Stetson Bennett is competing with Brett Rypien for the backup quarterback role behind Matthew Stafford. Rypien, who is 27, has played in eight NFL games and thrown 130 passes in his career. He is more experienced than Bennett and has not seen as much action this preseason. Perhaps he will see more snaps in preseason Week 3.
Rams Wire debates why the Rams are giving Bennett so much more playing time.
The Rams are clearly trying to get a longer look at Bennett than they are Rypien, which could mean one of two things: Bennett is entrenched as Matthew Stafford’s backup and is just getting as many reps as he can, or Rypien is ahead of him so the Rams are simply trying to give Bennett some experience.
Bennett, a who was a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, will at the very least make Los Angeles’ practice squad.
