The Los Angeles Rams should have done a better job of adding a backup quarterback than throwing John Wolford and Bryce Perkins behind Matthew Stafford for the second year in a row. No, the chances of an NFL team having a backup quarterback who is as good as the regular starters are not high, but consider how important good backups have been this year.
Names like Jimmy Garoppolo, Colt McCoy, Cooper Rush, Taylor Heinicke, P.J. Walker, and Mike White have helped plugged leaks or even been upgrades to the starter (of course, Jimmy’s situation is unique), while Geno Smith has gone from a career backup to being a decent player in his own right.
