    Thanks, zn.

    I watched this and some of his 2015 game against Texas.

    First of all, the kid can throw the football. He’s accurate and does have that quick release. He has pretty good pocket awareness and he played behind an awful offensive line. He is not a statue back there. He can move enough to get a first down here and there. He’s probably more accurate than Wentz and certainly has a faster release.

    But…and I know I’ve been poking fun at his hands–he had 23 fumbles at Cal. That concerns me. He isn’t used to being under center and Wentz looks very smooth with that. Also Wentz brings more intangibles in the way he can run with the football–not that he HAS to run–he just is more of a complete package in that way–defenses will have to respect that.

    I’m not saying Goff would be a flop. He may be a superstar.

    I just think–looking at the Rams–and what they do–and which puzzle piece I feel fits better with them, right now–I believe it’s Wentz.

    I believe he can have the biggest impact–the soonest.

    On the other hand I can see Goff becoming a star in the NFL as well.

    If they do pick Goff, I’ll embrace him and hope for the best.

    But that pick will excite me more if the card comes up and Goodell says: “With the first pick in the 2016 NFL draft–the Rams select Carson Wentz, QB Noth Dakota State University.”

    goff looks good. i can’t discount that.

    in the end, i think i gotta just trust what this front office sees with their own eyes.

    this will be snead’s biggest test so far as a general manager. pretty exciting. this move pretty much will define his tenure with the rams. fair or not. he’s made good decisions in general so far, but this move will follow him warranted or not.

    i can see why people rave about his footwork. the way he can just slide over to buy himself some time and space.
