not because I think it 'unworthy'... it most certainly is... but rather because I don't really see one as definitively better than the other. They are different.. true... and I think either style can work in the NFL. Yes, Wentz's style does probably mean more risk.
At the combine I thought Wentz won hand's down... and was all for Wentz up until this board changed my mind... but that only occurred, (can't remember exactly), I think just a few days before the draft.
Today I think.. even had we chosen Wentz we'd be on our way to greatness... perhaps not as great, at least I lean that way... but I think we'd be happy. - JamesJM
I thought Goff was clearly the class of the Combine. Jumped off the screen to me.
I thought Wentz was a much better fit for Jeff Fisher so the team drafting Goff should have been an indicator that they might be moving in a new direction. Fisher stubbornly slow-playing Goff's development further supports the idea that Goff was his guy.
From what I have seen, Fisher was the driving force behind the Goff selection and has said why.
There is no such thing as a "Fisher style qb" for one thing. They took McNair because he was the best qb when they picked in 95. That doesn't mean every qb afterward had to be a McNair.
The famous day in Berkeley in the rain is what sold them on Goff. They fell in love with his arm talent and how the ball even sounded different in the air when it came out of his hand. There's plenty more to like about Goff they would have seen from Cal, like his toughness and intelligence and quiet steady leadership and heavy investment in being a good player.
This is a coach who, after all, coached against Peyton Manning in the division for years. He would know how to admire a pure passer like Goff.

I'm just saying what I think..
Me too.
I also strongly disagree with you, based on a lot of things.
I think it's pretty clear Goff was their guy from the day they worked him out in Cal.
Either that or a lot of people in the Rams organization came up with and all back the same elaborate lie, at length, and often, and in several venues, and all independently of each other. Which is far less likely a scenario than the obvious one that Goff was their consensus pick from the work out on.
