Steven Ruiz· Aug 24, 2026
Ruiz argues Stetson Bennett, not rookie Ty Simpson, will win the Rams' backup quarterback job and be the next man up if Matthew Stafford misses time. He also makes the case that Fernando Mendoza is already ready to play, though he acknowledges the Raiders plan to start Kirk Cousins all season.
“Unless the Rams coach wants to return to the pre-Stafford offense, Bennett will be the next man up if Stafford goes down.”
