He’s got a stronger arm, for sure.
But plenty o’ warts
Which counts for a lot.
This a no risk, possible high reward move by the Rams.
Very rarely can a team pick up a first round talent without giving anything up.
Mayfield is mobile and can run, but, more important than just tucking and running, he is good at buying time and sliding.
On those roll out throws Wolford had some bigger plays there to be made but he would wait to throw the ball....I think this is because of lack of arm strength. Harder to fit the ball into windows....need that receiver to clear just a little further.....and those two steps prevent yac.
I was indifferent to the Mayfield signing at first. I like it now. Nothing to lose and perhaps you land a good back up or even possible replacement if Stafford doesn't play out his contract.
