Rams' QB Backup: Garoppolo, Bennett, or Draft?

From NFL coverage, this is your March 20th update.

The Los Angeles Rams still need a solid backup quarterback, behind Matthew Stafford, who

turns 38 next season and has a history of injuries.

With the team gear for a Super Bowl run right now, they can't afford to go without reliable

insurance at the position.

Jimmy Garoppolo stands out as the top choice to return, especially since he's a free agent

after the Arizona Cardinals picked Jacobi Berset to start.

And signed Gardner Minchew as number two.

It seems like a natural fit, but the Rams haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Stetson Bennett enters his fourth year on the roster, and keeping him around cheaply could

be their plan B.

While many doubt his NFL potential, the team might see enough in him to step up if Stafford

misses time, saving them from spending big elsewhere.

Other names like Kurt Cousins, who has ties to coach Sean McVey, remain available after

a solid late push with the Falcons last year.

Rams brings more proven highs than Garoppolo.

The Rams recent hire of Cliff Kingsbury, as an offensive assistant, hints they might

look to the draft for a long-term successor to Stafford, balancing.

Contention now with future planning at the most critical spot.
