Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has cast doubt on Stetson Bennett's potential as a starting quarterback for the team. In discussing the Rams' quarterback situation for 2026, McVay emphasized that Bennett is viewed primarily as a backup. He acknowledged that Bennett has improved under quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone but did not offer strong endorsements, particularly when compared to veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, whom McVay has described as a starting-caliber player. The Rams are actively seeking another passer to support Matthew Stafford, indicating that Bennett's future role could be limited. Currently, he is the only quarterback under contract as the team navigates Stafford's contract negotiations. The Rams previously showed interest in Garoppolo and Kirk Cousins, but both options have become less viable, leaving Bennett as a potential backup if no other quarterbacks are acquired.
