Carson Wentz stats no one wants to talk about

[JoeyBoy718]

The biggest issue that one can bring up with Wentz is that he only started 23 games in his college career. Goff started 37. That makes a huge difference, and some of Wentz' apparent statistical issues against pressure can be a byproduct of a lack of experience as a starter.

I have said this before: I don't think any of these QBs are day one starters. All need work of some kind to be ready (Goff needs time working under center and in an NFL offense. Weight training would also help. Wentz needs time digesting and learning the game more, as well as adjusting to a much faster athlete - on both sides of the ball. Lynch needs mechanical work as well as training in an NFL offense). I think Goff is the surest thing of the three, but has the lowest ceiling. He also has the highest floor. I also like that he's the youngest of the three, and has room to grow as well.

The thing I don't understand is, if you have elite NFL-caliber physical and mental talent, plus you play against inferior NCAA talent, plus you play on a team vastly superior to any other team in its league, shouldn't you be putting up Michael Jordan numbers? How can Goff put up crazy numbers when he's playing on one of the worst teams in the Pac 12? I know college numbers aren't everything, but when your team is that good, you should look like a man amongst boys. A lot of these QBs who put up elite numbers in college (like Kellen Moore) played on teams that were vastly superior than 90% of their opponents. Goff played on a Cal team that was the underdog in most of their games.

Wentz played in much more of a pro-style offense than Goff did. He regularly took snaps from under center, and his team was much more balanced in terms of run/pass ratio. Goff played in a run and shoot offense that tilted heavily to the pass over the run. Wentz also played on a much better team, while Cal relied on its offense to even stay in games.

but I believe they're both very bright and knowledgeable people and would be interesting to sit down over a beer with.

HA! They got you too.

HA! They got you too.

I have no clue what you mean by "they got me, too". I'm simply stating that they're bright and educated people. Pay close attention and it becomes obvious.
