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

Negative signalRole

Bennett's preseason efficiency concerns and tight-window struggles limit his backup QB reliability.

Bennett demonstrated concerning efficiency issues in preseason action against New Orleans despite filling the stat sheet; he threw behind moving receivers, sailed passes, and left several big plays on the field. While his running ability provides a high floor, he struggles with tight window throws and misses hard passes more often than not. Against starting defenses with tighter coverage than exhibition games, a regular season offense led by Bennett would not be efficient. Max Klare assesses Bennett as not ready to be a reliable backup QB, comparing him unfavorably to Jimmy Garoppolo's standard.
