I laughed.. and was 9 years old again.. watching that truly terrible, awful, not good movie.
Yeah that is true. But I think the Giants surprised them. There were rumors the Rams had a deal in principle at least outlined with NY, so maybe they would have moved down if Dart was there. But I suspect they were going to take him.
Great post.
Now, in full disclosure, I was at the end of my rope with goff when the Rams were too. Mainly, it was the fumble to sack ratio. Guy kept dropping the damn ball! His indecision to face life and run, resulting in a noncommittal effort that came up short, also started to piss me off.
Having said that…
Goff was the #1 pick because he had the arm and ability to make every big league throw imaginable. His arm is that good. He also played for a notoriously bad OL. This made him accustomed to pressure. Have you ever noticed how long he stands in the pocket? It’s not because he doesn’t know they’re there, he’s just waiting for someone to get open. He’s got more guts and toughness than people give him credit for.
Bottom line? He got the Rams to a SB. How many current QBs have been to a SB? Three aging old guys are rogers, flacco, and wilson. After that, what have you got? It’s not lamar or allen.
Stafford is such a badass that it’s easier to bag on goff. Person, people.
Personally, I have not watched college football in years. However, I love the Draft and think it's critical to the success of a franchise. So, come February, I focus on the April Draft, reading and watching everything I can to come to a consensus of opinions. Since I didn't watch any of the prospects, I rarely have personal opinions.
This Fall was different for me, I was watching a ton of the College Football coverage because I wanted to hear from the "EXPERTS" on the top QB-prospects. And, in my opinion ... These Fuckers don't know shit!
All the way back in early-September ... That's SIX WEEKS AGO! ... the "Experts" said the top college QBs were Arch Manning, Cade Klubnik, Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar and LaNorris Sellers, with Sam Leavitt, John Mateer and Carson Beck getting some play.
Almost none of those guys are currently at the top of the "Experts" list ... Sellers still gets attention because of his ridiculous athleticism.
Six WHOLE WEEKS later, and the primary names now are ... Fernando Mendoza, Dante Moore, Jayden Maiava and Ty Simpson. None of these guys were in the discussion Way-Back Then ... SIX WEEKS AGO!!!

Plan A, at next Franchise Quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams, needs to be Fernando Mendoza IMHO.
Mendoza is both SUPER smart, and DRIVEN to be great (unlike say, Trevor Lawrence).
The best scenario in my mind, is that the TITANS, NOT the Jets, get the 1st pick in the 26 Draft.
Hopefully they plan on sticking with Cam Ward despite the horrible record, although we've seen teams cut bait on a First year Quarterback when they got the first overall pick in the following draft. The 2019 Cardinals are an example of this, drafted Josh Rosen 1st Round 2018, got 1st pick, traded Rosen, drafted Kyler Murray 2019.
The other example is the same exact one we benefitted from exactly 10 years ago with the same exact team, the Titans. Titans Drafted Marcus Mariota in 1st Round in 15 and decided to NOT keep the 1st overall pick the following draft to take a new Quarterback (Goff or Wentz() and traded the pick to us for a bag.
If Tennessee is willing, offer them TWO 1st Rounders in '26 (picks late teen-ish to twenty-somethings?), and one of, or both if needed, a 2026 2nd Round pick and/or 2027 1st Rounder to acquire the First overall pick in the 2026 Draft and draft Fernando Mendoza, to sit behind Matthew Stafford in 2026 and/or 2027, or not, if Stafford wants out or retires after this season (all good).
I am convinced this is THE guy, and will be posting positive videos and articles on why i believe so.
Thank you all for sitting through this long-winded post.

Here's his Coach talking about Fernando's work ethic. Spends 24 hours a day thinking about his craft. I LOVE this. Unlike say, Kyler Murray spending 6 hours of his day playing X-Box.

Looking forward to seeing what this kid Beck does tonight.What a schedule.
First Old Joe Flacco plays against the Steelers again against another HOF QB Aaron Rogers.
To get a QB like that later in the draft like Baltimore & GB.My hope is Stetson Bennet can become an Aaron Rogers,Drew Brees type by developing before getting his chance. I think back to River’s in San Diego a long with Doug Flutie with Brees.Still say they shouldn’t have played Drew that last snap & Franchise him.
Talk about first round value & the Chargers got ZERO for him.Still think The ANGELS should have traded Ohtani to the Dodgers & Trout to the Yankees 3 seasons ago.The Dodgers play tonight.Ohtani will pitch next game which will be AMAZING MLB HISTORY!!! Well deserved &’to think a number 4 starter.
Any way Belacheat team plays tonight & hope he gets destroyed again with a big time loss.
This Beck kid is who I’m looking forward to see tonight in a statement game that MIAMI(U) is for real.

Mendoza has incredible arm talent, Aaron Rodgers like
Mateer has moxie
I hope we get one of them
Mateer has moxie
I hope we get one of them
Does anyone have a Wall Street Journal subscription? (I do not)
There's an article that came out within the last week about Mendoza about how he's super smart with numbers/funancial whiz kind of thing? I like the sound of this trait as well. If anyone can find, please post.......

Kyler Murray will be available next season…
I can't imagine Sellers will come out unless his season improves a lot. Needs more experience IMO and could be #1 pick in 2027
Cole Payton. Looks like an Eagles type QB prospect. Big, physical, fast/elusive, makes some timely throws.

You never know what to expect from players in college. Some come out when they shouldn't. Others decide to stay when they should come out (Drew Allar).
NDSU is becoming quite a QB hotbed, Wentz, Lance, Stick, Cam and the kid before Wentz who previously held all the passing records. Cant remember his name. I know its just highlights but dang this Payton kid has wheels.
