He had a great day in shorts and looked good. However, I think his age, weight, height, and arm length will push him back well past round 2. He will be drafted as a backup in round 4.

Does a team winning automatically mean a specific player played well?

Was Peyton Manning good his last year just because his team won a Super Bowl? Because what I remember was Brock Osweiler being better than him because his back was literally broken

No, but Stetson Bennett objectively played extremely well.

Its funny... there are some on here that would rather die than give deserving credit where it is due. Even if Bennett goes in the 1st round he'll still have folks like you on here trying to find something wrong with him or put him down, whether it's warranted or not.
Me on the other hand, I am smart. I see greatness and give praise where and when it's due. I have nothing bad to say about Young or Stroud or others even though I am a rival fan of their team. It doesn't hurt my pride one bit to say that BY is a great QB and will prob go high in the draft. And I'm also smart enough to admit that Bennett is alot better than most on here are willing to admit...but that's just me....

Sure, he did. Well enough to get drafted with any kind of meaningful draft capital? No.

OP is implying he should be drafted higher than he will be, or at least higher than Will Levis, yet Stetson hasn't shown anything on tape to end up drafted higher than any of the top guys. Therefore, his best performance in terms of his draft stock was in shorts and a T-shirt. I'm glad we agree.

I would argue that he played plenty well enough but measurables keep him out of that conversations.

No one would reasonably argue that Will Levis or Anthony Richardson actually played better than Stetson Bennett this season.

Those quotes are going to look great hanging on the wall of his State Farm office. Or is it Nationwide?

Dang dude, that's a comment only an ignorant, butthurt, sore-losing Auburn fan would make. If I was you, I'd...oh wait....nevermind.

No one would reasonably argue that Will Levis or Anthony Richardson had the team around them that Stetson did either

Just knowing you have a lockdown defense where you don't feel like you have to score every possession changes the entire context of what you're asked to do in an offense as a QB. He did light it up vs Ohio St, but so did JJ McCarthy who a) isn't a 25 year old Super Senior and b) Michigan basically kept on a leash until that game.

I didn't claim he sucked in a single game he played

Plenty of time to throw the ball very hard in practice for 2 years.

He DID have a lockdown D around him and didn't have to light it up every game, and STILL threw for over 4000 yds. Imagine what he would have done if he would have had to really air it out!

He’s a gamer.

If he’s sitting there, at some points the Falcons should give him a look.

Might sell some tickets.

Are people going to buy tickets to watch him on the sideline?

I think he should get a look and a shot, but reasonably teams are looking at longevity, too. Guy is 4 years in front of a bunch of dudes who might be lucky to get 6-7 year careers.

Yeah, I'd say AR has probably a good shot at a 6-7 year career...as a backup tightend.

This guy is going to be a good pro…
He processes well, has an extremely accurate arm and is a good leader..his arm strength is better than people give him credit for
I would take him over Richardson any day of the week.
Too many times pro teams go by upside instead of production.
Drafting Richardson ahead of Bennet will be a mistake
