The Goff watch thread

[Merlin]

hahahah where the holy fuck did I act like a victim?

And damnit I swore off these shit on former player threads and people just won't let it die and I get dragged back into peoples shit.

You always think you're above shit dude. Just calling you on your BS. Cheers.

I don't know why but he always had terrible first halves against some teams (49ers primarily) but then would come back and play much better in the second half. For some reason Goff was primarily a second half QB. Was he still getting over the night before with his GF in the first half?

No idea but him being hungover would explain a lot.

Cmon man - I will try to be unbiased as possible in the future about Goff since he is on the lions and point out both positives and negatives.

These all negative threads show just how biased you are against Goff.

Are you addressing me specifically here? I posted an article from Lions camp. My opinions are nowhere to be found in that post. I was curious how he was doing in camp and there it is.

I'm probably the most objective mofo on this board btw, even where Goff is concerned.

You're definitely the most objective Mojo.

The personal attacks should cease.

Seriously. We all have "our guys" but when "my guy" becomes "just a guy" i call it like it is. No ego bullshit making excuses for this & that and the other etc to make myself look smarter.

Except for David Fales. He's a rockstar QB no one knows(cares) about except me.

Goff went from a bust to a stud to an average guy to a liability in 5 years time here.

You are definitely one of the most objective people on this board for every player but Goff

I have seen quite a few overly negative comments from you regarding Goff.

But then again - I may only be remembering the negative ones.

Sorry

And the majority of posts from the Lions camp - people are posting are the negative comments and none of the positive comments.

I think one person besides myself posted a positive post from the lions camp.

Of course, I haven't really been following the lions camp so maybe the majority of the posts are negative.

If that is the case, then I apologize.

Just to add, one post that a person posted included only the negative comments in the post and deliberately did not include the positive comment in the same article.

If I post something about Goff from an article, I will try to be unbiased and to include all comments whether they are negative or positive.

I'm not above anything other than the chair I'm sitting on. I made a comment that McVay has made mistakes and has things he has to work on. Anytime I or others make similar comments you attack them. I have countless times cited issues with Jared and that he has to correct them or he won't be long in this league. You ignore those and continue to pile on me anytime I say something less than glowing about McVay. You're the one with the issue here not me. You just posted your doctorate thesis to me that had absolutely no bearing on what I said and was totally unnecessary, look to yourself about thinking you're above the shit and you need to deal with your BS.

You're tempting me to go grab them. A lot of work though. I think what you'd see from '16 thru the '20 season is a very patient fan culminating in "i'm done" late last season.

Not responding specifically to this last post, but I have to say that I don't like much about this thread. And I don't much like what the debate about our former qb has done to this forum.

I have a couple of my points of my own to make.

To me, focusing solely on a qb rarely if ever captures the full story of an offense. Everyone seems to agree that was the case with respect to Stafford in Detroit. I happen to think it was also the case the last two years for the Rams, when the offense lacked the playmakers, speed, and blocking in the middle of the line which they had when the offense was leading the league. But to say that doesn't mean the qb played well, just that there's more to it than that.

I am also more than disappointed with the gleeful trashing of our former qb. Goff had a couple of great years, took the Rams to the Super Bowl. He won a playoff game for us last year and could have won another if Donald was healthy and Kupp was on the field. All of this is more than Stafford has ever accomplished (but I know, it wasn't his fault.)

I also understand why McVay wanted Stafford. Stafford is a talented veteran qb and a smart, genuine human being. It remains to be seen if he walks on water as some posters expect but I hope he lights it up for the Rams. I'm also happy to see that some weaknesses in the O the last couple of years have been addressed by McVay.

But it isn't necessary to just keep dumping on Goff. It's poor sportsmanship. It's disrepectful of the Rams' accomplishments the last few years. And it's over.

Move on.

Okay how about lately lol

I'm done with the guy, lol. I was relieved when he was traded. A little concerned about the picks(okay my initial reaction was WTF) but once i calmed down and realized we traded his contract i saw it for what it was.

I really thought he'd turn it around in 2020 after being surrounded with problems in '19. He didn't. He got worse. IMO his career is in trouble as a future bonafide starting franchise QB because he really had it good here minus the Fisherball rookie year and 2019. He didn't make enough big plays and he became a turnover machine. I feel like he had to get moved. It was time.

Sucks because he's a good dude with some natural talent...and tough. He was our guy, but honestly it doesn't bother me when members "shit on" former Rams. To be perfectly honest it bothers me more(than the Goff hate) when fans dismiss Fisher as a shitty chapter to the franchise. He had to go too but i feel like things changed for the better in 2012 and he brought the team out of the clown show days and into competitive decency. No small task. Just sayin.

 

[oldnotdead]

We should be focusing on the here and now. What's done is done. We should be elated to see this team clicking, improving and just knowing our beloved team is definitely in the Lombardi hunt is great!! I know what hopelessness is as a fan of a not-so-good team. Where you are just hoping for a wildcard spot.

Now our team is home in LA and this roster looks great from top to bottom. I have to LMAO at the media that is freaking out because the backup QB had an appendectomy and will miss a few weeks. Big whoop. The Rams have Iron Man at QB with his laser gun arm and hand.

When you look at some of these young guys like Jefferson, Harris, Tutu, and Rochell then add in both Browns, and even Benny Skow you can see our team is headed in the right direction. Future stars in the making. Jefferson with his Keenan Allen moves. Harris with his Kelce athleticism and a TE star in the making. Tutu with the potential to be another D Jack, and even has the man himself mentoring him. Rochell has the potential to be another Ramsey, and who also has the man himself as a mentor. Benny Sko IMO is going to surprise a lot of people and become a key role player.

Even guys like Blanton who came into camp last year looking like camp fodder, but is now turning heads as a potential red zone target.

What I'm seeing in our team is how Snead has addressed the key weaknesses of this roster. With the offensive talent they now have starting with Stafford, I simply don't see them struggling in the red zone as has become the norm the last couple of years. The FO has drafted to address the run defense weakness. They have hired Carberry to develop the OL and IMO that hire will be a key to their future success. Carberry is the kind of OL coach that can turn the Ram's weakness into a true weapon. The OL will allow McVay to unleash an offense that will once again remind people of their 2018 offensive juggernaut. I think scoring 30+ per game will become normal again.

There is so much about the Rams to be excited about. There is no need to peel back scabs of the past. We need to focus on the present and the future.

I can agree 100% Jeff Fisher got us pointed in the right direction, much respect for him.

LOL, hey Mr IQ, it's "bored".

Yes the proper spelling is BORED not BOARD...

My IQ just dropped 20 points

 

[rdlkgliders]

Does anyone know where the ROD forum moved to?

 

[kurtfaulk]

Yeah! Flex against them backups!

[Florida_Ram]

Is Jared Goff still on the Rams roster?

Please inform me when he is so I can give my 2 cents on what I think he will do in the 2021 season.

This is what The Athletic reporter at the scrimmage had to say:
For Jared Goff, Saturday was a good day. Nothing overly flashy or jaw-dropping, but Goff was very consistent and — most important — he played without hesitation.

Goff’s command of the huddle, the offense and everything the Lions wanted to get accomplished with the first unit in a true game-like situation was exactly what it needed to be. Practice days feature so many simulated situations; scrimmages are different. On Saturday, so was Goff. We charted him 12 of 14 for 121 yards and three touchdowns during first-team work — mostly against the second-team defense and without three of his top pass catchers.

Goff was able to rip a nice chunk play over the middle to Darren Fells early. Goff attacked the middle of the field more in Saturday’s workout than we’ve usually seen from him in camp practices — an encouraging sign. The deep stuff still feels like a work in progress, but Goff wasn’t struggling to get rid of the ball or waiting too long to come off his first read. His pocket was clean, his feet were under him and everything looked smooth.

Fells noted after Saturday’s workout how encouraging it has been to see Goff take a hands-on role with the offense. Goff’s working alongside offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn to make mid-rep corrections and has not been afraid to call out problems when he’s seen them. This is his offense, the Lions have made that clear. And, so far, the team’s fully on board with it. He’s not Matthew Stafford. The days of shrugging off mistakes and hoping Stafford’s howitzer will be enough to bail everyone out are over. Goff will have to be more efficient. Make fewer errors. Be an under-control quarterback — 100 percent of the time. On Saturday, that’s what we saw.
--------------------------------------------
Not bad. The Lions were also missing Tyrell Williams, Breshad Perriman, and Quintez Cephus. Hopefully, Campbell, Lynn, and Brunell are able to get Goff's confidence and aggressiveness back. I'm rooting for him in Detroit. God knows the Lions, like us five years ago, deserve some winning football. And it seems like a lot of their fans are rooting for Stafford here.

Didnt flex much against the Cowboys starters today either. Not his fault, but the interior OL still struggles on 7 step drops.
