Draft Stetson Bennett as our backup.

[TC in St. Louis]

The kid is a winner.  He's projected as anywhere from a 5th round pick to priority undrafted free agent.  You probably know his story and how hard he worked to become the quarterback for the national champs.  At some point we're gonna have to get somebody for the backup role.  He'd be on a rookie contract, and might be a great choice.

[dorquemada]

He's 39 years old but still has something in the tank

[DrDawkinstein]

Big UGA fan here. No.

[GunnerBill]

I do think there is merit in the Bills taking a backup QB somewhere later in the draft or at least seeking out a UDFA who has an actual shot to compete in pre-season. 

 

But no to Bennett. No to Georgia game managers. I still have Fromm flashbacks. 

[H2o]

He's like 5'10", weighs 185lbs, and is older than Josh. Pass. 

[dorquemada]

maybe if he has elevator cleats

Yeah, hard pass.  He's like a Doug Flutie without the Doug Flutie, lol.

That guy knows he doesn't have what it takes to play in the NFL and is just milking his college gig for everything it's got.

 

Also Stetson Bennett just sounds like what ChatGPT would return if you asked it "What is the most football name for a player you can think of?"

[since79]

Not sure I like him, but 31 teams would not waste a pick on Brock Purdy. So why not.   

[MrEpsYtown]

Yeah I think our backup winds up being Case Keenum another year.  I could see a returning Mitch Trubisky, Sam Darnold, or Kyle Allen when the Texans probably cut him after the draft.

 

No interest in Bennett. Bennett is just a older, less talented Jake Fromm. He is really actually older than Fromm which is amazing to me. 

 

I'd rather they draft and develop a guy at some point, with real upside. Still an older prospect, but I like his upside is Hendon Hooker. Probably avalable very late in the draft coming off that injury. I like his game and he has that upside that seems worth developing.

I already hired him as my tax accountant.

All I know is I would hate my parents forever if they named me after cheap cologne.

I'm an UGA fan, but certainly this is correct. I don't know that we even have the luxury of a late round pick on a qb, but I think Max Duggan could be worth a flier.

Just because a player comes from a top college program doesn't make him a  winner

STOP IT!! (in my Katt Williams voice)

25 years old.  You can do better and younger in the draft or FA.

George Kittle

Stephon Diggs

Tyreek Hill 

 

were taken in 5th round. No sense in wasting a potential pick on a backup QB when we have Allen. 
 

We need to find the next Hill or Diggs

[Mr. WEO]

as a backup, hell yes.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

He's the same size as Bryce Young
