He's a good QB and can only get better.

Hes in Kirk Cousins class of QB.

Awful deal.

Every top 15 QB that signs a new contract will be breaking this guaranteed money record.
Can't wait to see what Mahomes' extension looks like next year.

 

[MMC]

Love it, this is a fine contract. It’s not 2014 anymore.

 

[David Suzuki]

Great deal for both sides

 

[Blitzkrug]

While i question Goff's value, the law of the land is basically "you be QB, you make all of the money"

Gonna make Prescott's negotiations interesting and at this point, Mahomes will be given the land deed to the state of Missouri on his next deal.

 

[StreetHawk]

Guaranteed is not the same as fully guaranteed. I believe Wentz got $66 million fully guaranteed, which is about 2 years worth of average salary.

Especially in his case as the Cali kid who has played his entire football career in state, was picked No. 1 & has been a big part of the franchises Resurrection.

That not really wrong to say. Cousins is a solid QB. Goff got exposed badly in the playoffs. Most QBs would look good playing for the Rams.

You have to pay your quarterbacks

He's a good QB and can only get better.

Factually incorrect.

 

[John Price]

Factually incorrect.

Dude he's been in the league for only a few years

It's natural for him to get better

I don't understand what this perception is of him being mediocre or a bust is. He shed that off after his rookie year.

You're looking too deep into it if you think it has anything to do with Goff himself and not the claim itself.

Qb's peak early on in many cases. It's not a linear step-by-step process. It's about preparation, skill, attrition, scheme, teammates etc.

He has SYSTEM QB written all over him. When Belichick outcoached McVay it’s no coincidence Goff was absolutely awful.

He has SYSTEM QB written all over him. When Belichick outcoached McVay it’s no coincidence Goff was absolutely awful.

But if the system is pretty awesome, then it means he's a good fit to the system considering how well he played for all but one game last season. The system clearly is pretty awesome because it looked great for all but one game. It's not going to be fair to the QBs of the league to say a guy has to beat Belichick to be considered worthy of a big contract.

 

[DangleCity]

Rams will regret this, and most likely before the end of the season.

I agree with this. I do wonder what Goff would look like in another system or removed from McVay. I tend to think he'd be somewhat average personally. I'd be skeptical of signing him if he were a UFA. However, the Rams don't have to worry about what he would or wouldn't be like without McVay. They get him with McVay.

That's not to say I love the contract, but I get why the Rams lock him up.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I won't make any predictions, but yeah, the Rams had to do this.

Not necessarily. The longer a player is in the league, the more time the league has to adjust. I think McVay deserves more credit for developing Goff than Goff.
