Rampage2K-
Eli never broke a season with a 100+ QB rating, but he won a couple Super Bowls..... Goff has already shown to be much better than Eli, but he doesn't have to be, to just win games.....
Don't turn the ball over and don't try to do too much and we will win a lot of games with Goff imo
Eli is a good example of the non-elite QB who wins a SB. But he had one special quality: he was super clutch.
His performances would go up in the playoffs and SB. He played above his normal level. If not for that, he would never have won anything.
If not for that, I wouldn't build a team around Eli.
Overall, trying to win with a non-elite type - someone where all you're asking is for them to not turn the ball over or try to do too much - is too hard.
Well then the thing to do is just grab one of the many always available elite types.
That's one take away.
Another is where you pick up a Nick Foles or Jameis Winston type for $5 - $8M and/or bring in a QB on a rookie contract instead of paying $35M for the average, non-elite starter.
With the cost of QBs, I'm surprised teams aren't drafting them every year.
Those guys aren't winning though.
And it's a matter of opinion that Goff "is average," an opinion I don't share.
My view at least avoids the deeper problem, which is that Rams coaches and management somehow didn't recognize the guy they were extending on a typical qb 2nd contract was only "average." That's a pretty monumental mistake, and the same coaches and management people are going to be around for a while.
...
The Rams have made some pretty monumental mistakes on extensions in the recent past so avoiding that uncomfortable possibility is not a comfort to me.
Their philosophy on extensions is the one and only big issue I have with current Rams management.
