There was a good article I read about the Eagles process of deciding to take a franchise QB in 2016. The article detailed the decision process and actions to get in position to pick a franchise Qb and how the Eagles decided on Wentz. Part of that 'deciding on' revealed their thoughts on Goff. From tthe article the two biggest differences, for the Eagles, between Goff and Wentz were 1) Familiarity with playing in cold weather and 2) What the article called 'football IQ'.
This second item intrigues me. I am pretty certain Goff learned next to nothing his rookie year under Fisher and one of the worst offensive coordinators ever in Rob Boras. So, his learniing didn't start until 2018. The Eagles liked how Wentz was familiar with the RPO concepts they wanted to install. This leads me to wonder if Wentz is currently closer to his ceiling than Goff is currently.
Watching Goff play I just shake my head and close my eyes in frustration at times. Almost always at missed opportunities. Goff is not a turnover machine like a young Favre, or a Winston. If Goff starts taking advantage of the better opportunities, which he could as a result of increasing his football knowledge, I can definitely see him as a top five QB.
I would love to know whom McVay would have selected if he was the Rams coach in 16.
