These guys are idiots , but another example of why I think no young QB has ever had it harder than Goff. The media is constantly trashing him and has been since he didn't start week 1 last year. Jeff Fisher is to blame for alot of it, i hope Jared proves them all wrong . HE'S ONLY 22 YEARS OLD !!

Anybody with at least a teaspoon of functional grey matter knows that Goff's playing time went by the script. I think those two were just stirring the pot, trying to be controversial to gain attention.

It worked...

The best thing we can do is ignore them completely. If they pop up on our TV or radio, immediately change the channel/station. Don't click on videos or podcasts. No ratings/clicks...no more knotheads...

The media loves "breaking someone's balls" of a #1QB pick
It takes all of a couple of clicks to find out that McVay said prior to the Preseason game, that Goff would not play that many snaps. They did not do that, that makes them incompetent at their jobs, imo.

Can you imagine if McVay left Goff in behind Pace Murphy and managed to get his starting QB badly injured? These guys would have been climbing over each other to rip the Rams for hiring such an incompetent young coach.

I watched a replay of Rams v Cowboys 2005 last weekend -- (remember Joe Vitt ?)

Anyway the Cowboys lost and the commentators were lamenting the fact that behind Drew Bledsoe they had nothing!!

They had this kid Romo who has shown nothing!

So Romo was trashed even after strong showings in pre-season before he was given an opportunity - so Goff a number 1 pick is bound to get trashed after going 0-7 to start his career.

The only way to shut them up is prove them wrong -- one play at a time.

GO RAMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is more than being trashed. This is making shit up. They know they are making shit up, but arent worried about it cause they t

Not one starter played more than a series. They know this. Nothing but click bate.

I love this team like the rest of you. But I can't say I disagree. I didn't like the move at all. Trading that high up, to me, was a stunt. No one, a month earlier, thought he was a top tier QB. And I still don't. If he is the QB here in 2 years, I'll be fucking shocked.

All that said, I hope to be proven wrong and he is a beast, but everything in my gut tell me he is now and has always been over his head. I truly believe this game is too big for me.

Please don't thrash me, it's just my gods honest opinion, and I hope the kid lights it up.

Naw, we are not trashing them for looking at last year and surmising that Goff is not good enough. We ARE trashing them for using faulty reasoning, ignorance, trolling, to impute reasons on McVay for why Goff played 8 snaps.. They could have found the answers, but no..they talked out of their @ss...

I can't speak for anyone else but it's honestly fine for you to have that opinion. While I disagree with you completely I can't knock you for having that opinion especially with the lack of production god had last year. And if that's the only reason for these guys to attack goff then I for one would be okay with it. The issue I, and I feel like most people here have, is they brought up him only playing 8 plays as a legit argument for why he sucks when if anything that means the Rams believe in goff. My issue isn't with their opinion rather the arguement they use to try and back up their opinion

I just love sending out tweets to trash like this. I know they won't respond, and that's okay. Makes me feel better.

Yea to think that is why they pulled him is stupid.

Reported as inappropriate.

Don't use the inappropriate button for that because it reflects badly on the member, which is why I removed it. Use it only if threats, name calling, or trolling is posted by a member.

Best comments on this video from the good folks over at You Tube: :)
-----------
ESPN No. A bunch of people only played limited time IN THE 1ST PRESEASON GAME. Who do you guys sell this BS to, pathetic.
---------
Just get some Good Offensive Linemen and you will easily be Playoff Contenders.
---------
If Goff was on any other team we would never hear any "bust" talk. Same old Ram's bashing by the media.
---------
The guy never played in a pro style system in college and never took a snap under center. He had terrible coaching under Fisher and an OC that was a linebackers coach with zero playcalling experience. I say at least give him a chance this season under McVay before the "bust" label.
---------
When Goff entered his 1st game the Rams WRs were ranked 32nd in the league, OL was ranked 28th, the running game horrible too, and the coaching on the offensive side was wretched. The Rams WRs also had multiple players leading the league in drop %. "Well deserved" my ass, fool. Very few QBs will succeed in this situation, especially a 21 year old rookie.
--------
WTF ESPN?! Goff made the pass. Woods fumbled the pass. Are you kidding me?! F****** ESPN. I'd rather watch FOX.
-----------
So, an underage rookie starts 7 games his first season, with the worst offense in football and a defense-minded coach, plays two series in the preseason opener (as planned), and he's a bust??? Did you all forget about the rookie seasons of Aikman, Manning, Bradshaw and others who went on to have great careers and win Super Bowls?

You fools sitting in the ESPN studio don't have a clue. Watch the first half highlights from the Rams-Saints game last year, and then tell me that this kid is going to be a bust. Who hires these "experts"?
---------
I see why espn has fallen off lately...
-------
I guess Dak really sucks for the Cowboys...he didn't play at all if you follow this logic. This is perhaps the single most idiotic thing ESPN has posted all summer. Goff went 3 for 4. Except for his first pass that appeared as if he changed his mind and tried to pull back the throw, the others were right on the money. Do they really pay you guys for this?
--------
This is so dumb. If they pulled him for that reason why would he still be practicing with all the 1's everyday in training camp?
--------
I'm going to wait after this season to say if he's a bust or not. You have Jeff Fisher as your coach, you aren't going to prosper offensively. Plus the Rams got more dynamic receivers now.
------
Ryan you suck, Rams needed a Qb and giving up on him is crazy and you reporting they are is more crazy, you suck, stick to the NBA and being Van pelts side kick
---------
This guy should be fired. He clearly has no clue about anything. Goff didn't get benched. He played the exact amount of snaps coach McVay said he would before the game and actually preformed really well. What a sad excuse for a sports reporter. Get a clue before you embarass yourself anymore. Smh.
---------
Espn is just slow in the news department. After Goffs good year this season they will be kissing goffs ass and mcvays. Just remember these videos rams fans
--------
pulling goff so early was likely due to whitworth being pulled. whit as you know is 35 and does not need much preseason work so getting him just a few snaps is important for the long season ahead. if you watched the game you will know the backup tackle did not look good and i doubt pace murphy makes the team.

a better option would have been andrew donnal but he was out with an injury. to me a competent backup to whitworth is the team's biggest need followed by solid guard play from the right side.

goff is going to be a star in this league but programs like this may be the reason espn has become pretty bad of late. i do not watch epsn and especially the talking heads but have read many comments to the effect that they have become the suck of late.
---------
The problem with anybody in the media calling Goff a bust is that they all thought he was going to be good. Nobody was expressing doubt before the draft but you're going to act like the Rams are the only people who were supposed to know Goff wouldn't work? Why aren't they calling out Kiper and Mcshay? To ESPN analysts that had Goff at the top of their boards?
---------
I wish BSPN would just go away. So easy for armchair "sports talk" guys to proclaim shit like this after 7 games. SEVEN GAMES. Man are these hosts annoying to listen as well. BTW, Wentz looked like crap after his first 3 games last year, and that was with an actual coaching staff behind him. Somehow I doubt these schmucks are ready to throw in the towel on him.....
---------
This argument is ridiculous. Give Goff a few years before you label him a bust. Peyton Manning led the NFL in picks his rookie year. Troy Aikman was 0-11 as a starter his rookie year. Both will be hall of famers. RG III and Rick Mirer won Offensive Rookie Of The Year awards and both turned out to be busts.
--------
Most qbs dont hit really there stride til year 4 or 5. Lets just see if he shows progress this year. I thought he was a 1st round talent when I saw him at Cal. I think the fact he went number 1 vs like number 14 overall raised the expectation level. Hes the same player. I think if they properly build around him, he will be good.
---------
The problem is they drafted a spread/shotgun QB and tried to run a traditional set with him behind the worst offensive line in the league. If it was just Goff that was so bad, shouldn't Gurley have at least continued to improve? He was terrible.

What about the other quarterbacks that played for the Rams? Terrible, too. First get Goff some protection and then hire a offensive coordinator that will run a system similar to what Atlanta ran last year. Goff has the arm & accuracy to make any throw, but he needs to be in a better system to have success.

That is nonsence.... everyone (pundants) had Goff in the conversation for the Browns pick.... sliding to the 9ers worst case.... I myself had scouted all the QB'S entering the draft and I had likened Goff to Payton Manning. ...not Matt Ryan... it may be high praise...we will see...by the way I was high on both Wendz Prescott also.....I digress... everyone was high on Goff including Walter Football... who now calls him Goof.... but had him ranked as the best QB prospect coming out.....they can laugh it up for now....they will all eat they're words ...... and no way they give up on Goff after this year in my opinion........he will be great...patients. ..lol I'm done venting...... ;)

Go Rams........ ;)
