The Los Angeles Rams have gone digging via the crates and give you a brand new quarterback. In accordance with a number of sources, the Rams have signed free agent QB Carson Wentz. The previous No. 2 total choose in 2016 final suited up for Washington and was left on the sideline throughout the offseason.

Wentz began seven video games for the Commanders final 12 months, successful simply two, throwing for 1,755 yards with 11 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. The prior season in Indianapolis was a lot better, however when the staff didn’t make the postseason, dropping their final two video games, proprietor Jim Irsasy had seen sufficient of Wentz and despatched him packing.

Wanting again on the 2016 draft, Wentz was seen as a franchise QB who can be top-of-the-line within the NFL sooner or later. Nicely, that day by no means got here and Wentz is now seen as a washout. Some may name him a bust, however he has had a few good seasons the place it seemed like he would flip the nook.

One of the important components with Wentz on every staff he’s performed for within the NFL, is the dearth of management and total angle. There’s simply one thing about Wentz that has turned most individuals off about him in any respect three stops. With the Colts, it may’ve been extra about Irsay’s impatience, however both manner, it didn’t work out, and Wentz was performed after one marketing campaign.

So, for the Rams to select up Wentz, it should be dangerous. Though Matt Stafford is harm, he may return for LA’s Week 11 tilt with Seattle, based on stories. Stafford missed Sunday’s loss to Inexperienced Bay with a thumb damage. Brett Rypien crammed in and the offense put up a discipline purpose. Having a veteran, former starter and Professional Bowler like Wentz on the roster provides the teaching workers extra confidence if Stafford misses any extra video games.

That is Wentz’s third, second likelihood to remain within the good graces of the league. For the reason that Rams are on a bye in Week 10, this can give Wentz the prospect to get caught up on the playbook in case Stafford can’t go the next week. Wentz may not give this group the perfect likelihood, however expertise ought to depend for one thing. And any time Wentz will get on the sector with the Rams must be thought-about a showcase for the remainder of the NFL.

Baker Mayfield was in a position to parlay his fill-in responsibility with the Rams final season right into a beginning job in Tampa Bay. Mayfield had one good recreation with the Rams in 4 begins and everybody misplaced their minds like he was the second coming of one thing nice. That’s how Wentz ought to strategy this chance if he desires one other shot at beginning on this league subsequent season.
