Not a Cam Newton type of threat on the ground, not even Russell Wilson threat, but an Alex Smith one where he will get 5-15 yards when the pocket breaks down, and be a factor in zone-read plays as well as QB draws, sneaks, designed runs.
#JARED GOFF VS CARSON WENTZ STATS FULL#
What is not seen here is the fact that Wentz is a good rushing QB ( 642 yards on 138 attempts and 6TDs in his last full season in 2014).
#JARED GOFF VS CARSON WENTZ STATS CRACK#
On the other hand there are many QBs that tried and failed to crack the barrier between the FCS and NFL. Looking at the success Joe Flacco and Tony Romo we can see that top level QBs can come from these echelons. What to make of this differential? If I adjust them so that these benefits and drawbacks off-set each other, then Wentz's numbers are less than inspiring.

However, we need to take two ideas into consideration: on one hand his opponents were of FCS quality, which means the DBs weren't as fast and as physical as Power 5 DBs and certainly not as good as the ones he'll face on Sundays, one the other hand, his receivers and OL were of a similar quality, thus not as effective even in the most mundane responsibilities of their positions as their peers. The numbers, as compared to Goff are less inspiring. His 3rd down production is admirable since he was able to convert 3rd and 1-9 on a pretty good basis. Generally, he has been effective in all passes 20 yards all across of the field without any glaring holes. Nonetheless, it provides us with a sufficiently large sample to make some deductions about the prospect. Carson WentzĬarson Wentz' season was interrupted by injury in the 2015 season and thus his stats are much smaller than of our Goffensive leader. If the Kansas City Chiefs were looking for a QB in this draft, Goff would've been their dream prospect. This near-perfect execution of the pre-LOS passing plays as well as short (0-10) passing plays means that he would fit the West Coast system very well. This can mean that his ability to pass the ball under pressure to a safety valve and execute screens can lessen the pressure of a ferocious pass-rush by being able to effectively use dump-offs as well as supplement the running game by executing screens. Of course this doesn't mean he's a check-down Charlie. One thing that pops out the most is the fact that Goff has been perfect in pre-LOS passes, which means his execution on screens and hot-routes has been impeccable. Our Goffensive leader has shown to be an exceptional passer in the pre-LOS, short, and middle passing game albeit being more deficient on his right hand side vs. Ian Wharton from Bleacher Report released the passing charts for all of the top QB prospects.Ī passing chart contains information about completion, TDs, INTs, drops for a QB separated by distance and part of the field. In this column I will look into what the data can tell us. the rest of the QBs in the draft who seemed "stiff". They both agreed that both Goff and Wentz had the poise and composure at the NFL Combine showed that they are mentally ready for the big stage vs. With Bucky Brooks stating that Goff's quickness with his feet, decision making, and release he will be able to thrive in the NFL much like Matt Ryan, and Daniel Jeremiah arguing that Wentz is the best QB considering his versatility as a dual-threat QB in the red zone, experience in the pro-style offense that he ran at NDST, as well as his size and arm strength. In their post combine podcast they both agreed that our former Goffensive leader, Jared Goff, and NDST's Carson Wentz are the premier QB prospects in this draft.

On their podcast " Move the Sticks" they used their scouting experience (they have a combined 10+ years of NFL prospect scouting experience between them) to evaluate prospects and shine the light on the oft misunderstood world of scouting. My two favorite draft experts are Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
