Yall already know how I feel.
Goffs been my QB. I like the person and the talent and I want to see him succeed, not just for the Rams but for Jared Goff too.
I also support Wolford, how could you not root for an underdog? How could you not like his moxy and enthusiasm? I was happy to cheer him on, making memes and being totally stoked for his opportunity. But last week after the Cardinals game I knew he was taking too many hits to the head... not that this was his fault. He shouldn't have been injured on that play... but playing fearless is a luxury for people who haven't been wrecked yet. The kid might have a bright future in the NFL and I hope he does. I'm a fan.
But Goff is my dude.
He is far from perfect. All but 3 or 4 QBs are consistently good year after year. For the other 28 or 29 teams, their QBs have ups and downs and its all about putting them in position to succeed.
Goff has weaknesses in his game like anyone and his particular problems are compounded by this O-lines weaknesses.
There couldn't have been more internal pressure on him tonight. He didn't play scared but he did play smart. He made the plays necessary to get us the W and he did it with an injured thumb and I have to believe injured pride. In a road playoff game against a division rival. He jogged on the field as if he was expecting it. When things started rough, he didn't panic. He let the game come to him rather than try to force it.
