Alright, so the Los Angeles Rams are in a bit of a pickle, quarterback wise, heading into their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Matthew Stafford is locked in as the starter, no surprise there, but the real question is, who's backing him up? They've got Stetson Bennett, the former Georgia star, and Ty Simpson, a highly touted rookie from Alabama, both on the roster. This isn't just a formality, the Rams are actually debating who gets the number two spot. Both Bennett and Simpson have been bawling out in the preseason, making it a really tight race. Coach Sean McVeigh is keeping his car close to his chest, saying he sees them both as viable options and will make the final call closer to game time. Last year, the situation was clearer, with Jimmy Grobbelow as the solid backup. This year, with Grobbelow gone, it's a whole new dynamic. They're not really expecting either Bennett or Simpson to see much action, unless Stafford

The depth chart currently lists Bennett as the second string quarterback, but the word is that Simpson is right there with him, no real separation. This decision is pretty important, because it sets the tone for how they'll handle quarterback depth throughout the season, especially with only one emergency third stringer. So the clock is ticking from McVeigh in the Rams to finalize this quarterback decision. It's a testament to how hard both Bennett and Simpson have worked, that it's come down to this. We'll have to wait and see who gets the nod when they hit the field.
