Scot McCloughan: Ty Simpson is a 'career backup'

Speaking on Team 980, McCloughan argued that Simpson is comparable to J.J. McCarthy and Mac Jones, stating, 'He’s a career backup.' He believes Simpson was drafted high simply to prove critics wrong rather than being a legitimate franchise starter. sport-tr.bet

McCloughan, a veteran executive with experience with the 49ers and Seahawks, noted that building a roster this way is not ideal. This marks the first potential starting quarterback the Rams have drafted since Sean McVay arrived in 2017.
