In my eyes he had better peripheral vision and was able to read defenses better than Jared Goff.
People have different views and that's fine. But I don't know how you rate Wolford so highly in that situation. Facing 9 Arizona qb pressures, he had a qb rating of 64.7 and completed 57.9% of his passes for 5.86 yards per attempt. 5 weeks earlier against the same defense, facing 16 qb pressures, Goff had a qb rating of 104.9 and completed 78.7% of his passes for 7.5 yards per attempt (which while not great is better than less than 6). McVay even recently singled that game out as one of the games where they depended on Goff to win. The comparison is very stark. On top of it Murray could score in the earlier game (28 points) so the Rams offense had to score to win. In the Wolford game, Murray split the qb snaps with Steveler, and Arizona only scored once all game which means there was less real competition.
Wolford can maybe develop, and there's nothing that says he can't, but, what I saw (and the numbers back it) he did not show much in that game as a passer. In fact the defense scored half of their points (safety, pick 6)...while the offense kicked 3 FGs, that's it.
How can you presumably read defenses better and yet have a vastly lower completion percentage (for far fewer yards per attempt). Against fewer pressures.
