Look as of late the quarterback play has been sub par course it can get worse but even an average game from Wolford is an improvement from what we have gotten lately.
That being said we not only need Wolford to be a game manager or better we are down running backs. I mean I wasn't expecting much from this team after what I've seen recently beside the defense coming to play every game which in itself can win you a game or two but I am intrigued a bit to see Wolford and hopefully see what Jones can do.
The circumstances are what they are so got to get interested in seeing what we have and if I'm mcvay it's balls to the wall screw a simpler playbook. I open it all up nothing to lose. Might relieve some pressure on coach and maybe the offense in general.
Fingers crossed guys!!
Is CJ Anderson available?

Well, it's on John Wolford to lead the team on Sunday. The rest of the squad better step up and get us to the playoffs.

Yeah, I noticed that and it pissed me off as well. If one of my developers is in my office (or on Zoom these days), and I'm telling him what's what, I'd fire him if he was looking off in the distance not listening.

Glad to see people are getting pissed off at something they can't even confirm to be true. :rolleyes:

I think we could be dangerous for a game or two with a QB nobody has video on. But after that, who knows?!

The bad news? Wolford is a backup who has never taken a meaningful NFL snap. The good news? The Cardinals really won't know what to expect with him. McVay should get creative this week. It sounds like Goff could be back for the playoffs. Use this game to throw out a bunch of stuff the Cards haven't seen us run often or ever (because of Goff's limited mobility).

Watch the video. I don't think it's accurate to say that McVay didn't open up the playbook for Goff. You design an offense around what you have (at least the good coaches do). If you don't have a mobile QB, you don't design an offense around a QB's mobility. With Wolford, you can incorporate more plays that make use of mobility. But Wolford has other limitations that Goff doesn't. Watch the intermediate sideline throws from the pocket. He simply doesn't have anything close to Jared's zip. That's going to force McVay to take some plays out that Goff can make but Wolford can't. That's not a knock on Wolford. It's simply what good play-callers do.

I also think Murray is playing hurt right now. Wolford should have some time to get a little comfortable even if things don't go smoothly right off the bat.

Nah there's too many assholes interested in criticizing people than to be impressed with what he did. Some of the comments about him recently really hit the lowest common denominator.

I didn't see you involved in the "discussions" yesterday. Like you i should have steered clear of this site after the game but i just enjoy reading about the Rams so much, good times or bad.

Even though it was depressing sifting through all the complaining about goff there was still some interesting stuff out there.

Kingsbury was apparently talking about keeping Murray in the pocket if he plays. This is the game where our defense needs to drag us to a win.

Glad to hear they're optimistic about Akers. We need him so I hope he's ready to go.

I’d give more credit to McVay than Goff on those winning seasons. Football is won by coaches.

Coaches can hold players back just as much as they can make them succeed.

look at Goff under fisher compared to the next year under McVay.
So mcvay gets credit for the wins and then Todd gets the credit for the loses .. gotcha
