Rams' McVay Views Bennett and Simpson as Equal Backup Options

The Los Angeles Rams have released their depth chart, placing Stetson Bennett as the second quarterback and Ty Simpson as the third. However, head coach Sean McVay clarified that the competition between the two is not as straightforward as it appears.

McVay has not yet determined which quarterback will be active for the upcoming game against the 49ers, stating that he considers both players to be on equal footing in the battle for the backup position behind Matthew Stafford. He mentioned that both quarterbacks will continue to prepare regardless of who is ultimately chosen for the game.

McVay emphasized that the backup situation may change throughout the season, indicating that the roles could be fluid and that the Rams hope neither quarterback will need to play except in garbage time.
