5 NFL teams that are going to wish they drafted Stetson Bennett IV

The combination of Jordan Love with Sean Clifford backing him up is so scary…

Look. I want Jordan Love to succeed. He paid his dues backing up Aaron Rodgers the last three years with the Green Bay Packers. While he was a first-round draft pick for a reason out of Utah State, so much has changed since what, 2018? General manager Brian Gutekunst has hitched his wagon to this guy for whatever reason. Hopefully, it works out for him. If not, we Love a tire fire!

But to me, the biggest issue I have is who is backing up Love. It is a lot of Danny Etlings and Sean Cliffords. Etling can run, but throwing the ball is not really his forte. Good for Clifford to be playing professionally instead of selling insurance for State Farm. That still feels inevitable, but keep chasing the dream, bro! In the meantime, the Packers offer no margin for error under center now.

The reason why I think Bennett would have been a good fit for the Packers is he would have not only pushed Love to be better, but he could have been a lesser version of Rodgers for them. His arm may not be Rodgers’ but he thrives in winning time and is never afraid to ad-lib. Love may work best being on-script, but that could result in something far too bland for the Cheeseheads.

At worst, Bennett could have used Matt LaFleur’s running game to help open up the passing lanes.
