Jason Cole: Rams receivers did not respect Jared Goff

Goff has to earn the respect through his play on the field. Setting up off day workouts is a good thing and a step in the right direction, IMO.

I tend to think this story is overblown as I’m sure he could have got a receiver or 2 to show up…they still have practice squad players and receivers that aren’t getting much PT that would love to get some attention from the starting QB.

With the exception of Britt they were all pretty horrible anyway and for someone with Britt’s physical gifts a thousand yard season shouldn’t be a big deal at all. The real question is why hasn’t he done 4 or 5 times by now. Even in ’16 he was constantly injured . His snap count would be an interesting stat. Goff hit all those guys right in the numbers/hands and they dropped them ran poor routes or wrong ones altogether . Shitcan them all. Keep Britt if it don’t break the bank but if it does there are better wrs to overspend on. Alshon Jeffery and Doug Baldwin would be huge up grades.

Goff didn’t consistently hit them in the hands and that was a part of the problem IMO.

How do you know they ran the wrong routes? Watching TV I can’t even tell if they ran a poor route.

To be honest, I dont get enough from that to think it means anything, if it even happened like Cole says.

A lot went wrong last year. Hard for me to take just this or that story as meaning much.

i could see something like this happening. maybe not with all the receivers, but i could see something like this happening with some of the receivers at the end of the season with a season lost. especially after fisher had been fired and the realization that the offense most likely would be scrapped along with the rest of the coaching staff. i could totally see that happening.

doesn’t make it right. doesn’t mean it actually ever happened. but i could see it happening. can’t be totally dismissed.

we’ll just have to see it play out.

as far as goff goes. i think too much is said of his build. he’s already 215 pounds, and he looks like he could add on at least another 10.

he just has to buckle down and learn the new offense and see how it goes.

Agreed , from what I remember he did early in his first games and it almost looked like they were shocked. It was a huge change in velocity. I remember wrs not knowing where to line up, not knowing where the sticks were running into each other , seemed obvious to me. Goff was erratic but he did take a beating game after game. Some of it was his fault but some of it was horrible OL play and drop after drop including Britt in a couple games. I was a big Quick supporter but after the 3 games where he got sudden he was awful constant drops until garbage time. Austin simply has shitty hands. He’s made some good grabs but he’s also bungled way more than a 40million dollar wr/gadget man should. Spruce looked like a winner but he never even got on the field. To me it’s obvious we need players on the outside. Seemed to me like Gurley had the best hands on the team.
