Breakdown on 2001 vs 2018 Rams offense
A) Warner> Goff
Warner is better than 2018 Goff because Warner could succeed with awful O lines (see 2008-09 Cards). And, the Rams couldn't pass protect like the 2018 Rams. So, Goff has it pretty easy.....
B ) O line (LT-RT)
Pace>Whitworth
Nutten<Saffold
McCollum<Sullivan
Timmerman<Blythe/Brown
Tucker=Havenstein
The 2018 Rams line, now, is rated the #1 line the NFL. They have 4 guys with 78+ rating. 25 teams don’t even have more than 1 guy with 75+ rating. This gives Goff an extra ½ second that Warner never, ever had. 2 of the 3 interior Ram O lineman are C- at best, while the Rams interior functions at B+/A-.
C) PASSING EFFICIENCY: Warner passing + His O line<Goff passing + His O Line
The above sentence is a paraphrase of the paragraph below:
Summary of the “efficiencey” of QB position in 2018 vs 2001 Rams---incl O line play:
Warner is better than Goff as a QB (right now), because Warner knew how to succeed with a mediocre line—Goff doesn’t; however, Goff and his superior O line play make the 2018 Rams passing game as effective or better and more consistent because they can run and pass at a more consistent level, and right now, equal level (see stats); and so, the overall effect of the 2018 superior O line makes Goff and his ‘efficiency’, by the end of this year, better than what Warner accomplished. Can Goff do in the playoffs what Warner did? IDK, probably not yet.
Looking at stats, they are equal enough, but this 2018 team can control the game and go down the field, too. The two teams are equal in TDs and points, but 2018 rams have much fewer interceptions and sacks. Faulk could not run throughout a 4 quarter game and get yardage against good teams like Gurley has (see 1999 playoffs---45 yards rushing, or so, in 3 games)
Yes, I know there are 12 games to go. But, I have seen the progression from 2017 to now with Goff and he is not getting lucky; he is threading the needle as well as Warner ever did. He had a 6th TD go off the thumb of the Vikings safety n the 4th quarter. Goff is as intelligent as Kurt, but needs a few years to get to his level.
D) Breakdown of other Skill players:
Bruce>Woods
Holt=Cooks (Cooks is in line for 1,700 yds)
Hakim<Kupp (see TDs & clutch receptions; Hakim disappears in playoff man coverage)
2001 TE=2018TE
Faulk=Gurley (Gurely has the superior line, and better speed, w/o the moves and intelligence, though). Ok, so Faulk might be better, but in actual reality the results look almost the exact same---just accomplished a bit differently. Gurley is not tough like Faulk, I do have to say, but he is gritty like Faulk when he wants to score.
E) IT is the 2018 Rams
I watch all those old Ram games, and when the 2001 Rams play some tough teams like the Giants, they wilted sometimes---see superbowl vs Patriots. The 2001 O line is not as smart or tough as this one. I was always a bit unhappy with the lack of physicality in the Rams 2001 offense---2018 Rams Mach II have rectified that.
