Jared Goff---over 1600 snaps. Carson Wentz--600. Goff has a thousand more.
Rams pick Goff.
Rams pick Goff.

I'm not only going to send Fisher a really ugly puppy with severe gastrointestinal problems...but at this point, I'm tempted to send him the whole damn litter...
And this is Florida... I could find that just by asking at the Supermarket...

I'm a Rams fan until I die. I wanted Wentz but they went with Goff...so I suck it up and say...
GET IT DONE!!!
We know Goff isn't gonna start for most of the season if not until next year. I think the Rams are ok with Keenum...and he can also get better, while we wait for "THE GOFF MOMENT".

I am. Goff came from a spread system in college. The difference is the system he was in did require him to read defense. However at the level he's entering now, he's simply not ready to face the intricacies of NFL defenses as well as the speed of NFL defenses.
To throw him in the fire now *could* ruin him...and when you have seasoned QBs on your team, why risk that?
Take a look at the press conference with Goff on the Rams website...even he understands as much. He's got time...and it's better to build confidence than ruin it. You take your time with him and build on the things you already know about him. He was probably the most accurate of all the QBs drafted, but you still have to take your time with him.
Keenum will start...bank on it!
Goff knows how to read defenses, there are plenty of references in this forum to explain what he did pre and post snaps, also he was given full control of the offense last year to change anything including the play based on what he read in pre snap. What he needs to do now and has already been doing is learn a different offensive terminology and new playbook.

Nope, Goff is the best QB prospect since Peyton.
He started as a true Frosh at Cal being the first in the school's history, torched Ohio St for 371 and 3 TDs in his 3rd college game with the worst Cal team in Cal's history.
Goff will be ready in the fall and will start day 1

Read my post again. I never said Goff could not read defenses, in fact I pointed to the fact that the spread system he played in required he read defenses
I stand on what I said...it's best to bring him on slowly. College "pre-snap" and NFL "pre-snap" are totally different animals. Furthermore...don't you find it interesting that two of the greats right now (Brady and Rodgers), didn't get thrown right into the fire?
Put this down..."Fisher will start with Keenum under center."...and Surely you jest if you believe Goff is the best prospect since Peyton...recall a guy named Andrew Luck...Goff isn't even close to where Luck was as a rookie. Let's not go overboard!

No. There are more than enough great QBs on both sides of that coin to conclude that throwing a QB into the fire isn't a worse option than sitting a QB. It all comes down to the individual QB's needs. Goff is a guy who can be thrown into the fire. He can handle it. And the Rams need him. That's why they gave up what they did. They recognize his talent and recognize the talent deficiencies of Keenum.
I'm not bringing Goff along slowly unless he needs to be brought along slowly. And none of us are in a position to judge whether or not he needs to be brought along slowly at this juncture. If Goff is ready, I play him.

That's about all it boils down to, really. Fisher isn't going to start him unless or until he knows what to do in every situation within the structure of the offense. But even then, he'll likely want to start him sooner rather than later. It's like coming down the stairs (for those of us who grew up with stairs) on Christmas morning and not being able to open your damn presents until your damn sister gets out of the damn bathroom that she's been in for damn near 30 damn minutes.
But I digress.
They'll probably start him day one as long as he has a proper grasp of the playbook.
Bradford started his first game and he ROYALLY sucked. But that's how you improve for game 2.
