I do have a few nagging doubts about Goff that I didn't have immediately after the game on Saturday. As a couple have said, flv for one, I didn't like that all of Goff's passes were single read passes, which probably won't be nearly as available to him in actual games. The other thing that disturbed me was that he telegraphed his throws by staring down his target before throwing the ball. I will be focusing on that in the Oakland game.
Franchise QB's attack the defense, which I have yet to really see Goff do. I did see Mannion do that against the back ups. Goff needs to have moments where he shreds a defense. Please Jared. let the Big Dog eat...
I wouldn't be too worried about the single read passes (at this point in the season). Don't forget Goff was pummelled last year, beaten, bruised and found wanting by the press - no matter who you are, that IS going to affect you mentally. What I think McVay has done is pure sports psychologist stuff. He kept it simple, making the success rate of throws higher, boosting Goff's confidence. Winning creates winners, if Goff executes the basics, by week 1 we'll see a different Goff and a different Rams O. I've never been a fan of Goff - or the Goff trade, but you know, it's out of my control, thats all I can do is get behind our QB. As for a bad day in TC - it happens, he'll bounce back.
I've said it in another thread our WRs, in my mind, as a unit are now a strength of this team - Watkins, Woods, Kupp and Austin are all threats. We need to get them the ball.
I know there are a lot of Mannion haters at ROD, but I really do think he looked good.
