i am one who thought we should give wolford a series or 2 when goff was playing bad. this would have lit a fire under goffs ass but playing wolford do to injury does not light the fire as much because goff just thinks it is do to injury not performance. if wolford does play well it still should give goff incentive to work harder to improve skills and we will not need to draft a qb
I really really wish we had a solid backup. I mean, Fitz, Hurts, Dalton, etc. However, I'm pretty sure Wolford can go out and do what Goffs done the past couple weeks.
For the record, I take back calling you out a month ago on the state of the O Line, McVay has done a decent job masking it but there just isn’t any way to sugarcoat these guys just can’t pass protect to save their lives, reminds me when when Martz allowed the line to deteriorate, virtually all the PD’s “experts” wanted Warner’s head not seeing the bigger issuesTeams will likely catch up to Hurts running, but running QBs often make good backups. It can catch a team off guard.
Wow, JG played a turd of a game again, but to keep throwing with a broken thumb is crazy. Hats off to his toughness...gotta root for TN tonight so pack has to play next week...
Am I crazy to think JG might still play on Sunday?
Not sure but if you are, youre not the only one. He seemed to still be able to grip the ball and throw it well after the injury, so who knows.
"broken" can mean a lot of things...

You know what they say about History...
Let’s hope we catch lightning in a bottle.
Here's the good news for us, we'll know if we need to win next week to make the playoffs by the time our game starts. If Chicago loses, we don't need to win to make the playoffs. In that scenario, I could see McVay sitting Goff (if it's a 50/50 call on whether he can play).
Considering we have Goff for at least two more years and I sure hope Goff can return to form and then improve on that...
I see no reason to rush Goff back to potentially worsen the injury such that he could miss time next season. Why? He's supposed to play playoff football with a broken thumb?
Now, don't get me wrong. If he were to start lighting it up with a broken thumb, it would harken back to the Youngblood days, but while Jared is tough, it's not his toughness that's an issue.
An injured throwing hand is nothing to take lightly. Get it healed up and ready for next season.
I personally wanted Goff benched during the Jets game when him and a coach were on the sideline, the coach was going over something on his iPad and Goff was completely ignoring him. Goff was literally staring into nowhere day dreaming.
Yup, that's what we should name them....."the back in boys."
Pitiful....
