Bennett’s Backup Battle | Los Angeles Rams News
Description
Stetson Bennett is quietly seizing the Rams’ backup QB role, outperforming rookie Ty Simpson in practice and earning reps even when Stafford sits — but with a twist: he’s been throwing risky passes, including a pick-six. Coach McVay hints at giving Simpson preseason snaps while staying mum on Bennett’s role, which feels odd for a QB who hasn’t played a real snap yet. While Bennett lacks Garoppolo’s experience, his situation is unique — he’s the actual quarterback. Giving him preseason reps would be smart prep for any Stafford absence, but the team seems stuck in tradition or trying to prove something. Bennett needs game-like reps to iron out kinks before Week 1.
