It's fair to call Goff elite now

[Ram65]

There was a whole thread on it.

https://ramsondemand.com/threads/scandrick.56432/

The thread was talking more about Scandrick dropping the pass and Reynolds play to knock it out more than the bad decision by Goff. The poor decision was discounted in many ways.

As I said I hope Goff learned from that one. That's a pass he should not have thrown.

I think he has been throwing and completing that pass with that kind of coverage all year. The problem was he under threw it. His accuracy had been off all game and Sandrick made a great play on the ball. We talk about how Goff has been fitting the ball in to tight spots and it is a point we like to make on how good he is. We can't have it both ways. You can't tout how great he is at fitting the ball into tight spots and then fault him when he does it and it almost cost a game.

Meh. Tomato potato.

As @majrleaged said, he throws in tight windows all day. He'd recently had his bell rung by two guys at the same time (that sounds bad). Maybe it was a bad decision he can learn from, maybe he was still dealing with the after effects of two simultaneous helmet to helmet hits. Not trying to down play the "bad decision" but it just seems to me more like a bad throw under bad circumstances than a bad decision.

Literally every QB in NFL history made bad throws every once in a while. Goff is a franchise QB

Here is a link go to 3:32 for final drive. Sometimes it takes time to load.

Thanks for the responses. I looked at the play a number of times. Jared did throw it a little too much inside. Whitten and Booger McFarland says it's man coverage two high safeties. I thought there was a defender closer behind Reynolds but, there isn't. Against the Saints he threw wide out of bounds by a lot to Woods on the 35 all drive. Could he have been thinking about that or he could have just been off on the throw. Who knows. The game situation was such that an INT closes out the Rams. Jared was in his throwing motion when you can see Gurley cutting to the opposite side as he appeared wide open with space. I would like to know what the expert think about the decision.

Could be a little of both a bad throw and a bad decision. Either way Jared shook it off and got the game winning TD to Everett.

but he put just enough on it so scandrick could only get to the ball with his fingertips. which caused the ball to pop out and allow reynolds to knock it away when scandrick tried to grasp the ball again.

hate when commentators say he should have caught that. he was at full stretch and he could only get to the ball with his fingers. that would have been a tough catch for a wr.

Glad you bought the dropped INT up. It certainly hasn't been talked about here as far as Goff not seeing the coverage. This one and the bad sideline pass against the Saints on first down with score tied at 35 keep sticking in my mind. Hope he learns from this one.

I would bet that Goff did see the coverage. He tried to squeeze it in and didn't quite place it perfectly. He squeezed the next one in against the same coverage a couple passes later.

And it was fantastic to see him come up clutch and deliver as good a pass as a QB could throw.

Let the video roll. Goff makes some great throws on the rest of the winning drive.

Love the kid. Love his poise. Loved the strike to Everett for the GW. ....
HATED the dropped INT on the last drive though. That was curtains if the DB makes the seemingly easy catch. I know that every QB has those from time to time,just hated to see it at THAT time.

Just shows that as good as he is, there is plenty of room for growth. That should scare the boogers out of the rest of the league.

But notice he came right back and made the same throw on the next play, with a DB in pretty good coverage. Didn't blink, hesitate, curl up in fear or show a shred of doubt. 3rd and nine play, backed up in his own end, critical play in the game, and he fired a laser to Cook on the exact same play that was almost picked off the previous play.

He's unconscious, unflappable and has ice water in his veins.

If that's based on how they are playing "right now" then that's a bunk top 5....

It can’t be based on right now. The only correct order is Brees, Mahomes and Goff being a combination of 1, 2 and 3. Brady and Rodgers are just names at this point.

Sarcasm? Because tell me how Brady and Rodgers are better then Goff this year.

They aren't... that was the point of my original post which you quoted...

Don't know if this was purposeful on the part of the author but it shows the mindset of many in the media when it comes to Jared Goff.

https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/11/27/n...simulator-texans-titans-colts-browns-steelers

Data crunchers FiveThirtyEight currently has seven teams (L.A. Rams, Saints, Chiefs, Patriots, Bears, Texans, Steelers) with more than a 93% chance of reaching the postseason. It’s safe to assume we’ll see Patrick Mahomes, Drew Brees, Sean McVay and Tom Brady play past New Year’s.

So Sean McVay will be on the field playing QB during the playoffs?

First time since he was mvp winning the Georgia state championship!!

Jared Goff has been a sight to behold this season. You can talk scheme all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Goff has the most big-time throws of any quarterback this season (29). Those are throws that require special ball placement and timing down the field and there’s no scheme that can ‘fake’ them.

For the PFF fans: Goff is PFF's 3d highest graded QB, with the "High Quality" label, not the "Elite" label, on their rainbow grade chart:

let's all be thankful the rams have goff and not some fuckwit like ben rapeburger. here he is pumping up the rookie wr james washington.

https://triblive.com/sports/steeler...eed: tribunereviewsteelers (Steelers Stories)

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger offered some strong words Tuesday for wide receiver James Washington, whose drop of a deep pass Sunday was the latest miscalculation in an unproductive rookie season.

Washington left his feet and tried to make a diving catch in the third quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.

On his weekly 93.7-FM radio segment, Roethlisberger criticized Washington for not only dropping the ball, but for his leaving his feet when he could have continued running.

“He has to make it,” Roethlisberger said. “I just think he didn’t trust his hands. For some reason, he jump/dove. I’m not really sure what he was doing. We look at it (on film), and coach got on him pretty good yesterday.

“We took a long, hard look at it. James needs to run through that, and it’s a touchdown.”

“Yes, he’s a rookie, but you’re not going to be out there if you‘re not going to make those plays for us,” Roethlisberger said.

“He needs to have confidence in himself,” Roethlisberger said. “When you have trust and confidence in yourself, you use your hands and you catch the ball. I felt like when he jumped and dove, whatever you want to call it, it showed a lack of confidence in himself and his hands.”

What a jackass. Way to throw the rook under the bus.

I always knew he was a meathead, but that really takes the cake.

Apparently, they no longer keep anything in house in Pitt including what happens in team meetings.

Seriously, what a jackass...
