Point of no return?

At what point this season do the Rams redshirt Goff the entire season, no matter what?

If the Rams get through game 12, and are in the playoff picture, would they switch to Goff if they though he was ready? I don’t know. I don’t think so. I have to think it’s by mid-season. Game 8 or 9, or we don’t see him unless Keenum gets injured.

Thats reasonable. $tanK can’t pass up playoff revenue.

I think Fisher’s plan was to keep him on the bench the entire season if he could. So as long as Keenum is playing well Goff will sit IMO.

And I think I’m okay with that (as much as I am looking forward to a stronger, more accurate arm). Keenum’s misses and floats are disappointing, but he IS adequate. Barely, maybe. But he is adequate. I would like to see Goff get some garbage duty, though the way the Rams play, there may be no garbage time the entire year. Close, low-scoring games.

Bring on Buffalo. I can’t wait. I am going with my son, and sitting in 93 degree direct sun all day with no shade anywhere (and apparently no water).

After the game, I said Case Keenum was what a really good Austin Davis would look like because he’s a gamer with limited ability. But he’s smarter than Davis. So I’m gonna revise my comparison. Case Keenum is a more mobile, grittier version of Pat Haden.

I don’t disagree, but he also kinda reminds me of the Jeff Garcia type. Not saying that’s good or bad, just what I think of when I watch him.

I agree with you. He is like Garcia although I think Garcia was a little better than Keenum is now.

I grudgingly admit Keenum has smarts and moxie. But he has a high school arm. It’s the sole reason opponents are playing run first. He had a couple of throws yesterday that, had they been in stride (the one to Tavon was maddening) could have gone for long scores. The surprising ability of the receivers to get open- wide open- has saved his skin, and the Rams.

My crystal ball says Fisher stays with Keenum until he has a meltdown half. Insert Goff and see how he does under duress.

Garcia could throw a hard out. And a zip through the end zone. Keenum throws a five yard dunk with a high arc.

Yep. Garcia had a better arm, but almost everyone does over Keenum. I’m referencing the grit, that tough hombre kind of attitude. Th little kid on the playground that keeps fighting against the big boys after he’s been knocked down a dozen times. Keenum’s a scrapper. I wish he were better at everything. But I like his guts.
