"John's done a great job preparing himself all year," McVay said Monday. "If you watch the way that he's worked at it, I know there's confidence from coaches and from his teammates and guys will need to rally around him, but we're excited about the opportunity that John will have to lead the offense this week."

He's got some Doug Flutie-type stuff to him," McVay said after Wolford demonstrated an ability to extend plays in gamelike scenarios.

As Goff's backup this season, Wolford has continued much of his scout-team duty, providing looks for the Rams' top-ranked defense.
Wolford spent the 2019 season on the Rams' practice squad, mimicking each quarterback the team prepared for -- from the New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees to the Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson, even as McVay joked, "We'll see if he found some extra speed," during Baltimore week.

After he went undrafted from Wake Forest -- where he started four seasons and passed for 8,794 yards and 59 touchdowns, the second-most in school history, and also rushed for 19 scores while winning the Belk Bowl MVP as a senior in 2017 -- the Jets wanted to sign him.

Nearly three months later, Wolford began to earn the Rams' attention when he lit up the Alliance of American Football (AAF) with the Arizona Hotshots, passing for 1,617 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns, with seven interceptions, in eight games and twice earned offensive player of the week honors.

By the end of the day he will be better than Mitch or Nick......watch
Didn’t you accuse me of turning every thread into a Mitch thread?

If one sits back and thinks about it from the most important position on the field; they'd puke

Bears playoff hopes depend on:

Trubisky/Wolford
To beat
Rodgers/Murray

I'm not....but think I'd prefer him to Wolford
It’s the Rams defense that Murray should be worried about. Even though the cardinals defense is decent they aren’t nearly as good as the Rams defense..it ought to be a good game and we will see what kind of guru McVay really is
