Rams | Brett Rypien struggles in road loss Sun Nov 5, 06:39 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Brett Rypien completed 13-of-28 passes for 130 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, while adding 19 rushing yards on three attempts with two fumbles and one lost.
| Footballguys view: The Rams offense was miserable with Rypien. No one was a viable play. Hopefully Matthew Stafford will be ready to go after next week's bye, but this game was bad enough that the Rams may be tempted to put Stafford back out there before his thumb is healed. He would probably still outperform Rypien even if his thumb was amputated. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford not expected to start in Week 9 Sun Nov 5, 08:29 AM

Rams | Brett Rypien could start in Week 9 Sat Nov 4, 11:04 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Brett Rypien would likely start Week 9's game against the Green Bay Packers if QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) is unable to play.
| Footballguys view: Stafford has been listed as questionable for the game against the Packers. Rams HC Sean McVay has indicated Stafford is a game-time decision, and it mainly depends on whether Stafford can grip the football. If Stafford can't go (he didn't practice all week) then Rypien gets the nod. Downgrade your expectations for the Rams offense if Rypien is under center. |

Rams | Brett Rypien joining LAR Thu May 4, 11:46 AM
Free-agent QB Brett Rypien (Broncos) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams Wednesday, May 3, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Rypien was the no.2 quarterback for the Broncos, and he's been forced into starting duty a couple of times over the last few seasons. Undrafted out of Boise State in 2019, Rypien is incredibly smart (and he's probably going to be a coach someday) but he's limited in his skill set. His experience gives him an edge to win the primary backup job behind starting QB Matthew Stafford. Rookie Stetson Bennett (who is only one year younger than Rypien) is his main competition for the no.2 job. |
