Clayton on Goff

hmmm… if that’s true, i’m actually ok with it.

if the team is winning and keenum is playing well, might as well let goff just sit back and absorb as much as he can. let him get as ready as he possibly can before putting him in. as long as it’s not affecting results.

Mmm. I doubt it. Sounds like PR spin. Case is doing okay. Not “well.” And if Goff is ready, and Goff is more talented, they wouldn’t stick with Case. They wouldn’t. If Goff is ready, he would be an improvement. So. BS.

it does sound unlikely but there were times in the preseason he looked pretty good. at times.

so i figure he’s gotta be close at the very least.

There was good recent article on this that didn’t get much in the way of responses.

It was by Michael Silver, who is a Fisher confidante. Here’s Silver on Goff:

While Fisher and his assistants would like to see Goff reduce the amount of interceptions he throws against the scout team, they’re convinced that if thrown into the fray immediately, he has the physical skill, instincts and intelligence to thrive. That said, they recognize that he is only 21, and that many successful quarterbacks — including Palmer, now 36 — benefitted by observing and learning in the early part of their careers.

as long as results aren’t being affected it goes back to what a certain coach’s philosophy is.

fisher believes goff will benefit long term by sitting and observing.

and i think there’s positives and negatives to each approach. there probably isn’t a right way to do it. just different ways of doing it.
