I don't know about you but I think it's time for McVay to end his bromance with Wolford and coach up Perkins as #2. Wolford has come down to earth with his play IMO. They saw enough potential in Bryce to sign him. I think it's time to see what they have. I'm only saying from here on out the games become far more important. They need a backup QB who can take that position to the next level. They wasted that opportunity to give him game reps against Houston. There might be another when they play the Jaguars in week 13.
I really liked what I saw in Perkins in pre-season. He showed a lot of developmental progress in just one year. He still needs work on working through his progressions but he looked better than Tre Lance in doing it. He's got an adequate arm for all the throws out to 20 yards with good accuracy. I love his compact quick release, something Stafford doesn't always have.
I know a lot are laughing at this, but Perkins is better than most realize. It's exactly why he's on the roster and isn't in AZ, Seattle, or SF. Frankly, I would rather see a quick-strike passing offense between 5-20 yds than a deep- strike oriented offense. With Kupp, Woods, and Jefferson, they can tack on big YAC.
If McVay's the genius people say he is, I think he should evolve his offense into that quick-strike passing scheme and rely upon the YAC to get the big play. Stafford can do it because he can read defenses and occasionally throw that deep strike to keep the safeties honest. McVay didn't adjust his passing attack until the third quarter. That entire first half Stafford was still reading deep to short instead of adjusting to short to deep. That's why he was slow in getting his passes off.
If McVay does that then he will have an offense tailored to both Stafford and Perkins. Right now neither Perkins nor Wolford can play this offensive scheme as it is. Bryce has the talent to play in the NFL, the Rams should use him by getting him ready to play. A good backup QB is top trade bait.
