I got to give McVay/Snead the edge on this, something tells me their draft history is better than yours.... lol
2 years ago they were looking for a potential backup QB. If they see something in a QB this year who they can build in to the heir apparent to Stafford, I trust them entirely

Do you think Bennett is a backup QB that can win games if Stafford were to miss half a season with injury? I never did, and that was before his leave of absence. It’s not as if every draft pick Snead and McVay have ever made has panned out. They have made some bad picks.

I dont think Bennett was ever considered to be the eventual replacement but to be a mere Wolford 2.0. I hated the pick, he was literally the last QB from that draft I wanted. But from his first start in pre-season I think you saw all McVay wanted. A pre-season starter, a guy who could come in and run around and make a few plays. At that point in McVay's coaching career, other than last game of season meaningless play, his backup barely did a thing and didnt hold much value. Really wasnt until they went with JG that they truly valued the #2. And with the makeup of the team, if they draft a QB it would play out entirely different. We've seen McVay grow as a coach year over year, this role is no different

So you agree? It wasn’t a good pick.

A backup QB has other responsibilities, but that’s a big one. That was the one pick in that draft that I didn’t like. I think Wolford was a better backup. It felt like a throw away. Like the only thing they considered was that he’s a gamer who came up big in some big spots, despite his limitations, so let’s give him a shot.

At the very least you need them to be able to manage a game, while you use a conservative game plan and try to win with defense and running. I don’t even think Bennett was capable of that.

In hindsight? Obviously not. At the time? He wasnt drafted to spend his first year at Betty Ford clinic so shit happens.
In any event, in case you missed the rest of my post McVay has been evolving as a HC and how he now views the QB position. I'm here for it. Who knows if Bennett played well enough they may not have went with Garopollo and where we are today

Hindsight? You said you hated the pick? Which is it?

Whether I liked the pick or not has nothing to do with it being a good pick or not. Like I've said repeatedly is what was important to McVay then isnt the same as it is now, so the pick of Bennett is irrelevant. In any event, it appears you are looking for an argument here, frankly I'm not interested.

Cleveland is going to take Shough at 33
The Giants are going to trade up and draft Dart
Milroe is still a wild card
All my opinion of course
