The Los Angeles Rams have taken a lot of criticism for how they handled the backup quarterback position this season. Following Matthew Stafford’s thumb injury against the Dallas Cowboys, the team was forced to turn to Brett Rypien against the Green Bay Packers. The Rams ended up losing that game and the following week, they signed quarterback Carson Wentz.
It can be argued that Brett Rypien should have never been put in that situation and that the Rams should have had a better backup plan much sooner. Yes, it’s true that they drafted Stetson Bennett in the fourth-round of the NFL Draft.
