Stafford will be a difference maker – L.A. Rams offensive film study with Kurt Warner
View: https://youtu.be/AcF7zYaQ
Hard not to be. Stafford has a lot of the stuff you have to wake up in the morning with. Can’t learn the things he does no matter how hard you work. God blessed this dudeKurt’s in love with our new QB!
Which play are you talking about. I did not see any play that he made the wrong throw.Thanks for posting this. Love Kurt's analysis always! Such great videos. Not to focus on Goff but the play at 13:20 is exactly why Goff is no longer in LA. A 2 route progression and he doesn't see the wide open WR in the middle of the field for a chunk gain, and instead chooses to check down underneath. Inexcusable. 5 years in the NFL and still cant see this. The more film you see the more McVay's frustration makes sense.
Super excited to see all these elite concepts with Stafford at the helm. Also expect us to use more shotgun and 5 wide sets which is what Stafford ran a lot in Det. Should be a great blend and tough offense to stop this year.
I included the timestamp in my original post so you can go watch it again. It's clear as day and Kurt Warner, a HOF qb pointed it out how Goff missed the read. He even circled the wide open Reynolds and said "this should have been the throw." It was a 2 route progression, and Goff didn't even make it to his 2nd read who was wide open middle of the field for a chunk gain. He decided to check down to the RB when he wasn't even pressured. There's nothing to argue or discuss. This isn't an anti-Goff point of view. Its a fact, plain as day that was pointed out by Warner. And this is why Goff's yards per attempt was 32nd in the NFL. And this is why McVay shipped him out of LA. Stafford is a huge upgrade when it comes to the mental side of QBing. Reading a defense and going through progressions has never been a problem for him.Which play are you talking about. I did not see any play that he made the wrong throw.
The 4th play he might have been able to go deep but it was a much tougher throw than the easy short throw for an easy 20 yard play.
You are so anti-Goff that the littlest thing that Goff might have done wrong makes you bad mouth Goff.
All of the plays were designed to throw to the wide open man.
Maybe Stafford will throw to the deeper guy but I have seen him throw to the open guy going short too.
However, if he breaks from the pocket from being rushed, Stafford has been able to make a big play out of it.
Goff was never the guy who could make a play when the play breaks down.
So yes Stafford is an improvement over Goff in that area but Goff is a winner and has shown when given a lead by half time, he won't lose it for you.
Okay I didn't quite get to that play since I am at work and didn't look at the last play.I included the timestamp in my original post so you can go watch it again.

Agreed. It is what it is man. Time to move onwards and upwards. Let's go win a Championship.This isn't an anti-Goff point of view.
Might? The man was about as wide open as it gets in the NFL. You best believe McVay would be frustrated with his QB chickening out or not seeing him like Goff did there. Bad habits like that can cost us a win as the game goes on.Which play are you talking about. I did not see any play that he made the wrong throw.

Although I agree that Stafford > Goff, I don't wholeheartedly agree with Warner that this was a bad read. It wasn't OBVIOUS to me (even playing it back vs realtime) that he's open in the middle. There is a safety there that doesn't really turn his hips towards the other target until Goff has already started his dump off to Akers. If Goff chooses the tougher throw and that safety chooses differently, seems like a break up or pick to me.Thanks for posting this. Love Kurt's analysis always! Such great videos.

Lol I guess it makes sense to disagree with a HOF QB when he's talking about reading defenses. But the way this play works is his first read is outside, then 2nd read is inside. His key on the play is the safety, and he was not under pressure from the pass rush. So there is absolutely no excuse not to get to his 2nd read in the progression. Not his 3rd, not his 4th. His 2nd read. He couldn't get to his 2nd read who was literally wide open. It's not a "tougher" throw. Its the correct throw in the context of that play. WRs dont get more wide open than that, the safety wasn't even close man. Not even close. The outcome of the play is irrelevant . Even if the RB took it to the house it still would've been the wrong decision. Based on the look, it should've gone to his 2nd read 100%. This is an area where Stafford excels. He doesn't have issues processing mentally like this. IMO Wolford showed an ability to go through his progressions better than Goff in 2 starts. Just watch their eyes man. Turn on the film and watch their eyes it's not hard to see.Although I agree that Stafford > Goff, I don't wholeheartedly agree with Warner that this was a bad read.

The safer route/choice was Akers and he hit him with a full head of steam for big yards. I'd take that every day of the week!
All qb’s make stupid plays, or what appear to fans to be “stupid” plays. Brady made a number of them last year. Stafford made one in Week 2 against top division rival Green Bay when he threw a pick six in the flat from maybe his own ten yard line that basically took Detroit out of the game. It happens.Okay I didn't quite get to that play since I am at work and didn't look at the last play.
Yes Goff missed that read but the play still gained almost every yard that the deep throw would have made and it was a much safer play.
Goff saw that Akers/Henderson (didn't look closely) had an open field in front of him and went with the safer throw.
You are quibbling over 5 maybe 10 yards that the deeper throw would have made.
When I reviewed Goffs plays in several games this year, he made the possible wrong throw maybe 5 times a game.
Maybe you expect a QB to be perfect in every game. That's your call. I have no problem with a QB missing 5 throws a game since I have seen every QB miss 5 throws a game. (Edit - that should be make the wrong throw 5 times a game.)
The problem I did have with Goff is that he made a REALLY STUPID play a game (sometimes a few more like the Miami game) and I was hoping that he would stop doing that in his 6th year since that is the year most QBs stop making the really stupid plays.
But again - we now have Stafford so it doesn't matter anymore and he usually doesn't do a stupid play. He did make one against the Bears that lost the game for the Lions but other than that, he was usually in control. And Stafford is a much much more mobile QB and I think he will really fit McVay's game plan so as Old Not Dead said, this is a win win for both teams since Stafford is a much better fit for McVay's style of play.
Yeah but a couple of his were really really stupidAll qb’s make stupid plays, or what appear to fans to be “stupid” plays. Brady made a number of them last year.
