Not only would it be a mistake but not looking for a long-term replacement for Stafford would be negligence. The Rams have been in need of finding the heir to Stafford for at least a couple years now. Perhaps Bennett was their plan but given his current situation he can't be relied on for 2024. They have to pursue an alternative and can't operate on blind faith. The NFL is a business and similarly if one business plan fails, you have to come up with alternate business plan. It would be negligent to ignore the position this off-season.
