QuoteSpeed_Kills Well we will agree to disagree Goff’s last 8 games cumulatively, and performances against the Cowboys and in the SB just weren’t very strong I think by every measure Mahomes and Luck are better than Goff... at least right now. I can’t imagine the Rams losing that SB with either at QB and everything else being the same I think that Mahomes and Luck are in the top 6 oby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM I can do that because I'm an ex-admin. Gravity. Explain that to me. Well people don't get gravity. They can't explain it on the quantum level which is the same as saying they can't explain it.

Quotedzrams I thought the central premise was that he had such a cancerous relationship with the HC that it cost the team titles. The questions are: was their relationship cancerous as sources close to the situation say and did that cancerous relationship cause the team's downfall?

Quotemoklerman The source in this case is reliable because the "story"(hard to really call it that) is how he gets along with certain people. If you can't accept someone's word about how they personally feel as a valid source then there's really no point in even asking.

QuoteRam_Ruler If the Rams aren't panicking then I'm not. There's been zero inclination from anyone in the Rams camp suggesting that it's a serious long term issue.

No close reporters indicate they think there's an issue. And soby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteEkern55 Who was managing the draft back then? Was it football master mind, John Shaw? That was the then GM, Steve Ortmayer (95-96). Ortmayer was a friend of Shaw's.

QuotePHDram I think that's a pretty accurate view of Goff in 2018 and the oline. I think you could also add in the fact that the lions and bears may have provided a blueprint as how to defend the mcvay offense. It will be interesting to see how mcvay adjusts if at all. I agree.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach is the OL part of the issue? Sure. But Goff had a good line in front of him. The eyes don't lie. He missed open receivers, threw to the wrong guys, threw crappy passes. As with most situations, there is some culpability on both sides. Goff, at times, stunk it up. The bad games, the OL was an issue also. I don't think the 2 things can be separated.

QuoteL.A.Rams It was a catastrophe with Lawrence Phillips, Eddie Kennison, and Tony Banks in the first two rounds. Point taken. It was a bad one. But they did squeeze something out of it. Conwell got injured. Can't count that against them. Fred Miller was a starter at guard and OT in 98 and 99 so he wasn't a waste. Not saying it was a good draft.
