It's amazing...it's amazing we win at all given how many players and coaches get poached every fucking year.

I will still watch but I agree with your angst 100%. Neither of those guys have improved or shown enough when given the chance. No slight to them, the Rams need a competent back-up QB. Although I do watch roughly half the Lions games since the Goff trade.
I'll still watch the Rams every chance I get, I just have to be dramatic!
Not a big fan of Bennett. Wouldn't complain if we took him or anything but I much prefer Haener.
Any QB midrounds is going to have question marks of course. Haener has them too like his mechanics and whatnot. But I like his competitive streak, his quick reads, and he's got good pocket movement while keeping his eyes downfield.
Bennett had everything around him and his film puts me to sleep.
This game here was really something. Haener threw an INT when he didn't see the safety, fumbled it, but they were in the game because he was the QB and he willed them to the finish line:

Agree. He’s definitely placing the weight on his shoulders to succeed. I believe the recent SB and Stafford‘s shadow may be the reason he chose to move on.

Yes, I’ve seen him play vs Penn State. He’s supposedly very intelligent. I also read that he had a lot of teams looking at him. A fourth rounder may be wishful thinking, especially if Pete Carrol thinks McVay is interested.
He already has thrown and completed passes to Hopkins, so there is that

I'll actually be able to root for him now. Unless he plays us, of course.
As you said, could definitely work on his mechanics. There was a wide open receiver downfield for a likely TD early in the video and he Garrapoloed the throw because of lousy foot positioning. But as you say, a lot of competitiveness there.
I admit I wonder about his arm strength. For McVay that matters because he's not a typical WCO gameplanner in that he prefers vertical stretching of the field. But we're looking for a backup who has some upside not a day one starter. Also in the WCO if you process fast historically you can survive, plenty of examples on that starting with Montana.
So looking at the QBs this year I think the priorities are competitive drive and ability to get through reads and see options.
