Perhaps the biggest question to come out of the Los Angeles Rams’ 2022 season is “how were the Rams ever content with John Wolford as their primary backup quarterback?” Wolford has been in Los Angeles for four seasons and has been second on the depth chart to Jared Goff or Matthew Stafford for the last three.
We saw very little of the quarterback prior to this season. In 2020 he played a game and a half while Goff was nursing a broken thumb on his throwing hand, and Sean McVay even appeared to bench Goff in favor of Wolford for the team’s wildcard game against the Seattle Seahawks - though Wolford took a big hit on a designed running play and Goff came in to get the team a victory.
