Ty Simpson again stole headlines in the Los Angeles Rams' 20-18 win over the Chargers on Thursday night, yet fellow rookie CJ Daniels has earned a chance in the spotlight. Following a second straight promising game, Daniels has seemingly done enough to earn a roster spot, as he's been one of the Rams' most consistent wideouts this preseason.
We'll get into that more shortly, but let's dive into the good, the bad and the ugly against the Chargers in the preseason finale on Thursday night.
Did Simpson secure the backup position? There's a chance, but Sean McVay is going to take his sweet ****** time making a decision.
The quarterback battle in Los Angeles shouldn't be a battle at all given what we've seen this preseason. Simpson has simply outplayed Stetson Bennett and should be rewarded with the backup role. Why should the Rams put up with mediocrity behind Matthew Stafford? They haven't put up with average with the rest of the roster.
There's more on that in a bit. The rookie has truly been sensational this preseason. He didn't make a single mistake in his three appearances, which is crucial to note. Additionally, he demonstrated high efficiency and poise like someone who has played in this offense for years.
