i think he can be better than bradford.

he’s got his size quick release and accuracy.

but then he has him beat in pocket presence coming out of college.

i also think we see sizable increases in his arm strength over the next 2 seasons as he adds bulk.

but we don’t know about his decision making skills in a league that’s faster and more sophisticated. we also don’t know about his obsession with being the best. those two things will determine how high his ceiling can be.

but mind you i do like goff. in a lot of ways i like him more than wentz. and in some ways i think he’s got a higher ceiling than wentz. i don’t think lynch will ever be better than him. but if he was as good as a flacco and goff was the caliber of a manning (eli that is!) i would be a little irritated.

but who knows? some had him rated higher than winston and mariota coming out.

and like i said if it was between bradford and goff i’d go goff. shoot. if it was between goff and suh i’d want goff. and i was in the suh camp back then.

just not a big fan of giving up draft picks.

thing is. for me. it can’t just be a 10-15 yr qb. not for how much they had to give up. he’s gonna have to be better than ryan or manning. he’s gonna have to be drew brees good to ever think that trade was worth it. either that or lynch is gonna have to blow chunks.

coop and higbee. let’s hope. rookie qb, rookie slot receiver, rookie pass catching tight end.

yikes!

i don’t know if you’re just joking about the 235 pound bit but i definitely think he can get up to 230 pounds.

i don’t know. the pick itself i’m on board with although i still silently protest the trade.

his career is going to depend on so many other things that i can’t predict. i mean i thought sam could have been the long term qb for the rams but injuries and numerous system changes did him in.

i will say this. i think he’s a better prospect than sam coming out of college.

still opposed to the trade though.

i think he’s a very good safety.

but if there’s one thing i trust about this coaching staff it’s their ability to find and develop defensive backs.

i really like this brian randolph kid from tennessee. he could be a real steal.

having said that i think losing mcleod could potentially be the free agent loss that hurts the most.

Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, who led the St. Louis Rams to a Super Bowl victory, said the act of dropping back to pass is more complex than most people realize. A quarterback’s drop meshes with the route timing of his receivers, so a passer will know by his own feet where his receivers are at any given point.

yeah. more than learning the technique the hard part is learning to be in sync with your receivers. that makes sense. going half speed now and speeding it up makes sense in that context.

but i also think you’re running generally the safer routes and providing a safety blanket for the qb rather than the deeper riskier routes of a wide receiver. so you don’t generally get a high yards per catch but rather high volume of catches and low yards per catch.

looking at his combine numbers would seem to be a smoother athlete but not terribly explosive

oh brother.

i can only go from qbs i personally watched which is from 1995.

i definitely think he can be better than pretty tony.

now go watch him go on to be a huge flop.

better prospect than winston and mariota?

i like it.

on football outsiders they rate goff’s chances as slightly below mariota and just above aaron rodgers. wentz and winston not rated highly while russell wilson was.

but i agree with that post that says you need long term stability. whether you like fisher or not i feel like they’re almost obligated now to extend fisher. give goff stability so that he can develop properly.

my favorite player on the rams. here’s to a great year leading the offense next year.

set the standard, todd!

it will have been nearly two years since his acl injury. he should be at full powers for the start of the season.

for example look at doug martin in his first and second years after acl injury.

also. as you said. ryan had roddy white his rookie year. i wish they could have signed a veteran wr or te in free agency to help goff out. a guy like ladarius green would have been nice rather than gambling on higbee and hemingway. i just wonder who goff’s safety blanket is going to be as a rookie. they can’t just rely on gurley to carry the load.

to use another example. winston not only had martin he had evans to take pressure off him. even mariota had walker who caught for over 1000 yards mariota’s rookie year. who is goff going to have?
