John Wolford

I know...another QB thread.  Wolford looked competent in his limited playing time with the Rams, and it was clear McVay liked his skill set over Goffs.  He’s mobile and the players liked his leadership.  Would you be opposed to giving up a mid round pick for him?

If a 6th is a mid-round pick. 

Honestly, I'd rather have Minshew or Darnold for a mid-round pick if we could swing it. Not sure that we could for Darnold, but we should be able to get better value for Minshew. Wofford hasn't done enough to warrant a mid-rounder (or enough to really warrant consideration at all IMO).

Minshew would be an interesting pick up and a 6th for Wolford wouldn't hurt. Either way, we can't roll with Teddy going into training camp.

People keep saying that we can't roll with Teddy, but that's easy. When you start looking at the real world practicality of it, then you realize that the likes of a Wofford or even a Minshew aren't guaranteed to beat Teddy out in a competition to lead the team. I'd think Minshew would have a realistic chance to do it, but I wouldn't bet on Wofford...at all, or some other guys that have been mentioned.

I get it. But I think at this point, we know what we have with Teddy. The appeal of bringing in a Mishew/Wolford type..we are betting on ourselves that our coaching staff can get more out of them. Teddy worked for N.O..but for reason's unknown, hasn't worked out for us. Either way, Teddy's limitations were apparent and its the future of the franchise. especially with our WR core. I suppose we have the same problem as at least half of the NFL (seeking a long term QB). As far as Wolford goes...I just want anyone that can at least throw the ball deep, or attempt to.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
