Signing(s): Jared Goff signs monster 4 year extension

[Voight]

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.

Aside from Air McNair I don't think any QB has ever looked good playing for Jeff Fisher.

 

[John Price]

Mcvay turned goff into a great qb. Not sure what the problem is here. People here act like he's awful.

Goff came across like a very dumb person on Hard Knocks, but I was blown away in one game last season where he was using the end zone screen to read the defense before taking the snap. It impressed me because the screen was showing the sideline view. So he was looking up at one view and would then look down, take the snap, and make a good throw. Getting his brain to get the two very different perspectives to work like that impressed me.

Gut throws for like 4700 yards and 32 TDs also ran for 100 and 2 more TDs yet some people can't accept that he's actually pretty good.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Also didn’t his production drop off when Cooper Kupp got hurt?

You mean he played worse when he lost a guy who was on track for 1200 yards and 12 TDs?

Shocking.

 

[Captain Bowie]

The board's resident Rams hater is in mid-season form I see.

OK but great QB find a way to adjust. Its not like the Rams team was completely depleted when Kupp went down.

Counterpoint; he still had a bonafide #1 WR in Cooks to throw to, Robert Woods, who was also a 1000 yard WR. Good QBs don't need godlike WRs to throw to. Do they help? Absolutely, but not all need them. Guys like Rodgers and Manning made the careers of some WRs by making them look so, so much better than they actually were.

Goff rightly has issues people are pointing out, but at the same time i don't fault the Rams for paying out the ass to keep him. It's what the market dictates and they're primed to contend now. Better to pay the devil you know than go with some other unknown.

 

[Voight]

Harrison and Wayne were good in their own right tho.

I hope by people you aren't including me.

What options you have, Goff might not be Rodgers but he's good enough to win. Betting on an unknown and saving this cap hit to something else would still probably decrease their odds.

This and if you don't have a dependable QB locked up on your roster, it can spook your other star players.

Even then, you're going to pay just as much for a QB who is either equal or not as good, in the rarer occurrence that a starter even hits the market. Minny couldn't develop a QB so they had no choice but to give Cousins a fully guaranteed deal.

 

[Khelandros]

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.

Colin Kaepernick
Brock Osweiller
Derek Anderson
Rick Mirer
RGIII
Matt Cassel

 

[Voight]

He's better than all 6 of them.

 

[zombie kopitar]

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

Belichick has coached in 12 Super Bowls my dude. He built his legacy off of shutting down elite offenses.
I dont exactly get how that equates to him being an over rated system QB........though I'm also not saying he's worth that contract.

 

[David Suzuki]

The goff haters tell on themselves as having a childish understanding of the sport. There arent five better throwers of a football. He has his issues but the tools are there for him to be one of the best in the league. The doubters remind of of waterboy. Bu bu bu bu but espn said.....

 

[Evincar]

Hes in Kirk Cousins class of QB.

Awful deal.

Goff wishes he could be as good as Cousins.

One of the worst olines in football. Not sure what he's supposed to do. He's a pocket passer he can't create on his own. If McVay consistently wants deep routes and long developing plays Goff is going to come out looking like shit every week. He's a solid QB not his fault if the people protecting him are awful.

 

[MMC]

Ah yes, more Goff bashing, all the clueless NFL fans’ favorite meme.

Creative play callers often want to see their fancy designed plays work in a game. They can thus overlook the situation with their OLine and forget what their capabilities are and think they can pass protect better than they can. It's on McVay to design the game plan that utilizes his team's abilities.

Goff isn't going to be eluding too many pass rushers.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Not sure putting it on Goff is fair. He lost his starting center. The LA OL had no answer for the Pittsburgh pass rush. They made him really uncomfortable and make quicker decisions. Fitzpatrick is a freak

He. Isn’t. The. First. QB. To. Deal. With. Bad. Offensive. Line.
