Yahoo Sports NFL on Stetson Bennett
From the article
Bennett did not look like an efficient thrower of the football. In the last two weeks he's demonstrated a concerning trend of often throwing behind moving receivers. Against New Orleans specifically, the ball often sailed on Bennett and he left several big plays on the field.
STACKED’s take
Bennett's preseason stats masked inefficient mechanics and poor ball placement on film.
Max Klare argues Bennett's preseason performance against New Orleans was overhyped by box score watchers; while Bennett filled the stat sheet, film review reveals inefficient throwing mechanics, a concerning trend of throwing behind moving receivers, and balls that sailed on him, leaving several big plays on the field. Klare emphasizes that in a regular season offense led by Bennett, efficiency would be compromised; starting defenses will play tighter coverage than exhibition games allow, and Bennett isn't making tight window throws or converting hard passes at an acceptable rate. Bennett's running ability provides a high floor, but he isn't Jimmy Garoppolo-caliber as a backup.
