Cowher Critiques Rams' Simpson Gamble

0:00On April 24, Bill Cowherr, the former Steelers coach who knows a thing or two about quarterback transitions, called out the Rams on Pat McAfee show. For paying a steep price to draft Ty Simpson, he pointed out it's a big investment in a player with limited experience, especially since Rams head coach Sean McVay hasn't even chatted with the guy. Yet, Simpson only started 15 games in college, all for Alabama last year in 2025. He put up 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, just five picks, and completed 64.5% of his. Passes, which is solid, but still leaves room to grow. Cowherr and others worry, Simpson lacks the reps to handle NFL defenses right away, and with the Rams' history of quarterback drama, this move raises. Eyebrows among fans and analysts. The good news is, Simpson gets to sit behind Matthew Stafford and learn from one of the league's sharpest minds in McVay, giving him time to develop without immediate pressure.
