I don’t need to take up anything with them, but I get your point.
I know the history of this offense which is why I chronicled it. I know what it is.
Moreover, much of why Wentz actually got any play to the Rams as early as he did was because NDSU runs a run-heavy WCO variant that has VERY similar elements to the quasi-WCO run-heavy offense the Rams run.
The parallels allowed for substantial overlap which is why Wentz, the inferior passer with less experience, was seen as the superior option for the Rams by most of the voices I trust like Cosell, Mayock and several others including being mobile and being able to create after a play breaks down.
/shrug.
Point is that with the focus on the Rams for some time, there wasn’t any question the Rams ran a WCO. I call it a “quasi-WCO” because it still has vestiges of the Schotty Coryell elements. Enough seem to have been purged that it’s definitely MORE of a WCO and recognized by those that dissect it as a WCO, but it has…other elements.
It’s a bit of a Franken-offense. Mostly a WCO, though.
Yet given the opportunity to pick Wentz, they didn’t. They went with Goff because he better fit the Air Coryell offense of the Rams. If there’s any vestiges of a system it would be of the WCO run by Spags which Bradford had his first year then the change to Air Coryell with Fisher. Face it there’s nothing left on offense from Spags.
The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.
Sprinkles are for winners.
