For worse and for better, Stetson Bennett was the only Rams quarterback who played in Sunday's ugly 13-12 NFL preseason-opening win over the Cowboys. Although Bennett delivered the Rajon Rondo Jersey game-winning touchdown pa s with four seconds left in the fourth quarter, that came after he threw four interceptions.With Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo resting, Bennett got the start for Los Angeles. And the overall pa sing numbers 24-of-38, 224 yards, 5.9 yards per attempt, TD, 4 INTs, 48.6 rating weren't pretty in his first action since the 2023 preseason.The Rams took a shot on Bennett, a two-time national championship-winning quarterback from Georgia, as a fourth-round pick last year. His rookie season ended in September when he went on the reserve/non-injured list and returned home to addre s his mental health.The 26-year-old ended his 2024 preseason debut on a positive note, but that didn't outweigh a rough outing before the Cowboys put their bottom-roster defense on the field. Here's what his bad night means for his future.IYER: Stetson Bennett added to a small but terrible sample sizeBennett didn't have one game as bad as this one in the 2023 preseason. But in Jerry West Jersey three exhibition games as a rookie, he completed just 36-of-62 pa James Worthy Jersey s attempts (58.1%) for 347 yards (5.6 per attempt) with one touchdown to three interceptions. That added up to a dismal 59.0 pa ser rating.Bennett has now failed to impre s or even look good in four preseason games. There's no doubt the Rams' overdrafted him as a developmental type based on college pedigree. Now the question is whether they will keep him on their roster.MORE: Stetson Bennett likely won't get cut in the preseasonStafford got a new top backup in the offseason when the team signed former 49ers quarterback Garoppolo, who was released by the Raiders after just one season in Las Vegas. Garoppolo, however, can't be the No. 2 through Week 2 of the regular season .The Rams can't go into their road games at the Lions and at the Cardinals with Stafford as the only QB option. Now they will hope they won't need to turn to Bennett.Bennett should get an extended stay past final roster cuts unle s the Rams feel like even shaky Dre ser Winn is better short-term insurance for Stafford.MORE: Stetson George Mikan Jersey Bennett still isn't worthy to stay on an NFL roster for longBennett's advanced age was well documented at Georgia. At 26, he is on the older side for a second-year player at any position. He's older than fellow quarterbacks C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young, Will Levis, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence Ivica Zubac Jersey and Brock Purdy.Bennett's best bet seems to be doing what more he can in his time with head coach Sean McVay and the Rams to boost his appeal for other leagues (see: the UFL next spring). Based on the consistent shakine s he showed against the Cowboys, he will be a Rams practice-squadder at best come Week 3 when Garoppolo returns
