This isn't a flame war, it's discussion.
There are issues to discuss with Goff because people have various and different takes on things like the superbowl performance and 2019. As someone who will get into the thick of those discussions, I may disagree with this or that take, but I know the other side are not "haters." It just guys with different takes on certain things, and not even necessarily THAT different.
Goff is playing well in 2020 and I have my view as to why, but the truth is the bigger tests are after the bye. So there's a long way to go to see how he ultimately measures up this year.
The discussions/debates may get fraught sometimes but they are healthy to have and everyone in them is a diehard Rams brother.

Is there a list of words we cannot use here? "Hater" is one of them? Sorry if I missed it. I am pretty sure I have seen the word "hater" used here before without any backlash. What word better describes it?
Seriously man, you are reading WAY too much into a "term". The term "hater" is not disrespectful. It's a very common term used all the time for people that are critical of something or someone. This implies to the
media and everyone else.
Not one singular person. This was not meant to start a "flame war". No need to read too much into it.
IMO, Goff gets waaay too much "hate" (or whatever you want to call it) especially by the media and is not given enough respect IMO.
hat·er
/ˈhādər/
Learn to pronounce
noun
noun: hater; plural noun: haters
a person who greatly dislikes a specified person or thing.
"a man hater"
informal
a negative or critical person.
"she found it difficult to cope with the haters"
The fact that the word is used before here without any backlash does not mean it is not disrespectful. Same if "t's a very common term used all the time " doesn't mean its disrespecful. Personally, I have a pet peeve when someone uses the word in a cavalier manner even though they really don't mean the literal meaning of "hate". Its just a lack of civility-something we sorely lack these days. OTOH I don't have a problem when it's used on a non organic object: "I hate math".
