I agree Bennet was drafted to provide a decent backup QB for a couple of years and a very cap friendly price. Surely he will prove to be an upgrade over Perkins and Wolf.
Can he be a stop gap after Stafford retires? Maybe but that would be a huge boon though it might indicate we are really struggling at the QB position.
Off the top of my head I can think of 3 great QBs who came in with really low expectations: Warner, Brady and Montana. When Montana came in he was too small and didn't have that Pro QB arm yet he turned into a great Pro. Montana had a very productive college career just like Bennet. Could Bennet be that type of guy? I doubt it but it is not unheard of and at this point it is like having a lottery ticket before the big drawing. The odds are terrible but the hope is big.
Excellent post, Deacon.
QB’s are where you find them. An axiom that we often tend to forget.
And any QB tends to do better under gifted coaching, which Rams have.
So, let’s just wait and see where Bennett’s career takes him.
I will say this. I wouldn’t be betting against him at this point.
Screw the Bennett haters!
I compared Bennett to a poor man's version of Doug Flutie and if in the right conditions could have a nice long career in the NFL.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
