You can't judge Goff playing under Jeff Fisher and Rod Boras, who should be scrubbing toilets rather than coordinating an offense. You can only judge Goff based on how he looks playing for an actual NFL head coach and a real offensive coordinator.

Some keep saying they wouldn't start Goff under the current coaching staff, because they are so bad. They need firing, definitely...However, waiting for the perfect situation to start Goff is crazy. Delaying his learning process against real NFL defenses by a whole year, is wasting a year of progress with him. What if Kroenke sticks doggedly to Fisher next year? So do we wait two years to start Goff? (The answer is no)

No rookie QB gets it perfect, and comparing him to Bradford is crazy...Bradford is NOT a franchise QB, because he can't function without things being perfect..He is a high priced back up, imo, and always will be...milking multi-millions for another 5-10 years from team(s) expecting to turn a sows ear into silk cloth.

He doesn't need to "work out". Good nutrition, work hard in practice, should alleviate the need to "work out"
He's a QB not a body builder

Do you really want Fisher teaching this young man the howtobe an NFL QB? I don't. There's a reason why every skill position player has regressed on offense since fisher has come here. The guy is clueless.
:redcard: BS Alert! You can't possibly Believe that our skill position player, Gurley-Britt- Austin are worse than we had in say 2009-2011!
I don't usually say or do anything like this But, in your case ..

IF, then we're fucked as it seems right now. This isn't a joke or some miraculous turnaround.

I feel like coaching is the most important thing, and that needs to be fixed long term first and foremost. The Rams as an organization draft better than they have since the Vermiel days now, so the loss of picks is not the end of the world even if the kid doesn't pan out. If they bring in a strong offensive mind who can teach, he will be able to coach up a QB they take whenever to lead this franchise.

I don't think Goff is going to bust though. Quite sure of that as a matter of fact, and that is based on seeing him look so good in camp, in person. I said before that there was not the dropoff everyone's talking about from Keenum to him, or even Mannion to him. That was in practice. The fact he wasn't Joe Montana in the preseason snaps doesn't mean much tbh, because based on what I saw with my own eyes I think he will immediately give us mid to deep strike ability which will pair nicely with Gurley.

Going a step further I'm also going to say the Rams simply should have given him the snaps and preps to lead this team. I realize why Fish bet on Keenum, but Fish made a mistake in allowing himself to think Case is more than what he is. It's pretty clear right now that had they just given the kid all the preps and committed to him from day one to include adjusting the offense to him, like allowing him to run mostly shotgun for example, this offense would be far better off.

But since hindsight is 20/20 I'll go easy on all that. It doesn't matter in the end. All that matters is the way forward right now, and that should be Goff.

Don't let Fishers stupid ass decisions scare you on the kid, Goff has the ability to be a great QB.

It's not Fishers stupid ass decisions that scare me.
It's fishers stupid ass schemes and coaching that i am afraid will
ruin Goff before he has a chance to get started.

Fisher will find a job as a DC for a loosing college team & Snead will never find his way back into the higher personnel positions where he will have any major voice in the drafting of NFL teams again.

Perfect type of Snead quote.
The Rams really looked bad on Mondaybnight !! Guess what ? Fisher & Snead should be worried about not getting an extension. They also better get ready to feel the hot seat.
