Rams GM also won't speculate on Goff's future

 

Column: Having lost confidence in Jared Goff, Rams need to move on

Now starting at quarterback for your 2021 Los Angeles Rams …

Aaron Rodgers? Deshaun Watson? John Wolford?

Anybody, it seems, but Jared Goff.

His potential departure turned probable Tuesday when general manager Les Snead echoed the earlier vote of uncertainty from coach Sean McVay.


A couple of weeks ago McVay tepidly said, “He’s the quarterback right now.”

On Tuesday, Snead quietly said, “What I can say is Jared Goff’s a Ram in this moment. It’s way too early to speculate the future.”

Sounds like a consensus. Sounds like, if they can figure out a way to move him out, he’s gone.

 

I've always loved the quote by a former Florida AD by the name of Jeremy Foley "That which must be done eventually, must be done immediately." It applies beyond sports, but you can't allow uncertainty to creep into an organization, its distracting and can cause issues. Better to move Goff and get a Stafford or Matt Ryan while the Rams appear to be "in the window." What is odd now though is for years teams doing a tear down/rebuild would start with a QB and by the team grew up around them the QB would often be beaten down or just not develop and the team would be too good to draft another franchise QB at that point. Now, you really kind of need to build up up your lines for a couple of years, THEN draft a qb and a couple of impact players to take full advantage of the rookie scale. More than a few teams are upside down right now - top QB but heading for a rebuild, or in the window with an underperforming QB.

 

Is Stafford really an improvement over Goff?

 

Are you kidding..

 

You can take the boy out of Wisconsin...

 

I think many of the qbs in the "potential transfer portal" are very similar and it would have more to do with finding a team/coach/system they were a better fit for.

Ryan and Stafford seem similar.
Goff, Garappolo seem about the same.
And though stylistically different, I think Dak and Carr are about the same.

 

Count me out with the taint water.

Not even Belinda Carllisle’s taint water.

 

Are there rumors Ryan is leaving Atlanta? I don't think he's going anywhere.

 

The guy is 35 and I'm pretty sure the Falcons won't be going to a SB in the near future. They can finish 5-11 with anyone behind center.

 

I think they take a pretty big cap hit if they let him go now.
