Rams select Stetson Bennett (QB) with the 128th pick.

[den-the-coach]

I absolutely LOOOOVE this pick. I'm a huge Bennett fan. Dude has a much better arm than given credit for. He's got mobility, can really zip the ball, shows up in the biggest moments and full of swagger and confidence.

Geez the one guy I was counting on to lambaste this pick. I guess it’s true what they say , “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

 

[AvengerRam]

Sure hope the Johnny Manziel vibe I get from him is misplaced.

 

[blackbart]

His does not have a weak arm, no clue where that fantasy came from. Has won back to back championships and is from the same school as Stafford. Don’t really care about his age or that he got drunk.

Better than Wolford ever thought about being.

The Rams liked him and he’ll have a great opportunity.

I'm not sure this kid has the throwing ability to ever be a starter. But he's spent his life proving people wrong. As a backup, I get it. He's a gamer who has mobility, intangibles, good mental abilities, and plays his guts out.

I thought the same when I posted it. I'm like everyone hates it, I love it. Usually I hate it and everyone loves it.

I've dogged on Snead a lot this off-season but I'm loving... LOVING this draft!

Not sure I like anyone that's named after a hat

And a damned Cowboy hat at that.

Okay I’ve had enough can we get Brad Holmes back.

You mean the man who just turned a 1st round pick into a 7th?

I remember you had a post about "maybe it's good when your QB is a cocky SOB."

Time to put that theory to the test. Worked with Baker Mayfield

Cocky SOBs are easy to manage. You just put your foot in their asses when you need to. The hardest ones to manage are the introverts, in my experience at least. So yeah I have no problem with his personality or any of that.

He's just a small guy who is a backup only. Haener would have been similar. Nothing wrong with the pick though.

Hope he kills it this preseason. Because once the season starts it's gonna be on the rough side.

I think the Rams know what they need at QB… They did it well with Goff and they nailed it with Stafford.

I also think we need to look at Stetson closer with an eye toward what the Rams see.

Go Rams!

I think he could become a good back up, fairly quickly. It's said that he mastered the Georgia offense and led them to two national titles. He gets rid of the ball fast and has a decent arm and is accurate. One commentator said that the Georgia offense and the Rams offense are similar and therefore he will understand our offense quickly? Hope so. I would take him over Wolford and the other guy in a heartbeat.

Definitely the opposite of Goff. I think his shrug and move on to next play (good and bad) drove McVay nuts.

Snead homer!

 

[Ram Ts]

Just saying...I'm not sure i want to draft a QB if he's NOT a cocky dude. You want that guy to be a dog and give me the damn ball guy. I want Fonzie in the huddle down by 7 or less with the last drive of the game....not Richie Cunningham.

 

[Loyal]

I guess I am in the minority that loved watching this dude play and the skill set he has. I remember him juking defenders and throwing lasers.

I am no draftnik nor do I follow the college game like some of you so what do I know.

I get the size and character concerns.

I guess me, Mcvay and Snead will be alone in our excitement

Naw, I'm excited for him and I think CGI is too....

 

[thirteen28]

We now have two QBs on our roster who are both UGA QBs and who have won a championship in SoFi Stadium. What are the odds?

 

[snackdaddy]

I know highlight videos are only gonna show the good stuff. So I watch for little things. It does seem his arm strength is good enough for the NFL. And obviously better than Wolford or Perkins. Release seems quick enough.

He's a little quicker than I expected. Has nice cut moves when he decides to run with it. I think coming from Georgia Stafford will more likely want to take him under his wing and teach him some things.

We have to remember, he was not drafted to be the heir apparent. He was drafted to be a backup to Stafford. Hopefully he won't be needed. But with enough coaching from McVay and Stafford he should be an upgrade to what they had.

Another thing to consider. Everyone calls this a reach. He shoulda still been available later in the draft. But maybe not. There were 4 quarterbacks taken after they picked Bennett and before their next pick in the 5th round.

Its quite possible one of those teams woulda picked Bennett before the Rams could. I'm sure they had a feel for which teams were gonna target a quarterback. If Bennett was the guy they wanted all along it does make sense to pick him when they did.

 

[quebecramfan]

I see drunk people every game day on here... not sure why it's such a problem he got drunk a couple of times in his life.

 

[oldnotdead]

At this point he's looks better than Haener and a definite upgrade over Wolford. Would seem to indicate that the Rams have a QB targeted next year as the successor to Stafford.

You fucker, I’ve only ever been buzzed never drunk!
