Rams' Stetson Bennett IV positions himself for backup QB role

As the Los Angeles Rams prepare for the upcoming season, Stetson Bennett IV appears to have solidified his standing in the backup quarterback competition. With the final preseason game approaching, Bennett has been reassured by head coach Sean McVay’s consistent praise. Despite the strong showing by rookie Ty Simpson, Bennett's experience with the Rams since 2023 places him as the likely choice for the QB2 position. Simpson will start the Rams' last preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but this does not definitively decide the backup role. Both quarterbacks have shown promise, offering depth behind starter Matthew Stafford, who remains the team's primary quarterback going forward.
