My belief is that Fisher was told to trade up and draft a QB, but that it was his (and Sneads) call which one to pick.
This is where the inept Fisher who knows nothing about offense picks the guy who he has heard is supposedly more "NFL ready" because he played against better competition than the "small school QB".
Well fast forward 6 months and 1 guy is more ready. In retrospect, he played in a pro-style system, took snaps from center, audibled plays, is older, and had 1 more year of college experience. Not to mention is 30 pounds bigger, and is more mobile.
So how did we end up picking Marc Bulger 2.0. Or Sam Bradford 3.0???
The kid is tall and skinny (Dejavu?) Ran a spread offense and still is working on taking a snap from center.
I'm sorry but it seamed clear to me at some point that a Fisher team would do better with a "Ben Rothlisberger" than another 6'4" skinny guy who will stand in the pocket and get crushed when sacked. (He will not add 30 pounds in the next couple years).
The Rams needed a win now QB, not a #1 pick project.
They really thought playing against better competition would make Goff the right fit for this terrible offense? At age 21?
Fisher has only been successful when he had Steve Mcnair. Now which QB is closer to Steve McNair?? Not Goff.
What are we doing? Why? Huh?
Goff may be a good QB one day, but we needed a QB yesterday and I'm fairly certain we screwed the pooch here unless Goff comes in in game 5 and is Tom Brady Jr.
