I love it that the Rams are doing what they can to try to win a Super Bowl. Trading for Stafford increased their chances - that's pretty much all I can ask, knowing that there's no way to guarantee the results.
Personally, I would rather see the Rams try to win the Super Bowl and fail than not try at all. And the alternative? To stick with Goff after they've already decided that they can't win the SB with him? Thanks, but no thanks.
It's about increasing their chance of winning a Superbowl. Stafford increases the Rams chances.
That's just the thing..... this should have raised ALL of our expectations not just be ok with oh well they tried.....this move will be a failure if they fail to get further than where Goff already had us...Which was in a Super Bowl just two years ago
I don't think it's where Goff took us to in 2018 but where the "current" Goff would take us. Defenses already adjusted to the 2018 Rams offense so could current Jared succeed in the the current Rams offense ? I think this is where we are now.
understand that, but when watching what happened in GB its clear it wasn't about Goff who actually played well enough to keep that boat race somewhat close.
and also. isn't it up to the coach to make sure you run an offense that was successful with Goff to maintain that offense instead of scrap it??
It's not the "current" Goff, its the "current" offense which ironically wasn't our issue in our most crucial moment of 2020
So when the coach and GM start pointing the finger at the QB as the reason we haven't won the Super Bowl yet, which is fine, but when you do that and give up as much as you did to replace that issue fans and media are going to expect you to at minimum get back to the an NFC Championship ....anything less than that will be considered a failure to many.
don't get me wrong, I love the fact our coach has the cajones to pull off these moves and his desire to win it all, just better be prepare to for the pressure that comes with it, I'm sure he will be and understands the expectations many now have
I always respect your takes R2K, you know that. I just feel that McVay did try to adapt the offense to fit Goff's strengths but it didn't work. Still too many turnovers and poor decision making by Jared. I didn't see the growth I was hoping for.
I believe when pressure is applied to Jared, he doesn't react quickly enough (read what's open in the defense) which tends to lead to turnovers. Jared has a very long delivery which allows defenders to strip him as he throws. He also is not extremely mobile so he needs to have better pocket awareness.
It doesn't mean Jared isn't a good QB but that he isn't successful enough in McVay's offense. Look, I like Jared and wanted him to succeed as much as you, but I believe McVay did everything he could to help Jared (roll-outs, shortening up the passing offense, improved OL play) but Jared just did not improve IMO.
The NFL is an adaptive system. If you can't evolve your offense or defense each year (believe me, defensive coordinators adapted to the McVay 2017-2018 offense), then you're going to fail (I know you know this already). McVay adapted but Jared couldn't to the level expected by McVay so they decided to go in a different direction.
After 4 successful season2, I will go with McVay's opinion until proven otherwise. But yes, we gave up a lot and expectations will be high. I just don't see missing the Superbowl as a failure in this case.
