Bennett’s Backup Battle Heats Up | Los Angeles Rams News
Description
Stetson Bennett’s backup QB dreams are hanging by a thread. Despite flashing brilliance in preseason—500+ yards, 5 TDs—he’s struggled this year with fewer stats and no touchdowns, though zero interceptions. The Rams’ coaching staff, led by Sean McVay, still questions his readiness, especially as rookie Ty Simpson surges ahead with a longer contract and improved play. Bennett’s lone bright spot? A standout performance against the Saints, including two rushing TDs. But McVay demands more than stats—he wants reliability. With veteran backups like Mayfield and Garoppolo once favored, Bennett’s unproven status makes him a risky gamble. The backup race is tightening—and the season opener could be the ultimate test.
