GDT: Rams at Broncos

[jrry32]

Goff made a mistake on that Stewart near pick. But outside of that, he's looking good today.

 

[Loyal]

That's why Goff should start imo. You let him learn on the field. He can make throws that Keenum simply can't.

Goff made the one mistake, because he is learning the speed of NFL defender (almost pick 6)...He has had drops, but he has been very accurate so far

 

[Gandalf]

14/24, 1 int and 2 fumbles in the preseason so far against 2nd/3rd teamers. What are you watching?

It doesn't help that his WRs are 2nd and 3rd stringers and can't catch the damn ball.

Broncos starting defense subbed out or still in there?

 

[jrry32]

No, he's not. Maybe his arm is ready, but his head isn't.

Your head doesn't get ready sitting on the bench.

One thing ive seen Goff do that our other QBs dont is test the tight windows in the middle of the field. Those throws take balls, accuracy, and arm strength. The problem is his receivers arent hanging on through contact and those have been his best throws.

His issues have mostly come on the timing routes. Those things will only get better with time.

Keenum is better now and more ready, but I would still start Goff because his problems are due to experience more than anything. Only way he gets that experience is playing

I get the impression that Goff is a great student and will develop due to his desire. He looks way different then Bradford did when he is talking to the Coaches. He looks like a student wanting to learn. Not a guy being defensive. Just an observation and hunch

Goff looking good. Huge improvement from preseason games 1 and 2. Give him some more snaps into the 2nd half. If he keeps it up, I say start him week 1.

Not 100% true. He needs to continue working on playbook, dropbacks, snaps. He's got too much to process right now, and it's slowing him down. Get all that to be second nature, and he's back to his Cal levels.

 

[BelgianRam]

I think we also need to realize that during the last series goff was playing the broncos 1's with rams 2's. He's improving week to week which is very encouraging

 

[Orchid]

sure thing. It would be interesting too see because it was my understanding he doesnt play alot on the outside.

Thanks.

It's not going to slow down while he sits on the bench. It slows down as he gets used to NFL speed and seeing NFL defensive looks. You get that by playing.

 

[VeteranRamFan]

Anyone else think that cooper catch was intended to go further downfield to Thomas?

Exactly! Was meant for 13 Thomas.

 

[JoeBo21]

welp.. both teams droppin pick 6s

 

[Orchid]

They need to throw it down field once in awhile, just to keep the defense from jumping all those short routes.

Do not know if it will workout, but my feeling is that the 10 to 25 yard passing game is what they are holding back and not showing in preseason.

 

[rdlkgliders]

What do you guys think of Everett? He is a bit goofy

 

[OldSchool]

Sorry don't see it, went right too Cooper he's not going to under throw Thomas that much.

 

[Loyal]

Kenum can't make the throws Goff can...with Gurley (WHERE THE HELL IS HE?!?!?!), I think the kid will win games for us......I have seen a lot of good things from the kid already this game....I say start him Week One vs a suckass team....Good for his confidence.

Meh inexperience

Denver pretty much played their starters on both sides of the ball the entire half
