Turf Show Times on Stetson Bennett
From the article
Stetson Bennett needed a good showing on Saturday to help establish his role as the Los Angeles Rams' backup quarterback, and he did exactly that. But after rookie Ty Simpson looked solid (if not better) last week, there was countless chatter about when Simpson would jump him.
STACKED’s take
Bennett's preseason showing establishes his backup role and job security amid Simpson competition.
Bennett needed a strong preseason showing to establish his role as the Los Angeles Rams' backup quarterback, and he delivered. After rookie Ty Simpson looked solid (if not better) the prior week, there was significant chatter about when Simpson would jump him and blogs questioning whether Bennett should be traded. However, Bennett demonstrated he can make pro throws and push the ball downfield—a key requirement for a backup. The source notes that while Bennett lacks long-term starter upside, a solid backup doesn't need to make every throw; they need to keep the ball safe and push it in specific spots. Bennett's performance helps him feel comfortable securing another paycheck after his rookie deal expires next spring.
