I don’t believe any of us want Bennett to fail but reading through this thread it seems to show that he really doesn’t pass the eye test or the stats test. The hope test and the blame his linemates test seem to be the only two he passes.

If we remove ourselves from considering his draft position he’s ok. If he was a third round pick and was producing as he is we’d be happy with that. It’s just so hard to recocile his total lack of production with his status as the highest pick this team has ever had.
