With the Rams locked into both the sixth or seventh seed within the NFC, Head Coach Sean McVay acknowledged that beginning quarterback Matthew Stafford won’t play to relaxation and get better and prepare for the playoffs. Wentz will likely be making his first begin since final season when he began a couple of video games for the Washington Commanders earlier than being benched. He was lately signed to be the backup to Stafford in wake of what the opposite backup quarterbacks did when Stafford received harm.
It stays to be seen if different starters together with Stafford sit out the ultimate recreation of the common season. Perhaps a number of the older gamers like a Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald could not play the whole lot of the sport. Wentz nonetheless has one thing left within the tank and it will likely be fascinating to see what he can do on this specific offensive scheme. McVay mainly revitalized the profession of Baker Mayfield when he performed a couple of recreation for the Rams final yr. Why not say the identical for Carson Wentz? That consequence could also be too far-fetched however something is feasible on that entrance. If not a starter, then a serviceable backup within the NFL.
The Los Angeles Rams are +4000 to win the Tremendous Bowl in line with California sportsbooks.
Carson Wentz beginning towards this San Francisco 49ers protection will likely be a great audition for him to doubtlessly be a starter once more within the NFL. On the very worst, he’ll simply keep on the Rams as a possible backup quarterback possibility behind Matthew Stafford.
