So it's an advantage that Goff had a crappy team and a disadvantage that Wentz had a good team. Got it
Sounds like it's Goff..

No, you don't "got it."
One, I never said anything about it being a disadvantage for Wentz that he was on a good team. The only thing I mentioned about Wentz was in my first post on this thread, where I said I actually favored him - slightly - over Goff.
Two, I said relative to Sam Bradford (i.e. the name of a former Ram QB who YOU brought into the discussion), Goff had much more of a chance to develop his pocket presence, thanks to a weak OL in front of him, and he did that very well. In other words, Goff is much better prepared coming in to handle an NFL pass rush than was Bradford.
Edited to add that I think Wentz is also better prepared in that than Bradford, given his mobility/escapability.

I thought Chris Simms was pretty spot on, actually.
He saw the throwing hitch I described months ago, which affects his spiral. I posted graphs and vids about the draw in Goff's long ball and it's the hitch that causes it. It's a defect in his throwing motion. Maybe they can get him to spend time with Tom House like Brady does. Frankly, after his first season, I can't think of a better use of his time...
But that throwing motion is going to need to be really worked on for him to have long term success in the NFL.

No one ever said it was an advantage or disadvantage. However, it is a variable that needs to be considered when watching film and judging accuracy. To ignore it is to be wilfully ignorant.

I'm not criticizing, I'm just stating what is. Because I want the Rams to succeed, that means I want Goff to succeed because the Rams are taking Goff.
This feel like Chris Long all over again... /sigh...
I got shouted at because guys were shouting sure that he was gonna be this sack master. I pointed out time and again that he had significant footwork issues and he didn't use his hands very well and that while he had fantastic hustle, I could never see him being more than a 10 sack a year guy, but #2 overall seemed like a premium slot for that and there was no guarantee he'd even get to the 10 sacks a year.
Funny...in an interview at the end of the year, Chris Long admitted that he wasn't happy with his year and he had a lot of things to work on and one of the things he mentioned was his footwork. *crickets* from the shouting crowd. I didn't care. He was a Ram and I wanted him to get better. And when he went to MMAthletics to improve his hands, I was overjoyed. And it really did help him. He did everything in his power to keep improving himself as a player and maximize his physical gifts and he became that 10 sack a year guy.
But does that mean we automatically assume everyone does that? Everyone reaches their potential now? We just minimize flaws, focus on highlights and think happy thoughts and project playoffs?
Pretty sure once the regular season starts, it doesn't work like that...

Agree 100%. which (even as a lifelong UCLA fan), I didn't, (and don't) like Hundley.
But I'm old and wear glasses.:boxing:

Never heard of a team hitting on all their picks but I get your point.Or like trading down and passing on Alshon Jeffery for Isaiah Pead and Rok Watkins?
Don't do that. That's a bad games for Rams fans to get into.

Only because he(Goff) proved playing behind that crappy team he could lead and OVERCOME adversity of playing with the worst while honing your skills in doing so in every way and finally using those skills to WILL those losers into a winning team while putting up some amazing stats that proved they just jumped on his back and rode him to everything they got. Carson got hurt and the team won MORE game without him than WITH him. 56/1 is one stat you just have to shake your head at. Admit that is amazing no matter who you are playing with. Especially if they are crappy.

Warner threw ducks because of a weak pinky on his throwing hand. I don't remember why, if because of injury, length of pinky (hand size is one thing, but if the pinky is really tiny, it can really make it hard to keep the ball stable).
Goff's throws have wobble because he has a hitch in his throwing motion. He c0cks his wrist. Totally different.
Simms wasn't wrong and it's right there on the film if anyone cares to look. Heck, I pointed out his hitch MONTHS ago...

I don't think Warner ever consistently threw a spiral. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
