How? Only way we do is by signing him and then it becomes a moot point.

Not a chance.
Stafford barely threw in TC/PS last year and this year will be no different
Has to have a solid vet presence in there taking reps with the starters and 2's
The #2 QB may be nothing more than a clipboard holder during the season but has a much more significant role in PS/TC
Do you know any of these things to be backed by facts? They are probably fairly safe assumptions but we don’t know for sure if he wants more money and how much money that would mean. I mean, everyone wants more money than their last deal. He probably wants to start for someone but is that starting role something he really wants with the teams that might want him there? McSnead have only really say that they need to find Staffords eventual replacement. Not sure what Hollywood has come calling even means.
My bad. I assumed everyone would understand that those were merely guesses since I don't work for the team or know they guy.
Just that there are a shit load of assumptions being thrown around as if they’re facts.

Wow, when I posted this I didn’t think it would go 12+ pages and honestly thought he would be signed by now. Looking at the list of free agent QBs, the talent is pretty scarce.
Could they actually think Bennett has progressed enough to be QB2?

You can probably remove this option. The FA market has spoken on his value. Jimmy's not stupid.
EXPLAIN ?’
I”ll trust what I’ve seen from the Rams & what Sean Mcvay has said.
IMO Cousins was that guy who was a Wildcard. He found a home with the Raiders for now.He’ll be in a system he knows.
I guess my Biggest take away was Mcvay calling for Cousins to be a Ram. That was out of respect.
What can The Rams afford? There’s no guarantees.,but like I will continue to say is SEAN Mcvay really likes Jimmy G & it showed when Mike Lafluer left & there were talks about him going to Arizona.Thetr back up QB Man-Chew isn’t a better fit for them than Jimmy G IMO. The Rams have a MVP QB room & I don’t think that will change 2026.
Within this article, McVay says it's less likely than likely that Garoppolo returns.

“At this point, when there hasn’t been a decision, it feels less likely than likely,” McVay said of the possibility of Garoppolo returning. “But I don’t want to rule that out.”
Three paths the Rams could take to fill their need for a backup quarterback
How the Rams decide to fill their backup QB void could tell a lot about their future plans at the game's most important position.

Sounds like they are going to see if they can pick up another QB in the draft. Can’t see Bennett as QB2.Within this article, McVay says it's less likely than likely that Garoppolo returns.

Thanks for posting the quote. Many of us don't pay for the Athletic and wouldn't be able to read the article to get the info you mentioned. Cheers.Within this article, McVay says it's less likely than likely that Garoppolo returns.

And certainly They/them
I don’t know how the QB drama will play out, but unlike during previous eras, I have faith the Rams are playing this with some high cards in their hands, and are not in danger of being left high and dry in Stetson Hell.

Do you really see a QB in this draft that the Rams would have as QB2 behind Stafford?
I can’t see that all. I’d imagine Bennett would be ahead of the rookie depth chart wise.
But imo, I’d expect neither - I’d expect some vet to come and fight Bennett for that spot. If JG doesn’t return.
His best chance to find a chance to start was at the beginning of FA. But the market spoke. Teams don't see him as a starter.
I cant read the Athletic article, but assuming its been like many of the interviews McVay has had recently on the topic, the absence of Stetson Bennett's name in QB discussions is quite telling.
I just dont see where they would put a rookie QB in the #2 spot, considering Stafford's participation will be (or should be) limited this off season.
In his last interview McVay's comments insinuated that he wants a vet in that role. So I agree it threw water on any idea of Bennett functioning in that role. And again I am fine with the backup losing games if Stafford misses significant time, because then we'll want a high pick. But my job isn't tied to performance on the field, so I get it.
Telling?
Yes, it tells me that McVay doesn't want to give out any more info regarding QBs until the draft is over.
Huh? I guess you're not reading the same articles I am.
He's giving out plenty of info regarding QB's, and doesnt appear to be stopping.
I'm referring to McVay talking about the need to fill the backup QB role, paid homage to Kirk Cousins and threw flowers at Garoppolo. But nowhere (at least that I'm aware of) did he say, "And of course we have Stetson back there as well". Its not a 1 time thing either, I've seen several conversations, and the absence is noticable
