    69RamFan;

    When Wolford came in for a start
.

    If the OL was so good, they would be able to hold their pass protection blocks.

    But look what Wolford had to do, he had to run instead of pass

    He had to run six times against the Cards, who’s DL is not the greatest.

    Then Wolford played against the Hags, he had to run once early in the game and got his bell rung


    So to say that we have a great OL
 if posters believe that, then they better trade in their old pair of eye glasses and with thicker lens
.

    To say that Goff couldn’t go through his reads,,, how could he when the OL didn’t give him time to go through them


    I believe Stafford is a better QB,,, but he is still going to need protection from the OL to go down field, if not, I don’t see him doing any better without upgrading the middle of our OL.

    ============

    I agree with every word of that.

    Sometimes you cant just ‘reduce’ an OLine down to one phrase,
    like “Oline good,” or “Oline bad.”

    I thought the rams oline was difficult to describe last year.
    But in general i thought they did well-enough run blocking,
    for the most part. But when they were behind and had to
    pass, it was not consistently good and there were times some players
    were just bad.

    I have no idea what to expect from them next year.
    I keep thinking LT is a really odd situation, because
    you have a topnotch talent — but for how long? 8 games?
    12 games? And then what?

    The Rams draw the Ravens, who pounded the living-shit
    out of them last time, i believe.

    Who do the other division teams draw?

    Replacing Garropolo with a qb on the rookie scale frees up massive cap space for the 9ers next year. I’d be shocked if the 9ers ditch Jimmy G for the 2021 season.

    With the money the Niners save by moving on from Jimmy G, they’ll be able to pick up a high demand FA or a couple key guys.

    The Rams, I think, are already over next year’s cap, btw.

    =========

    Good point.

    Course it only works if they hit on the right QB.

    Very interesting division.

    Part of Goff’s erratic play was making poor reads. That’s what people in a position to know have said. He just didn’t make reads at times.

    Why not? Some people are saying 5 years isn’t enough time. I’m inclined to think that by Year 5, he should have been better. That’s all.

    A butterfly flaps his wings, and causes a tornado on Mars.

    Pats playing the Chiefs in the playoffs. Brady gets another
    questionable call in his favor. Chiefs lose.

    Rams and Goff have to play Pats instead of Chiefs in the super bowl.

    If that call in the chiefs/Pats game goes the other way,
    who knows where Goff and McVay would be now.

    So many things in sports are ‘like that.’ An inch here,
    a penalty there. The Saints easily could have been
    in two more Super Bowls.

    My point? Goff has already proved to ‘me’ he can win a ring.
    What he did in the big Monday Night game, and what he did
    in the Saints playoff game showed me that.

    I think Goff will have a fine career, and given the right
    cast and some luck, wouldnt surprise me a bit if he won a ring.

    The disintegration of the Goff/McV relationship was probly
    the most startling Ram player/coach disintegration I can remember.

    The coaching of Goff was mishandled and the public pre-trade treatment
    was mishandled by McSnead. I doubt if i ever feel ‘quite’ the same
    about McV or Snead. Startling lack of class by both, imho.

    Having said all that, I ‘do’ like the ‘decision’ to upgrade to Stafford.
    Thats how i think of it — as an upgrade. But we shall see.

    It better be an upgrade.

    That is all on McVay. That is the only way I can read all of this–that’s the only thing that adds up and stands up to scrutiny.

    ————

    Oh, he mishandled Goff alright. Surprisingly so, to me.
    I mean, you just dont tear your QB down like that.
    Seems like coaching 101 stuff to me.
    Doesnt quite make any sense to me that McVay would be that dum
    about something like that.

    Lombardi once yelled at Bart Starr in a practice. Sensitive, HOF QB, Bart Starr.
    Starr waited and talked to Lombardi, alone, in the coaches office.
    He said, ‘Never do that again.’ Lombardi never did it again.

    …Lombardi also built the best OLine
    in the NFL. And that was that.

    Yeah, the Lindsey Thiry article is good.
    It prettymuch says what we all kinda thought though. Just a gradual erosion
    in trust/faith by McVay.

    McVay’s view was that Goff just wasn’t making enough plays,
    and was too limited in his decision-making-process.

    McVay blamed Goff.

    The jury is out on whether McVay is right about any
    or all of that, but it does sound like the
    young-aggro coach didnt ‘handle’ his
    quarterback in a way that would bring out the best in Goff.

    McVay is no Dick Vermeil. Course DV needed Martz.

    Lets hope McVay has his ‘Martz’, this year.
    Or if McVay is Martz, lets hope he has his DV.
    Or somethin.

    “..they didn’t even know who Jared was with the fact that you keep reading about, ‘Well, this is all McVay’s system. McVay has done this, McVay has done that.’ Well, the thing was is that they weren’t doing what Jared’s really good at, which is getting in the shotgun and letting him go through progressions and letting him throw the football around. He was under center, faking jet sweeps, play-action passes…”
