26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Next man up? The Jared Goff watch is in full bloom in Los Angeles. The rookie quarterback took first-team reps in the Rams' final practice of the bye week Wednesday. Is L.A. ready to switch QBs? One week after NFL Network's Steve Wyche reported that the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft would begin seeing increased practice reps, the Los Angeles Rams provided a strong hint that Goff will soon displace Case Keenum in the starting lineup. Goff took first-team practice reps in the Rams' final practice of the bye week Wednesday, per Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.
Mr. WEO Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Yes, give him the snaps for a day and then a nice week off! This won't end well....
mob16151 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 I'm looking forward too seeing Goff play honestly
26CornerBlitz Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 @TodaysPigskin Time to put in the No. 1 pick. The #Rams have no reason to hold back Jared Goff any longer: http://www.todayspigskin.com/nfc/los-angeles-rams/rams-no-reason-hold-back-goff-longer/
H2o Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Their OL situation and lack of a better organizational plan makes me think of David Carr with the Texans. I almost feel this guy is destined to fail.

I almost feel this guy is destined to fail. He doesn't have the physical stature to withstand much punishment. If he takes the reins, it could indeed get ugly.
Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Their OL situation and lack of a better organizational plan makes me think of David Carr with the Texans. I almost feel this guy is destined to fail. Exactly! The problem has not been Case - he's actually played pretty good considering. Goff will do worse, at least this year.
Blokestradamus Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 When I have a guy as high on my board as I had Goff and he's not playing, it makes me wonder if I screwed up my assessment. From what I've heard, it sounds like the biggest issue was picking up the new verbiage. Having heard Goff talk football before, he didn't strike me as a guy with bad recall. It leaves you wondering if his tutors might be failing him. With Jeff Fisher at the helm, I wouldn't rule it out. Frustrating that he's not playing but it might be a godsend for Jared in the long run. Need a heavy investment at OL next season.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 4, 2016 Author Posted November 4, 2016 @theMMQB "Here’s the No. 1 pick, other guys have played, it’s human nature to ask, why hasn’t this guy?” LA QB coach on Goff: https://t.co/8b254dslGB
Herb62 Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 I live in LA, looks like the kid has never huddled (HS or collage). He was a turn over machine in collage. Rams should fire GM Snead he passed on Wentz (goodbye)

And the even crazier thing is the fact they gave him a 3 year extension. Wtf?
YoloinOhio Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Getting his first start vs Miami on Sunday @mortreport Jared Goff will start Sunday for the @RamsNFL against @MiamiDolphins in front of a home crowd, per team sources. QBs were informed this am. @adamschefter Jared Goff will make his first NFL start Sunday at home vs Miami Dolphins, per @mortreport. Goff tries to give Rams postseason push.
zow2 Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Miami just got as big a gift as they could be handed in an NFL game. Keenum is not the answer either but probably would have made enough plays in the passing game to keep Miami off balance... The Fish will scheme against the rookie and make his life miserable.
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 I live in LA, looks like the kid has never huddled (HS or collage). He was a turn over machine in collage. Rams should fire GM Snead he passed on Wentz (goodbye) Neither did Mariota and he's doing fine. Case was terrible so it's hard to be a downgrade. I do agree Snead has done a bad job. Their WRs are terrible and a lot of busts (Greg Robinson). But I think the Rams are worried about hurting people's feelings so they aren't allowed to fire people.
YoloinOhio Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Miami just got as big a gift as they could be handed in an NFL game. Keenum is not the answer either but probably would have made enough plays in the passing game to keep Miami off balance... The Fish will scheme against the rookie and make his life miserable. only good thing is the LA fan base really wanted Goff so I think they will show up and really support him. I think Miami looks like the better team overall but the LT Branden Albert is probably out which could be bad vs Rams . Edited November 15, 2016 by YoloinOhio
aristocrat Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 I live in LA, looks like the kid has never huddled (HS or collage). He was a turn over machine in collage. Rams should fire GM Snead he passed on Wentz (goodbye) from what i remember about him is he crushed the bad teams but could never win a big game. but looking at stats he was pretty safe with the ball.
GG Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 I live in LA, looks like the kid has never huddled (HS or collage). He was a turn over machine in collage. Rams should fire GM Snead he passed on Wentz (goodbye) So you're saying he just pieced the plays together in a random way?
transient Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 So you're saying he just pieced the plays together in a random way? More like cut and pasted together random plays but at the end of the game there was a discernible pattern.
GunnerBill Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 I think just from hard knocks he seemed to lack was a confidence in his demeanour. Some guys just don't have that naturally. I agree on tape he looked good but that confidence, aura and natural leadership is hard to really judge from college games. That seems to be what he lacks.
8-8 Forever? Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 He doesn't have the physical stature to withstand much punishment. If he takes the reins, it could indeed get ugly. i would keep keenam in there. don't kill the kid
