its pretty hard to make the argument that either is better given that goff hasnt actually taken a snap in the regular season. if goff comes in and lights it up then all of this "controversy" goes away and the narrative then becomes how smart the rams were for letting goff sit, watch and get acclimated to the nfl.
I guess we just see this one far differently, PHD.
The very fact that Goff hasn't yet taken an NFL snap is the whole point of this discussion, isn't it?
Hence the value of the Vermiel piece, and why I shared it.
Three things occur to me as possibilities here.
1) S&F picked the "wrong" QB at #1 overall. A career threatening mistake, btw.
2) OR the Ram coaching staff is relatively inept at QB development. At least relative to the Eagle staff.
3) Or both.
None of the above give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, frankly.
And no, it's NOT too early to be asking these questions, IMO.
If you don't list all the real possibilities then you can't make a real choice.
1. S/F picked the wrong qb (not based on what I have seen of Goff they haven't
2. The Rams are the only team in the league, in fact one of the few in NFL history, that actually have coaches who can't coach an NFL qb even at a basic level. Even though Keenum is playing fine in spite of his obvious physical limitations and even though it's obvious Mannion made tremendous strides from his rookie summer to now.
3. The Rams knowing full well that Goff had a lot to learn about being an NFL starter said from the beginning, the day they picked him, that they would be patient and not force it. They're fine with that because they can still play to win now while being patient with him.
I obviously choose 3.
And...3 is a real possibility. You may not choose it for whatever reason but it IS one of the possibilities you have to list IF you are going to have a realistic list.
