PFF has nothing to do with record. They analyze a player play by play and give grades on individual performance. Preseason or not, Goff performed better than any other QB according to them.

So does this mean that now PFF knows what they are talkin about?

Then there's my 6th rd ROD mock sleeper RB De'Angelo Henderson who's making me look good so far in pre season. He's turning some heads in Denver.

Coastal Carolina is churning 'em out these days.

Oh and that small school TE guy....making plays for the Horns. :)

I dunno about that. Prove it to me and I'll eat some crow.
Lol google 2009 NFL preseason and look for yourself. Btw they were3-1 that year. 2011 they were 4-0 and the backups did the majority of the winning.

Compare Goff this pre-season to last.......enough said!!! Goff's not there yet, but the arrow is trending up; it WAS a giant step in the right direction.

Sorry but I have to do this....

Spags had a really good preseason team as well...

he went on to go 1-15 in the regular season.
If I recall right, his first team offense never scored a TD in preseason that year.

I was at the season opener that year in Seattle. The defense played really well until the offense repeatedly shot itself in the foot and Bulger missed wide open receivers by a country mile. The defense gave the offense a short field the entire first half but simply got worn down - mostly mentally by the complete futility of that offense. It was disgusting.

This must mean nothing, right? I mean everyone said PFF did not know what they were talking about when Mannion was the #1 QB in the NFC west after the first preseason game.

yeah after doing a little research it was the 2nd teams that would win games. Doesn't say much, well....preseason doesn't really say much. Sure you can pick out a couple players that stand out. But as a team, you can never really tell how they're going to perform.
Here's to hoping we do well this season! :yay:

There were 2 guys from that draft that had an NFL career of any note. Quinn and Kendricks.. we drafted Greg Salas and Austin Pettis in that draft and I don't think they can compare to Josh Reynolds and Cooper Kupp. Steven Jackson was at the end of his career, and our OLine play was really bad. I have not seen WR separation this good since the Warner days. Spags was a defense guy, and defenses are always ahead of offense in the preseason.

Yeah. I pretty much watch preseason games to see how the first unit plays against the other team's first unit. Other than that maybe how a few players I'm interested in seeing make the team. Aside from that? Not much meaning to preseason beyond that of a scrimmage.

In the same vein however, I wouldn't look at a previous preseason record and assume it has anything to do with this team.

Cheers and Go Rams!!!

And I believe prior to their infamous 0-16 regular season, the Lions went 4-0 in the preseason.

Still, I liked what I saw from Goff. I'm still not satisfied with how Gurley is running, though.
I was thinking of this the other day. Teams that go 4-0 in the preseason don't always do too well in the regular season. And I too am concerned a little about Gurley and I've been in his corner from the start. He seems to have hit somewhat of a wall. Im hoping he is just saving a little bit right now after that brutal season last year.
