Goff has come down to earth the last couple of games. We can chalk it up to strong defenses, but he still has been missing open guys especially bad on deep throws.
This game in London will be a good barometer to see where he is in his development. Some analysts believe that McVay has made Goff look better than he is and now that defenses have got a better read on what McVay is doing, Goff is being exposed as a below average game manager QB. I’ve heard Goff called a poor mans Andy Dalton. He runs out of the pocket only to throw the ball away or run out of bounds. He’s not extending plays and making big throws outside the pocket anymore when he escapes contain.
The Cards D is below average against the pass, so this should be a good opportunity for Goff to play well. It was obvious that McVay was not happy with Goffs performance in Jax. Neither was I. If the Rams are gonna be a real contender this year Goff must raise his game back up and this game will tell us a lot about that happening.
