Wentz did a great job against the Niners backups last year but he wasn’t exactly stellar passing the ball. He did a lot with his legs which isn’t the Rams offensive style and not exactly a recipe for longevity in the NFL. I suspect Garrappolo came in much cheaper and he knows the offense. Wentz will likely wait for another opportunity elsewhere because I don’t think he was too comfortable about being in LA.
You didn’t think Wentz’s two TD passed to Nacua & Tyler Johnson were not extraordinary? Plus his throw to Hopkins down the sideline & the two point conversion to Atwell were excellent too.
I never said he didn't make some throws. But he also threw an Int and he threw the 2pt conversion to win the game. But the majority of his best plays were running the ball. Wentz had 17 runs that game, Stafford 21 on the season.
17-24 163 yards passing. 2 TD 1 INT. 17 carries 56 yards. Against the Niners backups. I love what Wentz did in the game but I don’t think that’s exactly what the Rams were looking for. 17 completions and 17 rushing attempts is not exactly running the Rams offense. You want your backup QB to be comfortable in your offense so you don’t have to make major changes should your starter is out. And I don’t believe Wentz wants to be a backup. He’s going to wait things out and if a starter is hurt in the NFL he would have an opportunity. Wentz would be a perfect backup for Josh Allen. Huge player who runs the ball frequently.
The Rams most important player is a 36-year old QB who is as tough as they come, and will take brutal hits.
If there’s any silver lining. We were the only fans to ever have seen Donald on their team. I would hate seeing him in another uniform. He is definately on the Mount Rushmore of NFL defensive players.
I hear you. Good observation, and very true statement. And it's part of the NFL. But this still really sucks.
