McVay has been smart to not put too heavy of a burden on his young QB's shoulders but without Goff, the present and future of our Rams team would not so bright.
Although the bust talk has disappeared, Goff is still not garnering much respect from many outside Rams nation (especially fans & media) considering what he has accomplished at this stage of his young career. Almost every week I have read through what the other teams fans are saying and you could always count on a good amount of them minimizing Goff and commenting that Goff cannot beat them if Gurley is neutralized or limited. Now we are reading the same thing from many flatulence(falcon) fans. Gurley gives the Rams offense a turbo boost that really makes this offense special but without good QB play and good o-line play there would be no consistent success for Gurley, the offense, and the team.
At 23, Goff is only going to get better. He is just beginning his ascent into becoming an elite QB.
We have yet to see his best so watch out NFL!!
