Are you suggesting Nick Foles should be the comp we use going forward or just pointing out that Air Raid QBS can succeed?
And for the record Goff (imo) has 5 times the arm talent Couch ever had.
BTW, Wentz's high passes are due to his elongated release, which he had issues with at NDSU, and Goffs lower half is not synced up with his upper half right now. Too much going on in his head. Goff is fighting reverting to college ways while Wentz gave in to the darkside. Goff wants to get this right.
Thats from a discussion ZN and I were having regarding Air Raid QBs and their success in the pros. I talked to a former college QB and he said typically what happens is that you will go into a pro camp and they will start to fix things that are wrong with your throwing motion (elongated release like Wentz, dropping the ball down like Hogan, etc...) or they start to get you ready to play in an NFL offense from playing the majority in shotgun in college like Goff. The first thing that happens is you are dropping back instead of just catching and throwing the ball. It messes with how you see the field, it messes with your timing which is very under estimated.
Add in the fact that the NFL is 10 times faster then college and you end up feeling rushed. And if they are working on your mechanics you can end up paralyzed by information overload.
2 things then can happen: You fight through it and the new way becomes the default setting, or you revert back to old habits because once the bullets start flying you go to what is comfortable and has worked in the past.
IMO, Goff's body is at odds with his mind. When they get back in sync not only will his arm talent re-appear, he will be better for it. Of course like many spread QBs or Air Raid QBs it may never happen. Thats why the draft is a crap shoot.
