Rams Coach McVay Discusses QB Decisions After Preseason Finale

In the Rams' preseason finale on Thursday night, Ty Simpson took the field as quarterback while Stetson Bennett did not participate. Head coach Sean McVay clarified that the decision regarding their playing time was not indicative of who will serve as the backup quarterback for the upcoming regular season.

McVay explained that the choice to start Simpson was aimed at providing him with valuable experience as he prepares for his rookie season. He emphasized that the team has confidence in both Simpson and Bennett, stating that they are not rushing into a decision about the primary backup to Matthew Stafford.

The Rams are set to face the 49ers in their season opener in Australia in two weeks, suggesting that a decision regarding the backup quarterback will be made soon.
