and want teams to do the "Moneyball" thing so that it can include them
To them Rams were dumb to sign Gurley to such a big deal and because Rams didn't win Super Bowl, because you know, some
other teams are good too and Rams lost to a GOAT coach and GOAT QB.
It's dumb.
he wants his prediction
"
When I watched Goff's college tape, I saw a quarterback who was prone to certain repetitive issues that would be highly problematic if they surfaced during his NFL career. I noted that his internal clock sped up under pressure, that he was far too often a "see it and throw it" player who relied too much on pre-determined reads, has a target in mind from the snap and isn't flexible enough to adjust when receivers slip, slow down or are jammed at the line of scrimmage. and throws wild and high when his mechanics get off-kilter and is prone to throw multiple interceptions when this happens.That Goff has peeled his game back to the point where these issues are again paramount has to be highly disconcerting. And if it's true that opposing defenses have figured out McVay's machinations, it will be up to Goff to transcend that schematic battle with his own ability to improvise. That's what is expected of franchise quarterbacks who get franchise quarterback money.
Based on the evidence, there's not a great chance of that happening-at least in the short term. The hope seems to be that over the long term, Goff will develop into the quarterback the Rams need him to be. If not? The decision to commit to him as opposed to rolling the dice and going after another quarterback on a rookie deal, giving the Rams more years and more cap dollars to continue at a championship level, could be a great regret for McVay and the franchise.
As I said, some NFL team will eventually go Full Metal Moneyball and drag one rookie QB deal into another. The Rams were in an optimal position to do so.
