5 Reasons The Browns Should Draft Jared Goff Over Wentz

Goff Changed A Culture

Cal plays in a premier college football conference, but the Golden Bears are far from being the class of the Pac-12.

Yet, because of Goff, Cal became respectable. Goff went through a rough freshman season in 2013 when Cal went just 1-11, but he came back as a sophomore, going 5-7, and finished his college career off as a junior with an 8-5 mark, and a win in the Armed Services Bowl, the Golden Bears first postseason victory since 2011.

OK, so it’s not the Rose Bowl, but the upward trend is what’s important here. If Goff were returning for his senior season, the Golden Bears would have to be considered a conference title contender.

This is important because Goff would be coming to a similar situation in the pros. If he becomes the Browns quarterback, Cleveland probably won’t become winners overnight. It’s going to take a little time, and Goff has a proven track record that he can lead a turnaround job.

Is Wentz capable of a turnaround effort? Perhaps, but it’s worth noting when he took over the starting job at North Dakota State, his team was already an FBS powerhouse, having won two national championships before he became THE man under center.

Wentz faced pressure too, because ensuring that a winner remains a winner isn’t easy work. But Goff turned around a school in a Power 5 conference, facing tougher competition. Considering the turnaround project he’ll face in the NFL, this has to be considered when deciding between two.
