I agree that Wolf may be a better short term solution as a game manager under the current system. However, if Stafford goes down for an extended period of time I don't think we can win crap with Wolf. With Perkins McVay can modify the offense somewhat and utilize Perkins ability to run and throw to put pressure on defenses.
My question still stands: What have we ever seen from Wolf that makes you believe the Rams can win with him at QB if God forbid something happens to Stafford? I have an easier time projecting Perkins as a winning QB than I do Wolf. I would agree if I had to have one of the come in a finish off a game Wolf would probably be the safer choice. Over 5 games it would be Perkins and IMO it's not even close.
Well, first let me stipulate that neither Wolford nor Perkins are anywhere close to Stafford level. Few QB’s are.
And that Rams are in deep doo-doo if Stafford is out for extended time.
However…
If Wolford is playing behind our STARTING OL and if McVay customizes his game plan a little bit, I really think Wolford could execute the fundamental McVay game plan. Perkins cannot. He just can’t because his is such a different style. Now, he might be able to be effective just enough with a major overhaul of the game plan by McVay. But that’s a more drastic adjustment for the other 10 players on O at a time when they least need drastic changes.
Nope. Wolford is the better choice for backup in THIS system.
