Oh please - you can't compare them because of salaries - each year the cap goes up and each year new QB salaries go up. Rodgers signed his contract quite a few years ago when QB salaries were quite a bit lower. Goff is just high since a lot of QBs signed their contracts a few years ago.
I am going over the Seattle game pass by pass and I will show you that Goff really did not make too many bad passes - at least in the first half - except for the really really really horrible pass. You can complain all you want about that pass because it was horrible. It was just a bad decision on Goffs part and I am hoping we won't see that again. He seems to learn from his mistakes most of the time. Since the Miami game, he has been better at handling blitzes and keeping the ball in his hands. He still from time to time gets hit from behind and fumbles the ball but I see that from ALL QBs.
I had a discussion with Jrry about this play too and felt maybe he should have gone to Higbee instead but Jrry felt it was a risky pass with a defensive player in Goffs line of sight of Higbee and felt Reynolds was a nice safe pass.And btw here's what I'm talking about with Goff being too safe. This is the second play from scrimmage last Sunday. Goff boots and has two clear options and doesn't even consider the deeper of the two options (Higbee). You can see which is usual for a McVay non-short yardage type play that there's a few options there for the QB to choose between to include a mid/deep route. Also in this case it's half the field with the boot. He takes the short option and of course Reynolds gets hit and his progress stopped by a guy who probably weighs 30 lbs less than him.... Fuckin Reynolds man.

Higs would have been a nice gainer had he hit him immediately out of his boot. But he's not thinking aggressively, he is thinking defensively. IMO. This might end up being a godsend for him. I'm serious, a short break that lets him reset himself mentally. Just hope we can get in.
I am surprised that Rodgers signed for that amount because Rodgers is a proven HOF QB but again QB salaries seem to exponentially go up each year so it doesn't surprise me that Goff is making the same amount of money as Rodgers signing a year later.
And really you can make a rational argument that he's one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL when he has a winning record each year - really - that has to be one of the most unfounded statements I have ever heard.
Haha thank you
Rodgers signed one year before Goff did. Nice try tho.
Mahomes signed a year later and is making 10 million more a year. Salaries are going up exponentially so if Goff was being paid ike a HOF QB he should be making at least 5 million more that Rodgers.
Of course there is. You can point "to" 18 wins in 2 seasons
And if some receivers catch some really important passes or a placekicker makes a FG he makes in his sleep the majority of the time, he would have at least 2 to 4 more wins
Mahomes is Jordan bro. That would make Goff Vlodi Devok. Lol
I consider Rodgers right below Mahomes in ability. Mahomes is top tier but Aaron Rodgers is second tier in his ability to win games with a team that doesn't even have many good WR other than Adams. The only main difference between Mahomes and Rodgers is that Mahomes is a lot younger than Rodgers and that gives him a 10 year contract vs a 4 yr contract.
I think it shows Goff's mentality right now. QBs can actually get too careful and I think Goff is there right now.
Oh I don't disagree with you on that. I am a whole write up on each Goff pass in the Seattle game where I believe a more confident QB makes some of those throws you are talking about. I think it will be really good for Goff to watch the game from the sideline. And maybe get his head back in the game. I have no problem stating Goff has not played well in these two games. But to say Goff is a below average QB when he led us to victories over Tampa Bay and Arizona where he played very well, I do have a problem with that.
I got a little testy there. However, I have thought about this a little more and with the way veteran QB salaries are going and the way Goff has played, I think he deserves maybe $30 million a year instead of $35 million a year but unfortunately someone else would have paid that amount for him so the Rams were forced to pay that amount especially the way he played in 2018.
Agreed. I have Ryan and Goff as in the same Tier and with near exact profiles. Both pocket passers that can shred defenses and play at an MVP level with solid protection. Both highly decrease behind subpar blocking where other mobile QB’s can play better. Both have led their teams to Super Bowls without top defenses.
