Lawlor: The Right Fit For Wentz

Jared Goff and Carson Wentz were the top two picks in the 2016 NFL Draft. They will be linked together for years because of that. Right now, they seem worlds apart. Goff is the backup quarterback for the Rams, a team that was shut out in their opener and looked dreadful. Wentz played lights out, was named Rookie of the Week and led the Eagles to a big win on opening day.

Teams had the two players rated similarly. Why have things been so different for them up to this point?

Part of success in the NFL is going to the right place at the right time.
