I was imprecise in what I thought was meaningless. The ability to pull off comebacks is ultimately important, and the QB plays a key role in that ability. What I think is meaningless is the statistic of # of game winning drives, as a pure number or % frequency. Certain QBs are just presented with fewer opportunities to come from behind. My position is Goff is not a good QB when behind and the QB needs to step up—I believe his performance is pretty below average when faced with adversity.
2020 When Behind by 1-8 Points
1. Deshaun Watson (Houston Texans), 134.4 QBR, 9 TDs, 0 INT

19. Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals), 90.5 QBR, 4 TDs, 1 INT
20. Mitchell Trubisky (Chicago Bears), 89.8 QBR, 1 TDs, 0 INT
21. Teddy Bridgewater (Carolina Panthers), 87.2 QBR, 4 TDs, 4 INT

29. Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons), 60.1 QBR, 0 TDs, 4 INT
30. Drew Lock (Denver Broncos), 57.8 QBR, 1 TDs, 3 INT
31. Alex Smith (Washington Football Team), 54.5 QBR, 1 TDs, 3 INT
32. Brandon Allen (Cincinnati Bengals), 25.9 QBR, 0 TDs, 1 INTI recognize that no one is saying Goff is having good year in the clutch in 2020, but I don’t think he was much better last year and I could not find career based situational stats.
Also, on the Game Winning drive front I am not sure its a measurable/meaningful stat, because the context of does your team get behind in the first place is important. For example, Kurt Warner only had 4 in 50 starts with the Rams (8%), but I would take him in the clutch over Goff every time. Bulger had 16 out of 95 starts (17%).
In the division:
Goff has 8 GWDs in 65 starts (12%)
Russell Wilson has 30 in 138 starts (22%)
Jimmy Garappolo has 7 in 32 starts (22%)
Kyler Murray has 5 in 27 starts (19%)Heck, former Rams back up Blake Bortles has 8 in 73 starts (11%)
QBs with a similar number of starts include:
Mariota has 15 in 61 starts (25%)
Dak Prescott has 15 in 69 starts (22%)
Nick Foles has 12 in 55 starts (22%)
Deshaun Watson has 10 in 48 starts (21%)
Baker Mayfield has 7 in 40 starts (18%)
Jameis Winston has 11 in 70 starts (16%)
Mitchell Trubisky has 7 in 45 starts (16%)
Wentz has 10 in 66 starts (15%)
Patrick Mahomes has 6 in 42 starts (14%)Current active leaders
Drew Brees has 53 in 283 starts (19%)
Tom Brady has 47 in 295 starts (16%)https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/gwd_active.htm
I guess my point is, Being clutch is more of a gut feel and I don’t think Goff is known as a QB who is know for his grit and determination to carry a team in adversity.

Good job.
“Test”
According to http://overthecap.com/calculator/st-louis-rams , if you cut Long and Wells and trade Bradford, we wind up with $25,984,097 in 2015, $70,115,005 in 2016 and $108,294,157 in 2017 for available cap.
So after spending about $1,542,000 on Foles and setting aside a few million on the draft, who we buying with the remaining $21 million plus on? Better not be saved for stadium cushions in LA. I am hoping they get busy (and productive) in either new signings or get busy with contract restructuring/extensions (FA16: Brockers, Sims, Barron, Zuerlein — FA17: Chris Long).
In looking at the last 30 Years of Rams…
- Better than Spagnuolo, Linehan & Knox Round 2.
- On par to slightly better than Brooks.
- Not at all as good as Martz, Robinson or Vermeil.
The division has returned to the difficulty level of the past (Linehan and Spags blew the opportunity to capitalize on a weak division), but the biggest concern to me is there has been no growth in output. You could point to improvements in play last year over his first season, but the outcome was exactly the same. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we were 6-7 wins this year and I am not sure if I will ever see Fischer coach a 10+ win Rams squad.
So all that said 6.28318530718, or 2x pi.
