Elite, franchise QB's....win playoff games at home....AT HOME!!!!! And play well in the process.
I went back and looked again at the extended highlights of that game, Champ. You’re just wrong about Goff here. I would actually say, for a 23-year-old he had an incredible game.
Goff battled, despite 2 disastrous special teams turnovers deep in our own territory early in the game. That’s 2 lost offensive drives. And 6 points to the opposition. (Credit the defense)
He battled, despite the defense losing Michael Brockers with six minutes left in the second quarter. The defense then began giving up more sustained drives. Keeping the ball out of Goff and the offenses hands.
Goff endured 4-6 drops by his receivers. Many of them were egregious. Yet he NEVER pulls that whiny-pussy move that quarterbacks like Eli Manning or Cam Newton pull of looking at their receiver and throwing up their hands and shaking their head with theatrics. As if to say: “Why didn’t you catch my great pass? Look! Look everyone in the stadium, and around the globe! It’s his fault!” That’s some pussy-ass, Jay Cutler, even Tom Brady crap.
No, Champ. You’re quarterback has too much character for that. He is a man. He is a leader. Start to appreciate that, Champ my friend.
Even with all of that, Goff had a pretty good effort against Atlanta. (Not all the best results, admittedly)
- His play where he slid in the pocket to buy time, then thread the needle to Woods.
- His third down conversions.
- Touchdown to Kupp.
- The late first half comeback
- The late second half comeback
- That great touchdown pass to Higbee (Oops)
- That great touchdown pass to Watkins (Oops)
Champ, you’ve still got this hard-on for Wentz, and it seems have a refusal to embrace Jared, like he is a red-headed step-child.
Saints team and they weren't too impressive against the Rams. They had a good game in the playoffs against Minnesota, but their QB is a future HoFer. Goff isn't in the same stratosphere......yet at least.
Yes. Yes he is. Love you Gnomie, but Goff is actually breathing the same air as all these guys.
We don’t play the Legend of Drew Brees, or the Legend of Admired Quarterbacks of Accomplishment. We play a guy, along with his teammates, on a given Sunday.
Remember a few years ago when our Fisher-led Rams buried the carcass of Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and the Broncos? I remember our guys climbing up to his stratosphere pretty easily that day. Who did we chuck out there at quarterback that day? Keenum? Foles? I forget.
I know you said Jared is “not there yet” Gnome, but there are changings of the guard happening every year in the NFL. I would maintain that our boy Goff rubs elbows with all them boys...here in the Milky Way.
I can't believe so many people here underestimating Donald's impact on the Rams success last year.
I’m with you here, bro. And besides, we will have Gurley at least 2 more years. At that point we can either franchise him, or reassess his value. A 27-28-year-old running back is at the tail-end of his prime in the NFL. Not to say he can’t get a few more good years. I want to see Gurley in horns for life. We’ll see.
