Yes. He doesn't fit the mold. If anything, Wentz is closer to Steve McNair than Goff is.
That said, maybe they think Goff will be able to give them what they thought Bradford would provide.
Like I said, I have no idea what this offense is supposed to be, so I'm not even sure who the best QB would be IN it.

I think one of the biggest issues with the Ram's offense is the lack of a blueprint. Goff came from an air raid offense. That doesn't fit our ground and pound offense. Wentz came from a pro offense where they ran a lot. Wentz was the better fit. Goff may be the better talent, but how will he play in a conservative run heavy offense?

Hmm, the Bradford aspect is a possibility I guess. I sure hope it isn't painted by Goff being a native son, playing at Cal or some marketing garbage like that, because I'm just as clueless about this guy. I just assumed they saw things about him we didn't.
They say history doesn't repeat but it sometimes rhymes. In this case we have Bradford who hadn't played for an entire year before being selected at #1 and paid handsomely. Then along comes Foles who had a dubious record to begin with and they pony up what, another $6 mil before he's taken a single snap and only weeks before his eventual collapse.. Now we have Goff, who in reality was a big fish in a small pond at Cal, promoted to 1rst round selection status, with a sterling record of 14-23 and a load of excuses as to why that didn't matter and now there's a clamor because he's not ready.....what a revelation. :fuelfire:

I saw Fishers Press conference after the game, and it was surreal. I heard the calm voice of someone explaining that yes, the game was bad and not what he expected...but shoot we;ll fix that. It was like watching John Astor in top hat and tuxedo in all of his victorian overconfidence, listening to the music on the deck of the Titanic..oh so calmly...Meanwhile, "we" are running around crazily, trying to escape disaster. This late into his tenure, there is absolutely no explanation that is valid for the failure. None. I am still stunned at how bad we looked last night, in the worst loss that I can remember in decades.
Seriously, I wonder if Fish is delusional as well in denial.? He screwed the pooch as HC of the Rams, and there is no getting around it...Meanwhile, the band plays on, and we look for a lifeboat...

Well, yeah... and 31 other teams function that way.
Fisher doesn't and because of how Stan Kroenke runs his sports businesses (Josh Kroenke fired George Karl after a 57 win season and playoff wins so... different management styles there), Fisher has a level of insulation others don't.
In every conceivable scenario, you're right... except Fisher hasn't and won't do that.
Just watch... he's going to try and fit Goff into this monstrosity of a bassackwards offense.
The biggest worry I have is that two years in this nightmare of a broken offensive system (and it's offensive, that's for sure) and the young man will be so damn confused that it'll be damn near impossible to get him back on track before another HC (cuz that decision will eventually come) decides to move on.

You know, I have felt like this since 2013 after the Falcons game. He said he's not going to use the semi spread offense because he doesn't want to put the d in a bad spot with quick 3 and outs. This after the whole game was quick 3 and outs with drich running into the back of an olineman every running play. They didn't start moving on offense until they went into the hurry up spread them out offense.
Haven't been able to listen to his dinosaur voice since.
