I read some of these posts and I think to myself really? Are there that many Rams fans still doubting him? Has the sports social media given them doubt? The press clippings, the camp reports, the limited action and the way he played vs the Cowboys? For real some of the best, wisest Rams fans actually believe Goff isn't going to be ready to start week 1.
I see Goff starting week 1 and I have no doubts about that in my heart or mind.... Absolutely none... Week 1 at the 49ers, no matter how well Keenum and Mannion play the next 2 or 3 preseason games. Jared Thomas Goff will be under center at San Francisco on Monday September 12, 2016.
The only way Goff doesn't start is if he gets injured or his QB skill set gets worse over the next 3 weeks. Is an injury possible? sure it is..... but more importantly is a player going to get worse at his craft in the next 3 weeks when he's working his ass off and getting valuable knowledge, reps and experience every single day he's on the practice field and studying in the film room?
With 3 more dress rehearsals before week 1 of the regular season, JG will win the approval of Fisher, Boras and Weinke and honestly I think he already has but Fisher is being very coy & wise about how he's letting this all play out.
On a final note for those that think Goff wasn't worth trading up for....... I've seen every game of his since his freshman year to the last pass he threw in the Armed Forces Bowl and some of them 2 and 3 times.
I do not think I'm the lord of evaluating QB's and absolutely do not hold my opinion above anyone that thinks he was a reach or still thinks he's overrated. I have my own convictions with all the time invested on his career film review without giving 2 cents of a care about him until combine when I started watching film of Lynch thinking that Paxton was a strong possibility at the #15 pick.
I moved on to Goff and Wentz and became a believer before the trade was made and even more after the trade, when I went on a office lock-down Wentz and Goff film review marathon. I was a zombie for days and worthless at work lol.
I will admit that I would make that trade again 6 days a week and twice on Sunday. If the Colts GM had to have a little more for the trade to go down, I would've given another 3rd round pick in the 2017 or 2018 NFL draft. If Goff doesn't start week 1, I will ban myself of mentioning his name or any other QB conversations on ROD until the days he does.
