theory: 3rd down

Well, i think its mainly the OLine, but i also
think the talent at the TE/WR positions have been mediocre.
Not terrible, but hardly scary to a good nfl defense.
And this year, Keenum is part of the problem. Is he or is he not one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL? Yes. He is.

Next year, i assume, a priority will be a talented WR.
Unless Spruce and/or Cooper really become a force.

edit: heres the list of starting QBs, btw. Where would we rank Keenum?

Well I think of it this way. He’s not a starting qb. Or, not starting caliber. So to me the question is, is he better than Shaun Hill or Chad Henne? If so by how much?

———

Yeah, ok. I think he’s a ‘little’ better than Shawn Hill.

At any rate, he’s the best they have right now, at this juncture.

Do you think Goff will start this season?

I do.

I feel for Mannion. I think he outplayed all other qb’s in the pre-season. And when the starting QB has a horrible game one, he gets demoted through no fault of his.

I think that old phrase “We don’t care where they were drafted” does not apply here

I have thought the same thing, but Mannion played against worse players remember. He has always intrigued me, but mostly because of his numbers in college. I have seen little of him in action. I assume the coaches do not seem his a superior to Keenum.

i’ve said this before. i’ll say it again. coming out of college, i see more potential in goff than i did in sam. and sam’s turned out to be a pretty good qb!

not only that, i think goff’s supporting cast has more potential than the supporting cast sam took on as a rookie. especially if cooper and spruce are as good as i think they are.

i think he start against buffalo week 5.

i’m sure this had been posted before but i’ll post it again.

this is from early last year. not sure how goff’s season went after this article.
