Slow Season Thought...

Does anyone else think that Stafford "looks, moves and throws" like a QB, where Goff didn't?

I know I'm getting pushback, (which that's fine), and I have NEVER posted an anti-Jared thread, but man, the more I watch Stafford in practice, the more "That's what a great QB looks like" thought keeps running through my head. And to get real knit-picky, it's nice to see tight spirals.

I guess we'll see if that translates.

Stafford has elite arm talent. He makes most QBs on the highest level look bad in comparison.

Absolutely! Stafford processes the field very quickly. Goff will perhaps someday develop that talent, but McVay got tired of waiting .. Stafford will get rid of the ball quicker because of that "vision." Goff often appeared indecisive at key moments. Stafford will not IMO.

I've been thinking a lot lately that Goff - although he could read defenses given time (at minimum 1.5 secs to 2.0 secs unless it was a designed quick throw) is not nearly as fast at it as the better QBs (Stafford, Brady, Manning, etc). However, given that time, he could shred defenses with 10 to 20 yard passes better than most QBs. Stafford though can read defenses a lot faster and has a gun for an arm (and is more mobile).

That being said, I think Stafford fits the McVay mold and we will benefit greatly from it. Goff did not fit the McVay mold. Goff needs a good running game and time in the pocket to be a very good QB. Stafford doesn't need that time and McVay can use that ability to really cross up defenses.

And on that note - I am all in on the Rams this year. We can see both an awesome offense and awesome defense with hopefully improved play by the special teams.
