I’ve been debating myself watching these two in the PS and i haven’t come to a conclusion yet. Both have gotten hot streaks and made some plays. Need some help!!

I was thinking Allen, but Wolford sure looked good tonight. Glad I dont have to make the final decision, hopefully 1 of them will make it to the PS.

As a #3 emergency guy? Wolford. He's got that escapability and movement i like in a backup.

Unfortunately, neither. Rams are only going to carry 2 QB's imo, just too many other depth players who are looking pretty great. We are bound to lose one of them to waivers, possibly both.
Like Reynolds, if some team offered a high draft pick for him, I'd trade Bortles, keep Allen and try to hide Wolford. To put it simply, I'd be happy to keep either one.

Wolford in my opinion is slightly better due to his athleticism. Allen hasn’t improved one bit in the two years he has been with the Rams. So based on those two reasons alone I would go with Wolford, but only in the Practice Squad.

Allen overthrew receivers, bad reads, threw high balls he did same in previous game as well.

Wolford was steady, solid and drove team well.

It''s Wolford for me.

Ever since I saw him at camp I really liked how he threw the ball.

He was one of my picks to make the team as an underdog.

Blah blah. It's a poll. Vote or be quiet. Plus you get free ROD credits just for voting.

He couldn’t even beat out Mannion! And you say he was improving?
Yeah. He looks better than last year. He looked better last game on some throws, and even better tonight. So, yeah...better

My biggest issue with Allen is how high he throws the ball, receivers seem to constantly need to be jumping up to catch the ball and that can get guys hurt.

I prefer Wolford, throws a better ball more consistently. BUT... I'd keep neither. I want an extra wideout instead.

IMO after being on the Ram's PS, Allen should be better than he is. His accuracy is inconsistent and he lacks touch at times. He's in his 3rd year for god sake. Cut Allen and see what Wolford looks like next year after being on the PS. I've never liked Allen and clearly, he's not the kind of QB McVay wants. Good decision making and most of all accuracy are what McVay wants in his QB.

Most of all it's clear after 3 games that Allen didn't do anything to improve himself in the offseason. It's not like there aren't places he can train to work on his mechanics, accuracy and decision making. When Brees was struggling in SD he went to a performance center in Carlsbad and it changed his career. It's obvious to me Allen hasn't done that. If he's content to be a backup talent, then let him go be a backup for someone else.

Allen.
And it’s not that close.
More decisive. Better touch. Led receivers pretty well. Plays better in the pocket.
His passes seems to float high a little bit.
Needs to get his elbow up a bit probably.
I was impressed with him the last two weeks.
It’s against backups playing a pretty vanilla defense, but, he got the ball out on time for the most part.
It’s not close.

I vote neither. Both are PS eligible, plus the new XFL might be hiring.

true plus that leads to tipped passes that usually ends up in the hands of the defense, that deep ball to Thomas last night did look good though

I think Wolford is really fun to watch play. But I honestly think his height and his launch point ultimately hold him back.

He throws a really nice ball. Has a really fast and tight release. However due to his height he is going to get the ball batted down a ton and/or not have throwing lanes.
