There's a conversation we need to have about Jared Goff. That plus leftovers plus a bit of appreciation for things in general (IT'S CALLED THANKSGIVING FOR A REASON).
I Ramnchop, have been on the Goff train since he was tortured as a rookie by Jeff Fisher and Kase Keenumb in the last half of the 2016 Season. Goff vastly improved in 2017 and 2018. Then there came the SB LIII collapse against an inferior NE team. Goff has never recovered from that debacle, and may never recover. At least I no longer think he has a bright future with the Rams. As Yogi Berra once said; “90% of the game is half mental.” Right there is where Jared Goff fails. His problem is that he doesn’t have a true NFL QB brain. There’s no Rodgers, Warner, Wilson, etc. mental wizardry upstairs in Goff. While he certainly possesses the physical attributes of height, a strong arm and ability to take a hit, the man can’t think quickly and efficiently when things on the gridiron don’t go exactly as planned. After 5 seasons it’s time to help Goff move on and try for success on another NFL team. Maybe he’ll recover and be a late bloomer like two time SB Champ Jim Plunkett. Doubtful, but the facts are that the Rams need a tough, grizzled and “NFL smart“ QB to succeed. Where do we get this guy and how do we pay him? I have no clue. Whatever, I’ve disembarked from the Goff train. The Rams’ troubles are not all on Jared Goff, but he’s a major part of the problem. Sad.
