    At the combine, Bennett boosted his stock, as he ran a 4.67 and displayed explosion in the broad jump (85th percentile). More importantly, he looked outstanding in the passing drills where he showcased a surprisingly strong arm and excellent accuracy.

    Stupid pick. Truly stupid. With all the holes they have on this team, and all the starters they still need to add? They go for a backup QB, under six feet?

    The 49ers drafted a K in Round 3.

    And he didn’t even win the Lou Groza award.

    The dude is there as a back up. Can he win 50% of games spot starting should Stafford have to miss a few? He’s a fiery competitor, advanced student of the game, and a winner, so I say yes. His MAIN purpose, however, is to be a haughty competitive advanced-level scout team QB to get our D really well prepared. And, 2nd to spot start/relieve due to injury.

    He’s a perfect pick for that. No other rookie would fill that bill, and the Rams can’t afford a veteran back-up. Unless we drafted Hooker, there was no one we could get who had a realistic shot at being a long term starter. And even if we did take Hooker, we would need another QB to run the scout team since Hooker won’t be really ready for a while. Bennett serves the immediate purposes better (back-up in case Stafford misses games, relatively sophisticated scout team qb who can challenge the Rams defense).

    He is going to make our defense better.

    Bennett will likely be the backup to former UGA quarterback and No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford. Still, Stafford recognizes Bennett’s ability on the field, stating previously, “He’s got great athleticism, throws the ball well, and does a lot of things really well.” Rams HC Sean McVay wanted Bennett to prove himself and push him to earn the backup role to Stafford, which Kirby Smart also did while Bennett was at Georgia.

    “I’ve been really pleased with him,” McVay’s statement concerning Bennett. “The one thing that stands out is when the ball is in Stetson’s hands, the game makes sense to him – he’s fun to be around.”
