Final Report
In his first year as Alabama’s starter, it was a tale of two seasons for Ty Simpson. In weeks 1-8, he threw 18 touchdowns, one interception and averaged 276 passing yards per game. In his final eight games he threw just 10 touchdowns, had 11 turnover worthy plays and averaged 204 passing yards per game. Did Simpson’s play decline as the pressure of the season mounted? How hampered was he by injury? It’s no secret Alabama’s poor run game and 30 total drops by his pass catchers did not help, either. Let’s get into what’s on tape. He is a slightly undersized but intelligent quarterback with mobility. While his arm strength is average, Simpson plays with a base that is in sync with his upper body. That’s why when properly protected, he averaged over 8 yards per attempt and threw 24 touchdowns to just four interceptions. When pressured, things fell apart too often mechanically. This led to Simpson’s decline in accuracy down the stretch. He also had a 5.5% sack rate (30 sacks taken), which was 47th percentile in the country (per PFF). Despite this and being a one year starter, there is still promise with Simpson as a prospect. He completed 45 of his 63 passes (71.4%) in the intermediate middle of the field this year. He sees things well and could benefit not only from time, but a proper supporting cast. Simpson had a 30 visit with the New York Jets.
