Opinion: Too soon to give up on preseason ânightmareâ Stetson Bennett in NFL ranks
That might explain why an SB Nation article â which purports to be from âA Los Angeles Rams community â took a jab at former Georgia quarterback and current Ramsâ back up Stetson Bennett.
Comments
I don’t know. I honestly don’t. But I’m still pulling for the man from Blackshear. I hope the very best for him. It’s fun when the low dawg rises to the top. If he could get a bounce or two his way maybe there’s some light.
The question is, can Mike connect with DN readers while avoiding throwing shade at SB and stirring up controversy at every turn?
The question is, can Mike connect with DN readers while avoiding throwing accolades to opposing teams like UFK and making us tired of the same old schtick?
Just another SB bashing article. Mike just be honest. You hate the guy. He must have stole your lunch money or insulted you somehow because you will not let it rest. What is your problem? Be forthcoming and tell the truth or stop this tiresome attack on SB.
BTW your comments weren't cute so I used them to show you how silly they are. But mine are true and yours are meant to disparage SB. Give It A Rest…Geez we're tired of it. There's the door…your favorite college team awaits your return. Please let UFK be your rightful home.
@CTD Please read the story, I think it's too soon to give up on Stetson, and I think if he gets a chance to get live snaps, he could produce plays. Stetson is a big part of UGA football history, and there are many Georgia fans who want to follow the story just as we do other former Georgia stars. There will be ups and downs for all players and teams. Thank you for your feedback, I do read your comments and appreciate your time.
Yeah...there has been sporadic positive and negative spec reporting on Bennett, going back a few years. From pretty much, every publication that "matters".
Lol...Mainly, because they have no real meat to sink their teeth into. He's an enigma, a spiritual story-in-wait. Everybody is dying for an ending to the story.…and, they don't know which way to go. Did he...or, didn't he?. Lol
IMO....Right now....a lot of these publications are trying to examine Bennett's potential on-field contribution....using an extremely small sample size made available to for public consumption.
They are seeing what McVay is allowing them to see....and thinking what he's allowing them to think. These "experts" are examining that sparse material with a microscope.…when they should be using a telescope.
So far...McVay has kept that closer to the vest than Kirby's Kids. Lol....you know what they say..."if it weren't for an inaccurate story.…there'd be no story at all".
From what I've been hearing and reading [from what I consider reliable sources]
1. Bennett is plan A, should Stafford not be able to go, this season. And, they're gonna dump JG's contract to save badly-needed cap money....once SB is established..
2. There is also potential for Stafford to retire. He's been considering it. If that happens... they keep JG. JG and SB will fight it out for QB & leader, during camp. Maybe. Depending on a lot of other considerations, like injury and player availability.
3. The Rams, as a team, are not in as good a situation today...as they were 2 short years ago. Bennett makes the most sense for them, provided....he "is", what McVay and others say he is.
Bottom Line....They plan on finding out, soon.My money's on Stetson Bennett.
You look around the league, at all the "built-in excuses with arms" and "media coronated Prima Donna's"...and, ya' gotta ask yourself....who wouldn't want to go to war with Stetson Bennett? The kid's a fighter. He's a ballplayer's ballplayer.
Something a lot of people have a hard time understanding. Imagine being a little stunned, getting beat & beat-up, near hopless with time ticking off the clock, desperate for a spark.......
.....Now, imagine, in that scenario... the difference between, looking across the huddle into the intense competitive eyes of an SB....vs...looking across that same huddle, into the eyes of a CB.
Game recognizes game, as the kids say....and, sometimes that makes all the difference. Lol....players know and respect the extra gear or set of hands [whatever] that comes out of a gamer, when the chips are down.
It's like having a never-ending supply of Nitrox under the hood.. Did the Dawgs' Offense appear to have a supply of "Nitrox" in every game, last year?....or, the year before? [Barring the FSU game, Lol]
Lol....as the crow flies...looks like Bennett may just be, better that the coronaters and the coronated, alike. Despite a neverending barrage of cold to luke warm Press rhroughout his amazing journey, he's managed to reach the summit....and, beyond???
Sounds remarkably like the relationship between the "Fake Media" and our POTUS, huh?. My view of most of the sports & news media today...as being akin to a broken clock [Even that is right twice a day]....has also, effected my view of these fly-by opinion pieces on Bennett, coming out of Cali.
As for my money? It's still on Stetson. Let it Ride!!!, Baby!! Let it ride! Lol
During the times of no college football—January through August—I watch a lot of Georgia games on YouTube. Watching Stetson in those two championship seasons is a kick. He was almost "magical" —passes on the button, accurate on short passes and long passes, good decision making, agile and quick. I find it hard to believe that he's a marginal third string QB in the NFL. It's almost as if he made a deal with a genie, but the time has expired. I wish him all the best!!
Imo...he is only 3rd string because of that wasted 1st year. Which forced LA to sign a backup they didn't really want to support their aged Super Bowl winning QB, going into the '23 Season. That contract was a patch to keep Bennett...otherwise, they would've drafted or dealt for a younger quarterback.
The way i see it…They wouldn't have done that, unless they saw the same thing, a good many of us, saw. McVay sees Bennett as his future quarterback, until proven otherwise.
The biggest question I have, that can't be answered till I see him play again, is...."Does he play with the same edge and poise he once had....or, is he even better?".
Lot of questions with Bennett, since he departed Athens. But, he seems well adjusted. Good for him.
Stetson is going to have to have a solid preseason if he wants to stay a Ram. We will see if he’s up to the task.
Yep....he doesn't have the luxury of a Mulligan and he knows that...especially, at his age, Lol. Which is why I expect to see him at his best, come September.
Who knows....Bennett could be one of those guys that plays well into his 40's. Primarily, because Sports Medicine....medicine in general will soon take a gigantic leap into the future, with AI and cloning technology.
IMO...The average length of a career in sports will adjust upward significantly, between now and 2035, due to all the projected advancements. People in general will live longer, healthier lives.
Bottom line...."giving up", on Sretson Bennett, in 2025 is a fool's errand. I can't wait to hear all the gumflappers explain how they missed it. Lol...oh wait...they don't do that, do they?.
Obviously, all Dawg fans are pulling for Stetson. That year away from football for “personal reasons,” raises concerns. He displayed some very strange behavior. While I hope he gets back on track, I am concerned about his personal wellness. Time may tell the story, but, then again, we may never really know about that year away from football. I hope he gets it together and finds success in the NFL. Just not sure that will happen.
IMO…The benefit of that year awaý from the game far outweighed any advantage he would've gotten, otherwise....considering the mental condition he was experiencing.Truth is...imo…If he had stayed...that might've been the end of him.
He wasn't playing tidley-winks for 6 years. He was immersed in one of most labor-intensive and impressive, self-improvement & transformation programs CFB has to offer.
That would take a toll on ANY quarterback. It's unnatural. Even the military offers significant R&R periods to wind down and get regrounded. He paid a heavy price to be the best, as most great athletes do. Now, he's past it, Thank God. I say…Let the boy play ball and get out of his personal space. Lol
Time will tell. I think, THIS is his year to emerge as a force to reckon with.…"The Ram of the future". But...to keep that train on the tracks...McVay and Stafford need to put an offense together in 2025, for both of em to keep their jobs.
IMO....McVay doesn't carry as much weight & value as he did 2 or 3 years ago. Which makes this whole Stafford, Bennett, Garrapolo situation.…"unstable", for the time being.
Lol...like CFB has become ...the NFL is a hard animal to read from year to year. Mainly because of the seemingly Neverending Turnover in personnel. B
