InvaderRamModeratorWith the change in approach, Goff’s time to throw has seen a shift. In 2018, Goff’s average time to throw was 2.95 seconds, which ranked sixth in the league according to Next Gen Stats. Goff’s average time to throw has dropped to a 20th-ranked 2.77 seconds this season. However, Goff experienced a fourth-ranked 25.2% pressure rate in 2018 despite his high time to throw, whereas his lower time to throw in 2019 has been paired with a 21st-ranked 29.9% pressure rate (subscription required). In other words, Goff isn’t holding the ball as long this season, but he’s being pressured far more often.
well there ya go.
i guess it woulda helped to read.
ok. so if i’m reading this correctly. the next gen stats that is. he has the fifth highest expected completion percentage at 67.1% meaning on average his passes are low risk passes. however, he is only completing 62.5% of his passes indicating that he is performing below expectations? that would be third worst just ahead of rosen and haskins.
he does rank 22nd in terms of time to throw and being pressured more often. so that explains at least part of it. but like the article says. goff is not good at throwing under pressure. how much of that can be improved on?
InvaderRamModeratorhis lcad is pretty high. i’m not sure, but i think it means he on average throws downfield more than most qbs?
actually i think that’s iay.
still. his expected completion percentage was very high.
i think his receivers have let him down a little this season.
InvaderRamModeratorlooking at those stats.
his lcad is pretty high. i’m not sure, but i think it means he on average throws downfield more than most qbs? someone else would know more. also his expected completion percentage is 67. seems like his receivers are dropping passes they should be catching which would match what i’ve seen on the field.

no average though.
i would also like to know what percentage of dropbacks he’s under pressure compared to other starting qbs.
InvaderRamModeratorSome of Goff’s problems are byproducts of factors outside of his control. He’s had an average of 2.76 seconds to throw per pass attempt this year, compared with 2.95 in 2018 and 2.93 in 2017, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
what i would like to know is what is the league average?
InvaderRamModeratorWell, I am beginning to think of them as sure things, myself.
i’ll say that i like what i’ve seen so far.
but they’ve got 9 games starting experience between the two of them.
i wanna see how they do these last four games.
InvaderRamModeratoredwards and evans are far from a sure thing.
and it could get real ugly if whit falls off a cliff which is what it’s looking like right now.
and i wouldn’t necessarily count on noteboom just stepping right in at left tackle. not after major knee surgery.
InvaderRamModeratori just want to see the rams finish out this season strong.
not even really considering playoffs at this point. if it happens, great. but i really just want to see something that will give me hope for next season.
good win. let’s see how the oline holds up over the next four games though.

InvaderRamModeratormmm…
this is just a guess mind you.
and i don’t know enough about football to really say this with much conviction.
but my guess is that defenses are also figuring goff out a little bit and taking some things away from him. and it’s gonna be up to goff to see if he can adjust or not.
and that’s not to discount the other things. the oline and gurley are also reasons. but i think some of it lies with goff as well.
but as i’ve said many times. i think goff has the ability to adjust. i really do. his mental makeup is top notch.

InvaderRamModeratorI am going to cook bacon. Lots and lots of bacon. It think if you have a 12 lb. turkey, you should have an equal amount of bacon.
you should wrap the turkey in bacon.

InvaderRamModeratorI made a corporate pumpkin pie just now.
Canned Pumpkin. Canned milk. 2 Corporately-tortured-factory-Eggs. Corporate frozen deep-dish-pie-crust.
Redi-whip canned whip cream.I preheated the oven to 450 degrees in honor of global-warming.
And now, i am going to eat the whole entire damn thing. No-one can stop me.
Happy Holiday.

InvaderRamModeratorI’m usually not the kind of fan who goes ballistic after a loss and pounds the table for a complete rebuild.
But that’s how I felt after the first half. I was almost numb by the end of the game, and couldn’t even watch the last minute or so after Kupp drop-tipped the pass for a Ravens’ interception.
After some time to calm down, reflect, burn off some of the alcohol, do some Zazen . . . I can see much more clearly now:
Tear this #$@&%*! down you #$@&%*! I’m NOT PUTTING UP with this #$@&%*! any #$@&%*! MORE this #$@&%*! YEAR or next #$@&%*! YEAR!!! You #$@&%*! #$@&%*!?#$@&%*!!!
it sucked. i was anticipating a regression this season. i just knew things couldn’t go like they had been the past 2 years.
they’re still above 0.500, but it sure doesn’t feel that way. it feels like it did the past 15 years.
but i’m also willing to see this until the end of the season. i don’t think they need to tear the whole thing apart. they need to get the oline and the running game situated. maybe most of those parts are already in place and just need some development. i don’t know. this will be a crucial offseason.
the defense. i don’t think it’s as bad as it looked last night. this was an all-time running game they went against. i really believe that. greg roman. that’s what he does. he develops high powered running offenses. and he had ingram and jackson to work with. and they could very well break a 40 year old record for rushing yards in a season by a single team.
still. the defense needs a pass rusher outside of aaron donald. and they’re gonna need to find a way to replace littleton…
ok… i’m starting to feel sick now…

InvaderRamModeratori think long’s gonna end up being a good one too.
InvaderRamModeratori agree with y’all. i wanna see improvements.
oline and defense specifically.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t know what to think of all of it.
do i think he deserves a spot on an nfl roster?
yes. i have a hard time believing bortles is a better qb than kaepernick.
and i do admire him for standing up for injustice.
but then why did he sign a deal with nike? or will he protest the injustices done by nike?
i know you can’t fight every battle. and we’re all hypocrites.
i don’t know. maybe the end really is near.
InvaderRamModeratorgoff’s season seems to be very similar to brees’ 2003 season – his third season in the league (age 24).
this is goff’s fourth season – age 25.
brees really struggled that season. his rating was 67.5 that year which ranked 28th in the league.
goff this year has a rating of 82.1 which is good for 27th in the league.
just numerous factors that are out of goff’s control. the oline has been in constant flux. gurley is not himself. not even close to himself.
and when you look a little further, it’s not like brees didn’t have help. he had a peak ladainian tomlinson in the backfield (finished 3rd in the league in rushing that year). he was in his second year under schottenheimer and offensive coordinator cam cameron.
goff still can make awesome throws. we saw it last night. he had at least 2 tds taken away from him (kupp fumble and reynolds td that was called back for illegal formation). against a bears defense that is ranked 8th in the league in total yards and 4th in scoring. without his 2 starting wrs. and an offensive line starting 2 rookies (in their age 22 seasons i should add).
now some of it falls on him too. he makes some really questionable throws at times. but the thing is it never fazes him. he’s a tough guy. and much like he’s shown throughout his career, the guy overcomes adversity and becomes better from it. he’s going to continue to take his lumps this season. but i’m fairly confident he rises above it. and this will end up being a positive experience for him.
InvaderRamModeratorWe still have a long way to go, but there was a lot of improvement shown by all.
yeah. excited about edwards and evans. and noteboom and allen even (hope they can come back healthy). but a long way to go.

InvaderRamModeratordo you think he knows he wrote a haiku
brilliant.
InvaderRamModeratoryup. rudolph goes in a second time while garrett is engaged with decastro.
still inexcusable. but it was a series of events that kept escalating.

InvaderRamModeratorBut if we look at it with cold eyes, it’s just a fact of Cause and Effect that Rudolph’s running back into the fray, squaring up directly with Garrett, when he was already contained by DeCastro and another Pittsburgh lineman . . . . Well, I see that as escalation, totally unnecessary and pretty stupid.
I agree that was pretty stupid.
you’re not the only one. guys on nfl network were saying rudolph was getting off way too lightly.
although they said no doubt that there was no excuse for what garrett did.
InvaderRamModeratori wanna see more todd gurley especially if he runs like he did against the steelers.
InvaderRamModeratorbut I’m gonna show bad form today. Cuz, yeah, I thought they neglected the O-line before the season started.
I don’t agree.
I think this is a case of out of an out of sync OL with new faces being rough (though winning 5 games) and then that gets taken as a talent issue.
They drafted 5 linemen in 2 years, 4 look good, and in fact one (Edwards) may be the best Rams low round pick in years and years. I think the future will vindicate the picks of Noteboom, Evans, and Edwards above all, and probably Allen too.
They then traded for one (a high 2nd rounder) and picked up another one as a cut (a viable move in line building).
That is not neglecting the OL.
Meanwhile yesterday they ended up with 4 spots on the OL manned by guys either out of position or fresh off the bench. No line looks good under those conditions.
I am in pretty strong disagreement with all the “told you so” OL posts.
That’s my 2 cents on this. Just posting it as my vote in the informal poll. We could argue about it all day but I don’t intend to. I just see it as 2 different votes.
….
i almost agree. except i’m waiting to see what happens with whit.
and at this point noteboom is still very much a question mark. and edwards at left tackle? perhaps. it’s a long shot. but then that leaves a hole at guard. possibly.
i only saw the second half. but some of this is on goff as well. he’s gotta adjust a little bit. and there was some questionable decision making.
also. they shoulda ran gurley more.

InvaderRamModeratorperhaps this is a case where mcvay should have given the starters some more time in preseason?
i don’t know. whit is getting up there in age so that’s a difficult choice to make.
InvaderRamModeratorso things didn’t slow down for him until 6 or 7 years in the league.
hmmm… goff is in his fourth year. that’s goes in line with my thinking. so he must be right!
seriously though. i don’t think we’ve seen peak goff yet.
InvaderRamModeratorhe has a ways to go, but i would say mahomes.
wilson is second.

InvaderRamModeratorwell. this should have happened a long time ago.
InvaderRamModeratoryeah. sorry. i wasn’t trying to say it’d be this season. i think it was after the 2021 season that they could be cut.
October 29, 2019 at 7:46 pm in reply to: Talib and 5 rd pick traded to Miami for unspecified “future pick” #107545
InvaderRamModeratoryeah rams essentially pay the dolphins a draft pick to take on around 4 million dollars of salary. or the dolphins just payed 4 million for a fifth round draft pick… sure. why not?
i liked talib. it sucks he had to go out this way.
i also think this means that they like what they have in hill and the other young defensive backs so yay!
InvaderRamModeratorI don’t see how we can afford Fowler and Ramsey. Obo’s play might replace Fowler in the future. Hopefully we can re-sign Mathews on the cheap again
i’m no cap expert, but i don’t see how they could either.
unless.
cooks and/or gurley are cut. both are a big possibility i think.
but then. they gotta extend kupp too.
InvaderRamModeratorthey got this!
i hope.
