I really thought this was a stupid article.
As far as I can tell, the core comparison between the LA and PHI approaches to their rookies was ...
That PHI called Wentz 3rd string early and Fisher hinted that he hoped Goff would start soon.
So bleeding what? What difference do summer, coach-speak presser comments make? Who takes them seriously?
Look. To me, comparisons like this are pointless. Each player matures differently and with different needs. Each team has a different situation. Coaching staffs have different philosophies and approaches. There is no earthly reason why the development curve for 2 great young talents will be identical.
As I have said before, the TEST of Goff as a pick and the Rams' development of Goff is not the first months of season 1. It just isn't.
Then, we hear of a stat about Goff being the first #1 since a guy who was a bust ...
So what? Lots of #1 picks have started in the interval and a fair number of them weren't ready and didn't do well. Who says that's the only way to go?
You guys know I am no fan of Fisher. But this sort of comparison criticism is absurd.
