Jared Goff
"It's funny that the spread quarterback was seen as such a scary thing going into every draft," Goff says. "I played in the spread, Patrick Mahomes played in the spread, Deshaun Watson, Mitchell Trubisky -- the NFL is so stuck in its ways sometimes. If you don't innovate and adapt, you're going to be left behind. It's about coaches; how do you get the best out of your players? It's not by forcing someone to run what you want to run. It's how you can make A the best A can be."
I wonder if Goff realizes that spread QB's are only now starting to succeed because the NFL has been continually changing it's rules to favor and protect the offense(QB's)? Spread QB's didn't work before because they weren't fit for the NFL, not because coaches were stubborn and set in their ways. Bring back the rules of the '70's, '80's, '90's, etc. and spread QB's will cease to be productive.
