Fans are already losing faith in Rams QB Stetson Bennett after ugly game vs. Broncos
(theramswire.usatoday.com)
Article has a paywall so here you go.
Stetson Bennett had a large contingent of Rams fans excited after his preseason debut against the Chargers two weeks ago but the tide is quickly turning for the rookie quarterback. He threw a pick against the Raiders in Week 2 of the preseason and in the first half against the Broncos on Saturday night, things got even worse.
Bennett completed 4 of 9 passes for 19 yards, throwing two interceptions and taking one sack. He completed nearly as many passes to the Broncos (2) as he did to his Rams teammates (4), which is never a good sign.
The interceptions weren’t exactly deep shots where he was trying to be aggressive, either. They were terrible decisions where he stared down the receiver and threw into tight coverage without seeing the underneath defenders.
Fans on social media were frustrated by Bennett’s performance and they’re suddenly losing faith in the backup quarterback.
Stetson Bennett may only make the roster because the team is hanging onto a fourth round pick and isn’t contending. There’s no way he can play against players who will make an NFL roster. I applaud Maurice Jones-Drew for spinning everything as a positive though.

Stetson Bennett was seen as a 5th-6th rounder by some draft experts.
He has 4 INTs now in the preseason. Meanwhile, DTR and Aidan O'Connell performing well and were taken after Bennett. Still way too early obviously, but worth mentioning.

I don’t want to see anymore nonsense about Stetson Bennett being the future of this franchise ever again.

My week 6 predication of Stetson Bennett being a Used Car Salesman may have been a little off
He could be dropped by week 1 pic.twitter.com/oR3Mosvu3O
