And it is complimentary about McVay. So if that's what someone is focusing on, that's there.
Reading what's said about Goff...doesn't leave a lot of hope for those who would LIKE to think he's a good prospect.
I'll support what I'm saying with quotes from the article:
"The problems with his game evident during his time at Cal—most notably his severe timing and accuracy issues—showed up in the NFL."
"He was worse in his rookie season than Kelly Stouffer and Ryan Leaf, which is singularly unimpressive."
"Goff's historic inefficiency backed up why he needed at least one full year on the bench before he would be ready for the rigors of the NFL. During his November 20 start against the Dolphins, he was incapable of doing anything but completing simple short routes."
"When he did begin throwing picks later in the season, one worrisome trend unfolded. Goff routinely threw late to receivers running predictable and disadvantageous routes, and cornerbacks jumped those routes as if they had them read—which they likely did.'
"When he took the job, McVay inherited Goff and all of his attendant issues. It's now up to him to make things better."
"Before sticking Goff in those situations against the Raiders in the Rams' second preseason game, McVay had to put a plan in place to overcome his young quarterback's limitations. "
"Goff completed 16 of 20 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown, resembling an NFL quarterback over a number of snaps for the first time."
(my comment, I guess Doug Farrar missed the New Orleans game last year.)
"While that's a low bar, the Rams needed to start somewhere, and McVay's game plan for Goff was outstanding."
"Gurley doesn't need McVay's help; he just needs people who can block. Goff desperately does..."
"Is it right to be skeptical of Goff's progress? Absolutely."
"Still, McVay is the only thing standing between Goff and another horrible bust of a season."
"In the meantime, McVay provides a ray of hope through the keyhole."Soooo...I'm going to agree and disagree with you.
The article does a thorough job of breaking down some of the plays from Saturday night.
Farrar seems to think that if anyone can possibly help the hapless Goff, it's McVay.
So I guess from that standpoint, it's a nice read.
But his view of Jared Goff is almost unrelentingly negative, and I feel it leaves out some positives that I think I've seen.
If you like what Keyshawn et al are saying about Goff, then you'll like what Doug Farrar has written.
That is all.
