So according to your doom scenario there, Goff starts himself even though he isn't ready?

...

I remember somebody saying that about Warner in 2002. The Rams started 0-4 with Warner, 0-1 with Martin and then Bulger went 5-0. At 5-5, Martz started Warner in Washington because Bulger was "injured". Trailing by 3, first and goal on the WFT 6 yard line with 17 seconds left, Warner fumbled the ball on an Arrington sack. The next week in Philly, in 35 degree weather, he couldn't grip the ball throwing 2 picks and losing a fumble. Two 3 point losses and the next (and last) game Warner started for the Rams was week 1 of 2003 because Jamie Martin started week 13 against KC. Bulger recovered and went 1-1 the last 2 weeks of the season. Of course, who believes Martz started Warner over a healthy Bulger against the Redskins? Is it conceivable Warner could have talked himself into the starting lineup over Martin? I guess it's possible. So could Goff talk himself into the starting lineup in the postseason over Wolford? Depends on how Wolford plays Sunday I would suspect.

Interesting trip down memory lane. In terms of that happening this year? I think it;s far-fetched at best.

On top of it, Martz was infamous for overlooking injuries. He would constantly goad banged-up players into playing. At one point Kyle Turley nearly assaulted him over it.

McVay is the opposite---he is far more likely to err on the side of caution.
