Yeah, consider that the source is Keyshawn Johnson on the Ram's hating Morning Show on the Ram's Station, ESPN LA...but Key is saying that he spoke to someone within the Ram's organization that Goff will be made to look like he's much improved in the game. but he won't make the team good enough to win. Now, Johnson already had a strong take prior to Preseason that Goff is a bust and so he may be selectively talking to someone that agrees with his point of view for confirmation...
It's funny that they had Bill Pollian as a guest, a former talent evaluator of QB's like Peyton Manniing, Jim Kelly, and Dan Marino...Of course Key was chummy with Pollian and believed when he asked the question, thinking Polian would naturally agree with him, "Is Jared Goff in the same class as those guys when they were drafted?" I literally can envision Johnson smirking at this point, This is essentially what he said:
"No he (Goff) is not, but it's not his fault. There was a greater ability to evaluate those guys because they stayed in school for four years. Goff was picked by the Rams because he had good arm strength, accuracy, and is athletic...but, he comes from a system that is so totally different than an NFL offense. Goff is not alone, like all of the rookie QB's picked this year, they leave school early and normally come from spread offenses. It's like NCAA basketball players that play a year in college and then go to the NBA. Since Goff was put in such a bad situation last year and has had to learn a new system this year, it would take at least 6 games for me to evaluate him, as to what he will be in the NFL."
I imagine Key didn't like that too much, because it didn't confirm his bias.
