the defense better take a step up, if they want any shot at anything. With Aaron Donald nursing his ribs, the rest of them took a giant dump. That won't get it no matter who the QB is, Brockers.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
You said "That said, we don’t live in an ideal or a static world so some variables may change. The defense may get worse. But that would have nothing to do with Stafford or Goff." If they had made a straight up trade Goff for Stafford, I would agree with that. But because the Rams had to throw in multiple 1st round picks and more to get the deal, then everything else that happens wiby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
I think McVay is pretty secure. Stan's not going to fire him anytime soon, whether this works or not. I think he's motivated by a desire to win, not to avoid the axe. Heck, if he was fired he'd have a job again in about 5 seconds! Yeah, football is a team game for sure. I just see a lot of posts saying how MUCH better Stafford is than Goff. Light years better. No comparison. No trainiby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
The saying is "The perfect is the enemy of the good". And what it expresses is that the pursuit of a perfect which may never be obtained can result in the discarding or the wasting of the good. You turned that on it's head. Which may be apropos to the situation. Have the Rams paid a big price trying to replace the good with the perfect? What I question at this point is whetby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
"Time to clear the bar, not lower it." Amen!!by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
I know there's already been a thread saying the opposite, but I just can't support that view. The explicit reason given for giving up on Goff was that McVay no longer believed that "the qb" could get them all the way there. I get that. And he may be right. We'll never know now. But that sets the standard right there. That absolutely sets what the standard is to play QB for theby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
This sentence really stood out to me, just as you highlighted it, Mama. "To one another". In other words, it wasn't just a coach telling the player how he was unhappy with the player, it went in the other direction as well. Maybe McVay heard some things from Goff that he didn't want to hear, and that really stuck in his craw. Pure speculation - maybe something like "yeah,by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
I stopped in to peek at the board leading up to the game in the past week, and it was all about what an important game this was, how vitally important it was that the Rams get a win. I didn't see the game but it's obvious that it must have turned out badly. You can tell just by sampling the posts. Today, it's a bunch of bickering about how off the QB was. Well, I guess that's understandby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
He knows good and well that all the coaches scheme and play design to get their receivers open. He knows Sean McVay is a good coach. I believe his point is that it is just not mentioned as often for other QB's/coaches as a reason for the why the QB is able to complete passes and look good. There's a frequent implication that Goff has it easy because McVay.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay was a story the moment the Rams hired him because of his age, and his wow factor. When he immediately turned a moribund Fisher team into a top contender, he was proclaimed a genius, and rightly so! And not just a chalkboard genius, but a real paragon in the way that he handles players and garners their respect. That also included an incredible turn for the positive in Goff's 2017 perby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
much discussion over multiple years about whether a QB should get any credit or whether it should just go to his coach. I think most people with any sense know that it's always a marriage where both partners bring value when it works, but these guys just can't help trying to find various ways to deny it.

I don't know if I can duplicate yesterday's search results. Maybe things have changed today. Here's two that I know I watched yesterday. Even some of the youtube comments complain that it's clickbait "nothing about rams". Went to this one specifically because title mentioned Orlovsky reacts Rams over Eagles. All about Wentz. video: This one titled Marcus Spears reacts but haby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
We can do (and have done) that by going 3-13 or whatever. I also don't like to see my own team overhyped. Just what's due will be fine. My answer to the commentary is yes, the Eagles suck right now and Wentz is in a serious slump. Now about those Rams...!by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
ALL of them consisted of "what's wrong with the Eagles? Are the Eagles done for the year? What happened to Wentz? Is Wentz the problem? Should Wentz be benched? What can Pederson do to help Wentz?" Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah. Over and over. The Rams were barely mentioned in passing. It's as if the Rams were just some sort of exercise or test that the Eagles had failed, aby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff is benefiting. And doing his part as well.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
I think we can agree that he has good or bad tendencies (reaction to pressure), and still disagree about whether he's improving or just temporarily playing better. If he's capable of improvement then he can get better against pressure even if he started from a very low place. On that 1st TD Sunday, there was an unblocked rusher barreling down on him. He altered his throw and still put it rby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
If Bradford had EVER QB'd the Rams to a Super Bowl the way Jared did in New Orleans that day. Or started a season like this, and also beaten Minn and KC the way Jared did in 2018. I would have begun to seriously doubt my position.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
It seems to me, and it's only my perception, that your remarks this season in the wake of his play are more open to the idea that Jared may be improving and able to improve. And it seemed to me that your previous position doesn't really allow for that, because you already knew what he was and it wasn't going to change. That's different than just "he played well". It's a subtleby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Good reset. And yeah, I remember our approach to Bradford. But if he had ever proven me wrong, I was fully prepared to say "I was wrong!", and even make a big deal of it. Unfortunately, he never did, and then the injury and the trade, and the ignominious wind-down of his career, and I never had to do that.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
If I recall correctly, last year you were saying that Goff is what he is (you didn't mean it as a compliment), you knew what he was, and the Rams were just going to have to live with it and work around it. This despite Goff supporters pointing out his age and arguing that he had plenty of potential for improvement. You clearly did not buy that. If you've changed your mind, I think you shouby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
