Stetson Bennett placed on NFI Reserve List

[Allen2McVay]

Wish the Rams had a decent back-up QB on the roster.

Yikes. Very cryptic quotes by coach. Hope Bennett is ok.

 

[jjab360]

I hope two things: first, that he is ok. A distant second, that Colt McCoy is still available.

No thanks, I have no idea why noodle arm gets mentioned so much on this board

 

[Buffnblue]

why cant mcvay jsut say what the real reason is.

why is there always a need to hide the truth?

its better to tell the truth than to lie.

Well of the free agents available, who would you prefer?

This likely means Bennett wont see the field this season. We will almost certainly be pulling in another option to backup Stafford (Rypien aint it). Regardless, if Stafford goes down then the season is done and dusted anyway.

It sure sounds like a personal issue (like substance abuse), or something like that. What else would require “respect for privacy”?

Definitely a quirk the Rams have under McVay, is cryptic messaging like this. We saw it with Gurley, Goff, Akers, Henderson, etc. too.

To respect the players privacy. He didn't lie.

If you're going through shit, do you want someone to announce it to the world or for you to speak on it?

I concur and everyone knows this is proper protocol. Hopefully everything gets straighten out and Bennett becomes a better man because of it.

Rams need to look to sign another QB and I am hoping it is not Little Johnny Wolford.

 

[Ramstien]

I know for a fact if you can find the help and strength to overcome something like this you will come out much stronger on the other side with a greater appreciation for life and your opportunities.

This^^^

Why do fans think they have some right to know if it is personal in nature? Because we buy a few tickets or pay for the NFL ticket?

a valuable draft choice waisted really. hope for the best for him. go rams.

The "i" in NFI stands for injury/illness. So it could be mental illness. Not trolling or joking about something this serious but I think it might be HIV+.

 

[JonRam99]

Every time they won't disclose something, it's something that can affect his career.
- Rehab
- Long-term Illness
- Mental Health

 

[WestCoastRam]

Hoping he takes the same career path Max Crosby does and becomes a dominate player!!

The baseless speculation this time around is out of pocket lolol

Wentz, Foles, Matt Ryan, any warm body that can physically throw the ball past 25 yards tbh

Rypien is just as good as a Colt McCoy or any other scrub. If Stafford goes down, the season is over.
