If you were told at the beginning of the 2020 season that the Rams would have a quarterback controversy on their hands for the playoffs, you’d undoubtedly laugh. You’d wonder who would possibly be good enough to push Jared Goff – a guy the Rams paid $134 million – for playing time under center, given the team’s lack of talent and experience behind him on the depth chart.
But here we are in the first week of 2021, with the Rams facing a legitimately difficult decision at the most important position in sports. Do they ride the hot hand with John Wolford, who helped lead the Rams to a Week 17 victory over the Cardinals? Or do they go back to the guy who has led them for the last four years?
Regardless of who the Rams pick, it’ll be the defense that needs to carry this team in the postseason. But there are pros and cons to each side of the debate, with each quarterback bringing different things to the table.
