Are Rams better at backup quarterback with Stetson Bennett than Brett Rypien?

Entering the 2024 offseason, there were a lot of questions surrounding the Los Angeles Rams quarterback room behind Matthew Stafford. Following a disastrous experience with Brett Rypien starting a game last season, it seemed as though head coach Sean McVay and co. had learned their lesson.

In a Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers, the Rams were forced to start Rypien. The Rams offense scored three points while Rypien went 13-for-28 for 130 yards with an interception. He finished the game with an EPA per play of -0.336.

Almost immediately, the Rams went out and signed Carson Wentz for the rest of the season and it was a move that paid off.
