Thanks Ag.

I watched some of the other videos on there. Did anyone catch the one where Wentz was in the Hot Seat with Steve Marriucci? Wow. He drew a complicated play–made Carson sit down and answer questions and then had him draw and explain the play. The kid nailed it.

I’ll be glad when we know which one they take because I’ll be able to get excited about either one. This is a rough two weeks.

yeah i saw that. very impressive. that’s why i’m confident that it’s just a matter of reps for him to start processing things faster in the passing game.

Just got done watching a great one hour special on NFL Net dedicated to the drama of who the Rams should take.

To sum it up in three words – can’t go wrong

No wonder myself and most others on here are so confused on who we should take… Both of theses kids can play!!!

The things that stood out about Goff were his pocket presence and poise, his quick release, smart and very accurate, also he played much higher competition level.

Wentz on the other hand has a rocket arm, very smart, throws on the run better then most pros in the league right now, super athletic and highly competitive …I like how DJ compared him to Philip Rivers when it comes to getting fired up about the game and how he will lead from the jump.

At the end of the show, just to add more confusion they were asked who it will be and who it should be.

Kurt Warner loved Goff, and in my biased opinion, that holds a lot of weight … Says he is sick of the “higher ceiling” type argument and that he goes by what he sees and Goff is day one ready.

DJ like Wentz, but thinks it will be Goff. Says Wentz athleticism and drive are going to carry over to the NFL

Bucky says he likes Goff and says it will be Goff.

If you get a chance to watch this check it out. Good stuff.

“Kurt Warner loved Goff, and in my biased opinion, that holds a lot of weight … Says he is sick of the “higher ceiling” type argument and that he goes by what he sees and Goff is day one ready.”

Given the path that Kurt took to get to the level he achieved, I’m having trouble understanding this comment, or why he made it. It looks to me like he didn’t hit the league as “NFL ready”, and in fact benefitted greatly by the learning process he was afforded. Not a dig against Kurt, I love the guy. Just wondering if I’m missing something.

I think KW was alluding to the fact that the Rams pick will be expected to start immediately.

Yeah, agreed.

The part I was wrestling with was the Higher Ceiling part. Meaning that, (at least the way I took it) it’s better to take the “ready to go” guy than to pick a guy that might take some time to fully develop.

When in reality, in his specific case, the “developmental” guy turned out pretty well.

either way they go they should probable let the guy develop anyway. neither guy is going to be ready day 1 anyway.
