OT: What's the forum's opinion on Jared Goff?

[Froob]

Watched a couple of vids of all his throws from a number of games, and my immediate take away is how quickly he gets rid of the ball. He reminds me a lot of Peyton in that he gets rid of the ball quickly and unfortunately he also tends to lead his receivers into trouble. Hopefully he learns better and doesn't continue to do that like Peyton. His arm is strong and seems to be able to make all the throws. I know the numbers aren't impressive but, I'm really impressed on what he's been able to do with such a poor offensive line. I think if you put him and Guerly in Dallas they are tearing it up behind that line with those receivers. Looks like Rams basically threw away their season starting Keenum this whole year. One more reason to can Jeff Fisher.

Idk time will tell if that was the right choice or if they should of wentz and took carson instead

My opinion is that it sucks for a player of any caliber of talent to have as much weight on his shoulders as Goff does.

Right now he's in the worst offensive system in the league and I'm not sure there's anything positive for him on the horizon.

 

[Deus Irae]

He looks as if he's not ready for prime time. They should have kept him out for the whole year.

I think both will be good but, I prefer Goff. I don't know if it's a problem but, Wentz has unorthodox mechanics and he looks like he's moving in quick sand when he moves in the pocket. Wentz's style of play reminds me a lot of Big Ben. He was doing pretty well before they lost Lane Johnson.

I hope he's not another bortles.

In my opinion any QB picked in the first round, never mind top 2, should be expected to play week one.

Otherwise don't draft them that high.

If they are expected to redshirt, auto second round tag on them.

If he's truly an elite QB, then that goes to show collecting talent won't bring results, like most teams Rams think it is as simple as drafting the right QB then slapping em out there then boom dyansty, ehh takes legit good coaching for those things to pan out, you can have all the right cards but the cards aren't gonna play themselves and ehh ya kinda need to know how to play em right, look at the Jaguars, on paper looks like a Super Bowl contender, but the card holders don't know how play properly, swap our coaching staff with Jacksonville's and the difference would be night and day, same with some other teams as well which is why we are so great

 

[rochrist]

He's awful, and reportedly dumb as a post.

A promising project with some talent. Hard to draw any other firm conclusions about a guy whose coach stinks, receivers stink and offensive line isn't exactly good either.

Certainly not worthy of his draft slot at this point in time.

 

[fnordcircle]

There's a point where individual talent cannot overcome a dearth of team talent and a system that makes Raymond Berry look like Bill Walsh.

Brady in that system with that talent and that coaching staff at best looks like an All-Pro, not the GOAT.

 

[BradyFTW!]

He makes his reads quickly, which is a big plus. A lot of guys never develop that. But I can't get past how inaccurate he was. The headline coming out of that game was the drops, but a lot of those balls were difficult-to-impossible to catch anyway. Between that and his poor pocket presence, I'm pretty down on him. Could be a lot worse, and maybe he'll grow into it, but not encouraging so far.

At least two years away from becoming a real starter. He has tons of work to do.
Problem is he doesn't have the cast around him to help him on offense.
The coaching has been terrible too.

I completely disagree.

A team should always develop a QB. In fact I think the NFL should allow a team to "Redshirt" a rookie QB as an additional roster spot so that they can develop a QB.

IMO, throwing any QB who has, at best, faced defensive college programs with great 2-3 developed talent into the fire against NFL defensive programs who have elite talent with 5-10 years of development is a joke.

Always better to let them learn first. Hold a clipboard.

 

[RobertWeathers]

He's tall and has a strong arm.

 

[anditsgood]

IDK, i would like to see what a real coach could do with him

 

[turkeyneck]

On the other hand, the same was said of Terry Bradshaw when he was drafted.

 

[TennisBallHead]

He's a good football player.
