Imagine...we might actually try to convert a third and 13 now. The fact fact we ran draws or wr screens on almost all third and longs this year spoke volumes to me.

They converted third and longs frequently.

There's actually a site that keeps stats on third and long. Goff threw them 48 times and converted a third of them, which ranks him 8th in the league. He was better at that than Brees, Watson, Rodgers, Wilson, Ryan, and Brady.

Stafford btw ranks 1st. He converted 38.7% of 62 attempts. He was better at that than everybody.

Those numbers are here: [stats.washingtonpost.com]

It's amazing to talk about a player who has fallen out of favor. People's memories go completely haywire. They remember this long litany of terrible things, even when those things are proven to be not as common as they assume. You remember nothing but WR screens on 3rd and long. But the fact is, the Rams converted 3rd and long at a higher rate than 24 other teams.

And it's also nice that Stafford was ranked first on that stat.
