now that’s something to get excited about because they plainly see areas he needs to improve and it’s not just based on last year
he needs to play better when pressured that wasn’t just last year
so good reading that
now i’m getting excited!
I think he actually improved under pressure last year. Given the challenge of the circumstances, that says a lot.
That's even given the fact that overall they regressed on offense (as did his numbers).
You can't go 9-7, be 7th in yards and 11th in points, and throwing as a team as much as they did (3rd in attempts) if things were THAT bad.
They weren't THAT bad.
Three qbs I have looked at had subpar OL play in 2019. In all 3 cases the qb regressed as a result. The Rams did better than the other teams in spite of it.
Here's some numbers. All 3 qbs looked at here fell off from 2018, as measured by qb rating and team record (the record is not all on the qb but it indicates a struggling team). In each case the major factor was the OL.
Rivers
2018 105.5, 12-4
2019 88.5, 5-11
Ryan
2018 108.1, 7-9
2019 92.1, 7-9
Goff
2018 101.1, 13-3
2019 86.5, 9-7
