You should probably go back and re-read what I said, because I didn't imply any such thing. You may have inferred that, but that's on you. I said that you're implying he would have won the games "Keenum lost", as well as winning the same games games the Rams won. I'm talking about them individually. Would he have had a 4 TD game against the Lions? Would he have had a better game than Keenum the first game of the season, despite the game plan? Lotta things go into these things that aren't on the QB. It's just as feasible that he would have won all the games the Rams lost, and lost all the games the Rams won.
You may not have intended to say it, but you did. That's not on me. I'll quote you:
That implies that Goff would have won all the games the Rams lost, and nobody knows that.
You're inferring again. I didn't imply you didn't understand English. I simply implied that you weren't getting the meaning as it relates to Fisher's philosophy. And Fisher's philosophy isn't antiquated. Lotta QBs don't start their first full season, and that goes back as early as 2014. Bortles didn't start until game 3, Bridgewater didn't start til game 3, Manziel didn't start until game 15 (and did horribly) after having spot-duty before that. QBs are played when they're ready. Not sooner (unless there's an injury to the incumbent).
Fisher's philosophy is antiquated. Mike Zimmer follows the same philosophy. Bortles shouldn't have started at all his rookie year. Manziel didn't start for obvious reasons. The same reasons he's out of the NFL.
Bortles is the only QB drafted in the top 3 since 2008, other than Goff, who didn't start Week 1 of his rookie year.
Simply put, teams manage to get their QBs ready far quicker than the Rams have. That failure falls on the coaching staff.
And I can call and Ace an Ace. He didn't botch anything. He just isn't doing it the way you want.
He did botch it. He didn't do what I wanted nor what the majority of the NFL does now. How many rookie QBs have to play well this year for Fisher to recognize how silly he's being?
Well, I disagree. I know when a loss is on a QB only, and when it's a team loss. I've also seen every interception and I know when that's on someone other than the QB. In fact, we had a rather lengthy debate about one of them and you finally acquiesced that it wasn't on Keenum, but on Cooper. 3 of his interceptions were also on receivers in the last game. So, you're just not being objective anymore. MAYBE Goff would have done better, but it's also conceivable that he could have done worse. We'll never know. All we do know is that Goff was throwing a lot of picks with the scout team against our defense, so it was clear that he wasn't picking things up as immediate as everyone thought he would.
Nope. That never happened. I acquiesced in accepting that Cooper ran a poor route. The pick six was still on Keenum. His pass lacked velocity and was poorly placed.
Three of his interceptions were not on WRs last game. Two of them were.
Regardless, every QB has that happen to them. Keenum is throwing interceptions at an unacceptable rate, and he's fallen apart three games in a row in crunch time.
The odds are overwhelmingly in favor of Goff doing better. You're not being objective anymore.
