HOW WILL JARED GOFF AND CARSON WENTZ FARE OUT IN THE NFL?

I think No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff will be the better Both Goff and Wentz have NFL size, arm strength and quarterback of the two. I’m not sure about No. 2 overall are mentally sharp. Goff is especially good throwing in pick Carson Wentz, though. He played in an FCS HEALY the middle of the field and Wentz has excellent accuracy powerhouse program in North Dakota State, which isn’t throwing to the sidelines. Goff’s biggest criticism is that exactly the strongest competition. It’s not like he’s Joe VS he had a 13-23 career record at Cal and he has to put on Flacco, where he transferred from Pitt to FCS Delaware. weight to compete in the NFL. Wentz has a bigger arm Wentz spent his entire career at the FCS level.

I think Goff will be better because of the there and it’ll stay elite when he leaves. Does he benefit Neil Patrick THE WEEKLY DEBATE Jack team he’s going to, the weather he’s going to be playing from his system? We’ll see, but I’m going with Goff to be Healy Rieger in and he makes better progressions from the pocket. more successful.
