Here's PARAM from another board...
The Jared Goff Appreciation Thread
When we drafted Goff many loved the move. Some didn't. After going through year one in the Jeff Fisher, non-offensive offense he blossomed under McVay. He's had some bad games (most recently SF and Miami), he's had some good games (most recently Chicago) and some great games like Minnesota and KC 2018. It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately experience and we've questioned his play at times this year (and rightfully so). We have hope that between he and McVay, they'll get things turned around. And let's face it, they need to turn it around. Having said that, we must remember who we had at QB since we surged back to relevance in 1999.
Green was the future but then Warner came out of the blue. Bulger took over for Warner and to some degree, he was judged by what Warner did, which was a bit unfair to him. He was good and then battering after ugly battering took it's toll. We had Jamie Martin fill in from time to time during the Bulger years, a second round of Trent Green in 2008 and then a long list of nobodies and hopefuls that didn't work out. Berlin, Null, Boller, Fitzpatrick, Frerotte, Bradford, Hill, Davis, Foles and Keenum, then finally Goff.
In roughly 4 years (7 games in 2016, 2017-2019 and 8 games this year) Goff has amassed some impressive accomplishments including a Superbowl appearance. With 3 more TD's he'll pass Warner for #5 on the Rams list. He already passed first Warner then Van Brocklin this year for #4 in yards. He has the lowest interception percentage of any Rams QB with 70 TD passes, by far. And though his winning percentage, which is a reflection on team more than QB, is behind guys like Haden, Gabriel, Van Brocklin and Warner, if you take his baptism by offensive incompetence in his rookie year out, he only trails Warner. I'd think if KW started his career under Ground Chuck instead of the Martz influenced Vermiel, he wouldn't have the great win percentage he currently sports.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, yeah we've had some bumps but all in all we were looking for a franchise QB when we drafted Goff and collectively, he's performed well over the last 3 and half years. Has he lived up to expectations? For me, yeah. Of course, what he does the second half of this year will determine how Rams Nation feels about that.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
