Can You Trust John Wolford?

Ram money showing up today on a guy who's never thrown a pass in NFL.

I grabbed some +3.5 but will watch the betting tomorrow...

Tough call as the Rams are without Kupp and down to the 3rd string RB. McVay is 7-0 vs the Cardinals, and scored min 31 points each game.
 
Thing is Wolford wasn't even that good in NCAA until his fourth year as the starter. You think about how rare a four year starter in the NCAA is these days, that's a system QB with real limitations that hurt his pro stock. And now you have him starting a game. Normally I'd say a guy like Goff isn't worth nearly as many points as a top notch QB, but this is a situation where he's worth 4 points and then you have to dock the Rams a couple more points for not having a more ready backup available.

Reminds me of the Steeler QB this week. The floor is so low because the qb is THAT bad.

John Wolford performed well in the AAF.

That's the short-lived Alliance of American Football.

How short-lived?

Eight weeks in all.

They planned for a 10-week regular season in 2019 but there was only one problem, the league ran out of money.

The first rule of business is the same as the first rule of gambling: Never run out of money.

One creative idea from the Alliance of American Football was their first-ever player draft.

Quarterbacks only.

A four-round draft held at Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas.

Wofford was the 11th of 32 quarterbacks selected.

He was selected by the Arizona Hotshots.

John Wolford's uncle played a total of 13 seasons in the NFL for the Bills, Colts and Steelers.

Will Wolford was named a member of the Pro Bowl team three times in the decade of the '90's.

Will, an offensive lineman, was listed at 6-5 while nephew John is only 5-11 1/2.

Murray isnt healthy, isnt accurate, only qb with less accuracy is his sooner teammate jalen hurts. woolford is a dual threat too out of wake forest i think

probably an upgrade, Rams are a screen and hitch team so timing less relevant

for sure an upgrade. Reminds me of Flutie and Rob Johnson, Goff better than rob and flutie better than wolford but still a big upgrade imo
