It all comes down to Goff. I've seen some good from him, some real talent that most don't possess... physically. Game-wise? Not so much. Can't say I'm confident, only hopeful AND... absolutely SURE it's too early to 'make the call'.
Not easing my anxiety in the least is that with a new HC, new system, LOTS of new players, and key players - WR's, TE's, RB's, those he'll work with most closely - I don't think it's going to be all that easy THIS coming year to make a call on Goff one way or the other.
It's possible... if one of two extremes takes place... he lights it up OR he totally collapses... but I'm expecting neither of those things to occur.
With so many years of losing behind us I'm like many in that I don't want to wait another year, or two.... but deep down inside I think it's going to take that.
I don't think the Ram's have any choice but to prepare for the possibility that Goff just ain't gonna be the guy, (not saying he won't). They can't afford two more years of failure and then start again. The minute failure, at the QB position, is determined they have to, or should be able to, move on.
Most here have little to no faith in Mannion. I'm not in that group... although I certainly don't think Mannion has shown he can be the answer they need... I consider him adequate with an upside.
Well, what I'm getting at is: I think the QB position is the biggest concern for the Ram's right now... and preparing for a major move at the QB, to me it seems, has to be at the forefront of planning ahead... contract money invested in supporting players key. Seems to me it could be a factor in the AD situation. - JamesJM
