Yeah I don’t understand the point of playing Bennett if you are going to be so conservative and safe. He had 4 bootlegs and 2 quick game throws. The playcalling last preseason was much more wide open, pushing the ball downfield. It’s preseason. You might as well see what you got. Honestly same for Simpson.

I’ve seen enough already to say with confidence: Simpson >>>>> Bennett.
Simpson looks the part. But I don’t want him as backup. We may need to find an experienced QB later when cuts come to replace Bennett.

Simpson should be the second-string quarterback. He looks ready.
He’s looked good but I still don’t think he’s ready to be QB2. He’s playing against a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers running a really safe conservative offense. I still think it’s more than likely we end up with Jimmy on the roster with Ty QB3 and Stetson on the practice squad.

That was a stupid decision. Should have attempted the FG.

A little blocking might've come in handy there.
I agree - go for the 61 yard FG - if he misses it he misses it.
I think he can kick it long enough so that it wouldn't be returned.
I'm sure Mcvay is more interested in putting Simpson in different scenarios than kicking fgs
Maybe but it would also be nice to see if Mevis can kick a 61 yard FG
Rams 2 Penalties. Chiefs 7. Sure seemed like there were more than that. Although 7 Penalties in one half is a lot for a team.
Simpson had good rotation and better ball placement. I'm not sure it was just the play calling that made Simpson look much better.
The play calling made it pretty simple. I wouldn't make any judgment on what we have seen so far. There were not even any intermediate passes called. Looked to me like a just stick your toes in to get a feel type of play calling for both QBs.
I hear ya but the playcalling says otherwise. Go back and watch Bennett’s highlights from both preseason games last year. The playcalling resembled what it would’ve looked like in a regular season game with Stafford. Play action with intermediate throws over the middle of the field. Go balls. Deep outs.
Today has been 95% bootlegs where the QB is hitting their first read right away. I just don’t understand the philosophy behind it. I was looking forward to watching Bennett and Simpson run the full offense. This is straight up training wheels stuff. Maybe it’ll change next week.
