roster and Sean McVay calling the shots, Simpson’s future role remains uncertain—but being a reliable backup in the NFL is no small feat. Meanwhile, the Rams are also weighing moves like potentially trading cornerback Derion Kendrick to the Lions and re-signing safety Taylor Rapp on a one-year deal to prove he’s still a starter. As the season nears, the Rams are juggling roster decisions amid a league full of player potential debates and strategic shifts.
