Maybe you should do a little research, because the facts stated are exactly that. Whatevs, you do youIt doesn't have a whole lot to do with Stetson being a Ram.
And more to do with people stating their opinions as fact.
Just my opinion.
Rams select Stetson Bennett (QB) with the 128th pick.

You would think after leading Georgia to back to back National Titles they would reward Bennett with an Honorary Degree at the minimum.
They could give him the Honorary "John Blutarsky Degree"

Fitzgerald was a true junior, though, and was only in college for three years.
Honestly, I’d love to see Stetson grow into a dominant QB. That would be one less thing to worry about if Stafford isn’t right.
We’ll see.
I'd love to see Stetson become a solid NFL starting quarterback too. Time will tell on that. But I don't believe they drafted him to be the heir apparent. I think they drafted him to be Stafford's backup. I also think he will be a nice upgrade over Wolford and Perkins as the primary backup. Hopefully he won't be needed.
Maybe I don’t understand the drama here.
Is it because he’s been in school for too long? School/academics and homework assignments etc aren’t for everyone. That’s a fact. Doesn’t make one any less intelligent than the fast tracked honors student.
Although, it is possible I’m Donnie in the Big Lebowski and I came in too late to this discussion.

I basically was responding to the fact that college football players should not waste their college time because injuries happen that can derail their football career. My point about Stetson is that he was one of those college players plus he wasted 7 years of college time that could have been a degree and if he got hurt in the championship game ....dohMaybe I don’t understand the drama here.

Fortunately he didn't and I will root for him as a Ram.
But man if he wasn't a Ram - well .......
I would get my inner Red on
There's surely no drama.
Would be an entirely different discussion if it didnt involve a Rams player.
Alas, he's a Ram and that is that
I just remember watching him at Georgia and he continually seemed to make something out of nothing. His intangibles make him an interesting pick. Well worth the 4th round pick considering the potential upside.
Good QBs don't grow on trees. Sometimes you have to go digging in the dirt.

Most of Bennett's passing issues comes from inconsistent mechanics. He's got bad habits that if he can clean them up he can be a consistent passer. The problem with short QBs is that to throw deep they must throw rainbows to get it above the DL. That allows defenders time to react to the throw. That is where having better arm strength comes in. IMO he needs better velocity on his deep passes. As I've said before I've seen nothing that says Bennett can't evolve into a good QB. I simply don't see him as their choice for QB1 long term. McVay isn't going to turn the vetting over to LaFluer and Robinson for that position. He's going to be intimately involved in the selection just as he was with Stafford. Have you all forgotten? He had a very good QB1 in Goff. History has shown Goff to be a top tier talent. But he wasn't McVay's QB. Nowhere in any of McVay's statements said he followed the guy and loved his game. He said more of that kind of stuff about Mayfield than Bennett.
No IMO the next QB1 for the Rams will be someone Sean chooses as his guy, not LaFluer and Robinson, who knows how long they will be in LA. McVay said more than once that it was LaFluer and Robinson who identified Bennett, not himself. Yes, QB2 is exactly the pick McVay would turn over to those guys to identify. I think he's already made up his mind who he wants and I'm guessing he's probably in next year's draft.
I'm happy with the pick because the Rams now have long term security at the position (QB2).

Goff was never rated much beyond 16-18th in the league hardly defined as a "very good QB1." He had a nice second half last season, let's see what transpires now that they've caught the attention of their competition.
