1) Goff better than Wentz in mental part of the game, and in pocket movement and pocket skills. About the only things where Wentz is superior is arm strength and running ability. But Goff has more than enough arm strength. Goff accurate at every level on the field. Very confident. Aggressive.

2) Goff better than Winston or Marriotta.

3) A very good leader.

4) Fast processor of info, moves through his progressions rapidly, excellent field vision, always in balance to make accurate throws.

5) Good analogy is Peyton Manning.

6) Rams did the right thing and got good value in the trade

7) Goff does more than just make the right read, he understands the underlying concepts and so can adjust on the fly

8) Fisher a better coach than his years so far with the Rams; probably not as good as his Superbowl year. A solid HC, good at developing young talent.

9) Goff only the 2nd QB Fisher got to choose….the other was McNair. Other QBs forced on him by ownership or circumstance.

10) Expect around a 5-11 to 6-10 year. The best if everything goes right probably 8-8. Only way they make the playoffs is if Arizona or Seattle collapse (and he says not likely).

11) Goal with choosing several young WRs and TEs is for Goff and them to grow together.

12) Thinks several of the WRs have a chance to be very good; named Thomas and North. Cooper a slot guy, perhaps later a WO. Thought Spruce could be a Steve Smith type of possession WR.

13) Tavon Austin a gadget player. Few gadget players ever become good all around position players.

14) Believes long term stability at QB and with the Coaching is the key to long term success in a franchise.

15) Timed 40 speed overrated for WRs. Start and stop ability, route running, good hands far more important. 4.7 plenty fast to be a very good NFL WR if the player has quickness, good route runner, very good start/stop ability. Isaac Bruce an example. Spruce is similar.

better prospect than winston and mariota?

i like it.

on football outsiders they rate goff’s chances as slightly below mariota and just above aaron rodgers. wentz and winston not rated highly while russell wilson was.

but i agree with that post that says you need long term stability. whether you like fisher or not i feel like they’re almost obligated now to extend fisher. give goff stability so that he can develop properly.
