I’m almost through the 3rd qtr.

It’s not just his throws that are impressive–and keep in mind this was his first game back from the wrist injury–the guy can MOVE! I don’t know if the Rams have had a QB with that sort of skill since—well–I don’t know.

i’m at the end of the first quarter. people keep talking about how goff will be more pro ready his rookie year, but i’m not so sure. carson is supposed to be running a pro-style offense, and it looks like it. he plays a lot under center. can do play action. is making adjustments at the line. i remember people talking about how much it helped russell wilson that he played in a pro style offense at wisconsin. same with kirk cousins i believe.

granted. the big ten is a big step up in level of competition. still. i’m not in agreement with trading up. but now that they have. i can’t help but think that wentz should be the guy. i think he’d be a better complement to todd gurley. and when things break down, he can make plays with his feet. a lot like a russell wilson.

He gives the defense something else to think about.

It really looks like he’s running the Rams offense. NDSU seems to have a similar philosophy. I don’t know who will be the better QB over the course of their pro careers. But considering what the Rams do right now–Wentz just seems like a very good fit for them.

my guess is the offense would look very different if this wasn’t his first game back from injury but yeah i could see him running the rams offense.

he shows touch on some throws but also can fire it in when he wants to.

Watched most of the 1st 2 quarters. Wentz of course looks good. Nice find PA. I like it when you do stuff like that.

in the first half he had one interception at the end on a great great play by the defensive back. 38 seconds left, and i’m not sure he would have attempted that throw if not for how little time was left.

halftime they’re showing how many great players have come from fcs schools. some of the best of all time.

he made one really bad throw in the third quarter. just a really bad throw for an interception. but otherwise, he played a really efficient game.

and it should also be noted. he only has 3 years of experience as a starting qb – high school and college combined!

so while he does have that valuable experience playing in a pro-style offense. he could have loads of potential for improvement still! yeah. i’m liking this guy the more i think about it.
