Ty Simpson put up HUGE numbers for the Los Angeles Rams — but do the stats really tell the entire story?
On this edition of CSD NFL Blitz, I break down Ty Simpson vs. Fernando Mendoza and why comparing their preseason performances isn't as simple as looking at the box score.
Simpson finished 21/25 for 190 yards, 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions and a 125 passer rating. Mendoza went 10/16 for 97 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions.
But opportunity matters.
Simpson is developing inside Sean McVay's established Rams system with a roster built to contend. Mendoza is stepping into a new era in Las Vegas as the Raiders build their identity under Klint Kubiak.
