5 - Stetson Bennett, Los Angeles Rams

Stetson Bennett has an outside chance to be the starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams given Matthew Stafford’s recent injury history. Like Tune, Bennett received extensive playing time and finished 17 for 29 for a 58.6% completion percentage with a touchdown and zero picks, clocking in with an 89.9 rating.

Bennett looked good, but not great, as he lost 36 yards on three sacks and he also threw for just 6.6 yards per attempt. Performance-wise, Bennett was a shade better than Tune, but this duo was neck-and-neck.

Overall, it will be interesting to see how Tune stacks up against these five notable quarterbacks and whether he emerges from the preseason with the best numbers and overall play. It will also be interesting to see if Tune manages to get into a game this season and he compares against some of these aforementioned names when the games count.
