as much as you and me.

But off the top of my head---yeah, Bradford did more with less FOR THAT SPAN---that's all it is saying
Goff's forst season and a half under McVay was far, far superior to anything Bradford has done

the point seems to be the REGRESSION of Goff after the KC game...more fumbles, more picks
fewer wins, more losses, all with better line and better receivers and so one that Bradford ever had

so, maybe it takes some brainpower to read the thing and get the point---maybe instead of
a simple reaction

your stats are off

and comparing Bradford to Goff is ridiculous

I don't agree that Goff's OL was always better than what Bradford had, though it depends on when you're talking about. It was very up and down over the years.

2010: Rams OL was relatively healthy but did not have great talent. It included Smith at ROT and Bell, Brown, & Goldberg on the interior.

2011: OL a train wreck in one of the Rams worst injury seasons. Only Dahl played the whole season.

2012: first half (8 games): another OL injury train wreck. Several different guys played LOT. The only position that did not need to start injury replacements in this stretch was ROT. It was virtually a different OL line-up each week.

2012: second half, through most of 2013: relatively healthy OL for the 15 games SB played in this stretch...fwiw PFF ranked the Rams 2013 OL 13th. Signing of Long helped--he had a good year in 2013 until hurt near the end.

2016: a healthy but overmatched OL that included Robinson, Barnes, and Wichman.

2017-first half of 2018: a healthy and well-used OL.

2018, 2nd half: the Rams OL got shakier, with Sullivan eroding and Blythe more exposed. It got heavily challenged by teams with strong fronts.

2019, first 9 games: the 2 OTs started out shaky, the 2 newbies on the inside did too. They missed Saffold.

2019, last 7 games: got by pretty well with 3 inexperienced injury replacements, AW got back to form--an inconsistent group but it grew and was capable of being solid.

IMO the best OLs in these years was 1st the 2017 OL, and 2nd the 2013 OL.

In terms of just comparing the qbs and leaving the OL out of it, Goff is a lot more instinctive than Bradford. So yeah no one ranks SB over JG. They were 9-7 in 2019 partly because of Goff, in spite of his inconsistency behind a shaky OL. Bradford would not have been as good under those conditions.
