over Goff. I would take Donald as the first defensive player and Gurley as the first running back although there are a few other runningbacks that are pretty close.
Until Goff can start winning 4th quarter games when the Rams are trailing, I think he has a ways to go to be considered a franchise player.
The Rams are simply awful when trailing at the start of the 4th quarter. For as good as the offense is, it is a big weakness.
In fact, I have never seen a top ranked offense and we are talking about one of the best few in the league, be so bad when trailing and scoring quickly late in the game is needed. Basically, last year, if the Rams were trailing at the start of the 4th quarter, it was over.
And I will never forget that big game and the words, "The Rams just got it off." Trailing with a couple of minutes left in the game, the Rams took the entire playclock.
SIMPLE NO EXCUSES FOR THAT DEBACLE!
