His improv skills are unremarkable.

Don’t know about his audible skills, or even if that is a thing in the current offense.

I mean…that’s how I see Goff right now.

You rate him higher. Why?

I’m in alignment with most everything you said:

Goff has also reminds me of Joe Montana…in addition, this McVay regime reminds me of the 49er Walsh regime in many ways… in team culture, game prep, playbook, play script etc… Walsh teams were able to go on the road and win consistently… win games in hostile places. McVay’s road and east coast record is similar to Walsh, which is remarkable….I think Goff’s and Montana’s “even keel” help with that.

In fairness to Joe Montana, yes, he had blue chippers, but early on…… He had nobodies on offense… on defense, he did have over-the-hill Hacksaw and Fred Dean 6 weeks into the season and a great secondary, but that secondary was all rookies that the Walsh culture built into blue chippers…

Clock awareness…. especially the play clock just kills me with Goff… But I will say this regarding an unsung play during the Monday Night game in Tampa to set up Gay’s FG right before half… Right after the Robert Woods catch, the Rams had to spike the ball to set up that kick….it was a thing of beauty, I think that goes back to McVay’s culture and Goff being even keel……. it was one of the coolest plays i’ve seen this season to set up that spike with 1 second to spare…That FG became the difference in the game.

That’s where this quote comes to play:

He doesn’t get High; he doesn’t get Low. Even keel, all the time. Something almost…vacant…about his personality…..His improv skills are unremarkable……..

Neither did Bart Starr, nor Tom Brady, and Joe Montana…I don’t think that improv skills equate to consistent winning in the NFL, with the exception of maybe Russel Wilson, who is 3 – 6 vs the Rams…should be 2-7 if Zuerline nails the kick last year.

That’s what I see in Goff over Everett, a smart accurate QB with guts while remaining calm….he won me over after that dismal rookie season…i’m not sure many QBs would over come a career start like that, with the exception of the Manning sisters…

Also consider that Everett inherited a team that Jeff Kemp, Steve Dils, Dieter Brock and an over the hill Steve Bartkowski won with …he had Flipper, Ellard, Dickerson, and one of the best offensive lines that the Rams ever had…those Anaheinm teams of the 80s had a ton of probowlers on the O-Line that all sported Rolex watches from E.D……BTW, the Rams had to win the final game of the 86 season against SF to make the playoffs……. Everett got picked 3 fucking times….. They lost 4 straight in 89, at that’s not including that MNF game against SF where Everett fumbled the snap on the goal line to lose…fucking choker.

They had the secondary of defense….Gary Green, Nolan Cromwell, Jerry Gray and Johnnie Johnson and the coke dealer guy… i forget his name in the secondary.

In 87 when Dickerson was a baby and demanded a trade…Everett couldn’t win…Everett couldn’t win with Knox, nor Mora in NO…. Goff had Gurley, but not in crunch time of 2018 and 2019…

I like the even keel of Goff over the muscle of Everett, and I was a huge Everett fan….

Like Montana, Goff came to team that was a perennial loser and he helped them consistently win. I don’t think Everett could ever do that.

Everett could make every throw? The floater to a wide open flipper Anderson in the NFC Championship that had more hang time than a Ray Guy punt that Lott batted away… turning point in that game….. THE WILL TO WIN!!!

He was so good that he couldn’t beat out TJ Rubley…..

BTW, I can’t believe even Chris Miller’s name was dropped on here…should’ve kept Chandlier over Miller….

Goff willed the team to victory in New Orleans in the NFC Championship. Not many QB’s have ever won a playoff game against Brees in NO…. while Gurley rode a stationary bike on the sidelines…Most great QB’s in that position in those conditions lost.

Goff willed the team last year in Seattle but Zuerline missed a chip shot

The year before he willed the team at home vs Seattle, but Kupp dropped a game winning TD.

Goff willed the team last year in SF, but SF converted 2 3rd and 16s in the final drive to win.

It’s a shame Brandon Cooks couldn’t grab a TD pass in the Super Bowl…

Sure Goff struggled today, all QB’s struggle throughout a season… ….the defense played very good today against a struggling offense but the defense also dropped 2 sure picks, missed 2 key tackles and let Debo Sanders make huge conversions.

A short week vs a division rival that is coming off a bye isn’t a given all while missing your all star left tackle.

I’m not sure why McVay isn’t calling more roll out plays..

I can’t believe that Detroit sucks so badly.

HUGE!

Brady had happy feet.

take the over…. last year the Bucs beat the Rams by a score of 55-40…..

RB’s are better than I expected

WR depth is still very good, if not the best in the division.

OLINE much better than last season

Not sure why McVay hasn’t had Goff roll out on more plays the past few games….

New DC has been good, especially in 2nd half of each game.

Image? help me understand. Pretty Boy Beto couldn’t beat Grandpa Munster clone Ted Cruz for Texas Senate……

Was Beto even in the race when Amy K, Mayor Pete, Lizzy Warden, sold out for Joe? Bernie was kicking everyone’s ass in the primary when a back door deal was made to rally behind Joe and ditch Bernie.

If any image needs repair its the image of the dem party that Trump has portrayed….Trump has framed the Dems as a party that is located east of the Iron Curtain. That’s the image that needs to be shed. I think Bernie was effectively doing that during the primary.

I also think that Bernie would’ve kicked Trump’s ass big time. Joe kinda sucks, he’s the Miami Dolphins of last week. Joe needed 4 turnovers to potentially win (he still hasn’t won) . If Trump didn’t fumble away COVID this year, Trump would’ve kicked Joe’s ass last night….

People simply want a concise effective communicator… Trump can do that with his salesmanship….. Bernie has that skill too, more importantly, he could sell it to the masses….. the Dems just didn’t let him do it.

Too bad, Bernie actually cares about people.

Kupp and Goff not in sync today…

Shanahan’s game plan with Garapalo worked.

McVay has lost 3 straight to the 49ers…

Why didn’t the Vikings attempt a chip shot FG to go up by 8????

Seattle 5-0
