JOHN WOLFORDQB, LOS ANGELES RAMS

John Wolford appears set to start for the Rams in Week 14 against the Raiders.

Wolford led the team out of the tunnel before taking snaps with starting center Brian Allen. Although not confirmed, it appears as if he is in line to start for the Rams with all three quarterbacks on the roster active for Thursday Night Football against the Raiders.

My kicker....my man

FG 40-49yds=4pts 50+yds=6pts

I cannot believe they are even dressing Baker, let alone playing him.

totally irresponsible.  he cant possibly know enough of the playbook to succeed here.

dude isnt that good when he does know the playbook.  I cant imagine playing him when he doesnt

He has made some nice throws.

Carr

[Law 220]

It seems like I've been going against Jacobs for a month! Ever since he's been "hurt" and ripping it up.

He certainly has been ripping me up!

Carr

You really have to scratch your head sometimes. One minute he looks like Joe Montana, the next he morphs into JaMarcus Russell.

There's no crying in football. Dude is weak 

[easilyscan 552]

Tape up that finger and get back in there Josh. Your team needs you!

[LaChup 154]

Jacobs is like the hitchhiker on Twilight Zone. He is on everyone's team, ever week. Starts out with an injury report, then he ends up first ballot HOF each week. It's starting to affect me.

fair enough.  but that is pure athletic ability.  hes always had the talent.  his issue has typically been between his ears.

dumb reads and poor choices in terms of where to throw the ball.

hes also had a tendency to look down his receivers which leads to picks.   but he doesnt know the playbook so perhaps this is better for him because even he doesnt know where hes going with the ball.   good luck to a defense figuring it out.

[shorepatrol 1,734]

Need one more reception for a couple yards Jacobs!!!

He's a weak baby mentally

Daniel Carlson getting me good point from the Kicker position as he does most weeks.

Mayfield's throws look really good.

Really? He looks like he has for the last 3 years. Es no bueno still

I cant disagree.  I'm sure that plays a role too.   

Baker has a few flaws.   many of which are correctable flaws potentially with the right coach.   but so far I have not seen it.

We get bonus for long fg's. That 52yarder was 6pts.

Carr is mentally weak. Baker is a career backup

Carr is among the leaders among active QB's in 4th quarter or overtime game winning drives.    that stat tells me you're wrong about him.

Baker probably is a career backup.  I dont like him, but given how much time hes had to learn this offense I'll say todays performance was a heroic one. For a guy who saw the playbook for the first time 2 days ago this is an amazing performance.

at the NFL level, thats a huge accomplishment.

The only thing these 2 have accomplished is getting rich. Like most nfl players.

you could say that about every NFL player in the league.   if you are on the active roster,  you're making some serious cash.

[jrokh 567]

Baker looked great for a guy who just showed up yesterday…

[gcmmidwest 98]

Better then Stafford

I honestly cant believe what I just saw.   is this the same Baker Mayfield we all know and feel Meh about?

[Law 220]

The Raiders should fire their coach in the post-game press conference. He shouldn't even be allowed to fly back with the team.

I didn't get to see the game. Did he !@#$ up clock management or something ?

Baker and Akers, eating cakers.

well, the defense really crapped the bed on the last 2 drives of the  game.  lots of bad penalties.    and some bad play calls too

He lost to the Rams!

With NO offensive weapons and a QB that arrived two days ago!

Blowing a 4th quarter 13 point lead to a sh*tty team with a QB they picked up 2 days prior should do it.

[Ray_T 587]

the undisciplined penalties really opened the door.  then one or two nice plays on offense and that was it.

[nobody 2,031]

Didn't the Saints just blow a 16-3 lead with 5 minutes left on Monday?
