Jason La Canfora sucks

[Allen2McVay]

He won being a Cowboy and media competing for the clicks.

Most Cowboys fans think they won the SB last year.

A comparison of stats over the past three seasons is not that close. Goff’s #s are better.

Most Cowboys fans think they won the SB last year.

No they don't, however, they think they are going to win the Super Bowl every year.

We do this to ourselves over and over. Why do we post opinion pieces from sports writers who are just trying to fill column space in their website or blog and debate the contents for days? Especially these ranked lists. We know the Rams need to play better on both sides of the ball next season. We know that we have two new coordinators and a new special teams coach. We lost free agents, gained free agents and drafted some college kids. We have more unknowns than most teams, but that doesn’t matter until the real games are played, whenever that is. Until then, articles like this one are from people expressing their opinion like they hold some kind of crystal ball, which they don’t. I care what the Rams coaches, front office and players have to say and everyone else, I don’t care what sportswriters say unless they are reporting an injury or transaction. Don't get yourself worked up over stuff like this.

Yup, none of this affects what happens on Sunday. And the occasional Thursday and Monday.

Agree completely but Goff had great protection that night.

Every QB is better with strong protection but the range of performance between good and poor protection varies for QBs.

Mobile QBs are usually more effective when dealing with pressure; and that’s not Goff.

Some QBs that lack mobility, are tremendous at getting the ball out of their hands. Brady is great at that, and Brees is very good. The offensive scheme is also a factor. Does it offer quick/short receiver options to the QBs.

QBs that are a little careless with the ball get burned more often under pressure. In my opinion that is Goff’s weakness.

The positive (and this is just my opinion) is that when he has quality protection, Jared Goff throws the ball as well as any QB in the game. That Vikings’ game is a great example.

The negative right now (again, just my opinion) is that when under pressure, Goff falls back to no better than average.

The range of performance between good and poor protection is huge for Goff.

Goff was put in a bad situation last year where McVay was determined to use his 11 personnel for the first 11 games of the year.

All year - people were saying - USE THE TE

McVay was being stubborn last year for some reason and it might have been - it got me to the superbowl last year - it can get me to the superbowl this year too.

Then a light shined on McVay in Game 12 and all of a sudden he went to the 12 personnel and started using the TE more on short to midrange past routes and viola - all of a sudden Goff is doing good again.

I just think Goff was put in handcuffs last year the first 11 games.

The only so so game that Goff had the last 5 games was the Dallas game and McVay went back to exclusively using the 11 personnel in the first half again for some reason. The second half - they started going back to the TE on pass routes but by then it was too late. The damage had been done. Plus the defense played horrible that game.

Goff & Rivers are both a bit better than that tier 4 group. But who cares what La Canfora thinks. This isn't analysis where he looks at the situation around the QB and actually grinds film on all of them to make sure the final assessment is as accurate as possible. That would take too long. It's clickbait.

And ironically both Goff & Rivers should re-establish themselves in 2020. Rivers has a proven line and run game along with a good offensive staff now in Indy. Goff should have an improved run game at least and hopefully better protection.

 

[MauiRam]

If we can concoct a legitimate running game, Goff will shine - big time! I could care less where Canfora rates quarterbacks. Hopefully Kevin O. will get into McVay's ear enough that the Rams really make a commitment to the running game this year. Grabbing Akers was a good start ..

Fair post. I'll just throw in there that our receivers really struggled last season to get open too. Cooks' play taking a nosedive really affected Goff's options, and he doesn't get much cred for what he did well, namely managing to keep our scoring in that top third range. Just so many pass plays last season where guys were blanketed and the run game certainly contributed but the wideouts and even the gameplanning were suspect.

I'm not sure there's so many QBs who would have gotten us where Goff did. IMO the nature of the OL, the run game, and the wideouts as a whole made it extremely tough on Jared. And as long as the run game and protections improve this season IMO we are going to see him make a big jump back into that top group.

This stuff is just impossible to prove either way, it's all perceptions. But honestly I don't know any QB who had more elements working against him last season than Goff. And he gutted through it, never complained, and kept learning. So as to where he is on that chart one can argue fairly all over the place. But I still believe in him. And it's one of the reasons I was so hell bent on them addressing the OL, because I didn't want to see the kid set up for failure yet again. So got my fingers crossed here that's for sure.

Talking head internet click baiters can kiss my ass.

Goff threw for 4500 yards last year under adverse circumstances-- o-line decimated by injuries, Gurley and Cooks injured or less effective, not a good enough running game, not good enough adjustments or creativity in the schemes. Before that he won the NFC championship in a stunning rally on the road in New Orleans. Before that the Rams had the top or very nearly the top offense in the league for two years.

Goff is a superb qb when he has a chance to throw with anticipation to excellent route runners. He has a skill set good enough to win championships in a well executed offense, such as McVay's when it is in precision form. Not so much when the wheels come off the bus around him, or the scheme isn't good enough-- but very few qbs can really transform dysfunctional offenses.

(Why is it that when the offense is great, it's because of the "system," but when it's not as great--just 7th in the league in yards-- it's Goff's fault? If Jordan Love ever has a year that good he'll be hailed as a brilliant pick with a great future when the offense around him can get it together.)

But I'm happy just to watch Goff moving forward. There are better tools around him, especially Higbee, Akers and Jefferson, the offensive scheme is going to be revamped, and, yes, the line will be better. McVay and O'Connell will be back on top of the offense, with a vengeance. So will Goff. I think he is going to have a great year in 2020.

Is rating NFL players?

Not to much to get upset about.

Guy is probably better at ranking Sith Lords than D&D helmets of disintegration.

While that guy is a toolbag, there's nothing wrong with liking football, D&D, and Sith Lords.

There is a discrepancy when your knowledge in order goes 1. Sith Lords 2. D&D 3. Football

and your an f'n football sports journalist!

 

[payote75]

This geek just is about click bait. That list makes no sense to even a casual football fan.

1. The best ability is availability so what in the hell has Wentz done so much better than

2. What have Watson Jackson Wentz(again) Stafford and Prescott done so much better than Goff? Of course there talent is amazing even Stafford but Goff got his to to a Superbowl it wasnt Gurley it was Goff. Did Lamar Jackson even win a playoff game yet (genuine question) how has Watson done in the playoffs? None of these guys has really accomplished anything. They are all dynamic and very good but seems a bit unfair.

3. Prescott??? At best a game manager tons of weapons best offensive line let's see Goff in that offense. And can't or hasn't won squat.

4. Stafford a very good quarterback older now but still very good but has done nothing of significance one can make an argument for him being skilled but a compiler.

5. My favourite Jimmy effin G. Seriously? Ok he helped steer his team to the Superbowl but didn't have to do it in a downright horrific environment (like Goff) he got to stay home and let's face it his defense and run game carried him but the clincher was... up and coming???????? He is like wt 3-4 years older than Goff???wtf??? But he is rising and Goff is on the u can win list???

For any 80's mtv music video buffs I would love to take his glasses and zz top them right into the cake myself!!!

Dumbass fool article even dweebs like him have an agenda anybody can sit the popular kids at the cool table Jason u dweeb!!!

 

[TexasRam]

Goff rated by the players in back to back years as #32 and #38 top player in the NFL.

But now he’s a JAG by a writer, who was probably a band geek that has a net throwing distance of 18.2 yards.

yea ok.

 

[oldnotdead]

LMFAO You are only now figuring out how bad this guy is? He's always been so bias it isn't funny. Every one of his so called evaluations is reeking of his personal bias. Murray? He's done nothing. He's limited in his college-level schemes. He's proved he can't carry a team by himself. River's has done just that and has a HOF career but he rates Murray above him?

How do you rate Wentz above Goff? Wentz can't even stay healthy. Even Philly is already looking beyond Wentz, they didn't draft Hurts to sit on the bench. They have an out on his contract from next year on. If Carson gets hurt again this year and Hurts plays well, they will look to trade or release Wentz after this year. So he rates Wentz as a bonafide franchise QB? LMFAO He rates him that high because rated Wentz as the best QB in his draft class. Carson is good, but if he can't stay healthy it doesn't mean much if he can't finish a season. Carson IMO is another Stafford type QB, who is good when healthy and with a team around him. But in 4 years, Carson has been injured in the last 3 years. The Eagles drafting Hurts says a lot about the Eagles FO's concern.

No, we all know.

He's known as The Clown.

Every one of his inside scoops have been wrong.

[Elmgrovegnome]

Pay no mind to a single word that Jason the Clown says. I've always thought that he is the absolute worst NFL media personality in the business. He was horribly atrocious with NFL network, and I don't understand how he could possibly get a major big after he was canned by them.

Someone in the NFL media circle must have owed this guys dad, big time.

Mike Lombardi is a close second.
