I heard a long time Goff hater (Lombardi) say today that Goff only threw 10% of his passes into tight windows on Monday. People will take that and say........... see Jared isn't good. But that is 100% by design. Now you can say that Sean designs the plays like that to "protect" Goff and maybe that argument can fly but its still weak. I watched most of the games in week 1 and saw all kinds of QBs, young and old handing out INT like it was pumpkin spice lattes at starbucks. Jared maybe doesn't make the flashy play but he keeps the turn over down and that is what our head coach thinks is the KEY factor to winning and losing.

Saying that he was carried by the team is purely clickbait which anyone can see from a mile away and not fall for whats it designed to do. Get clicks. Post controversial stuff even if its utter garbage and at least it'll get you attention. Not a new formula by any means.

The only thing Jared needs to do to win most people over completely (including me) are a couple of balls to the wall game winning drives. If that game from Goff was a "poor" game........ like DB said, sign me up for poverty every week.

edit: i wouldn't call pff's rankings "shit" or whatever was said. They have quite a few "rankings" that defy common eye test and logic sometimes. It totally depends on what numbers you are looking at. I think PFF is pretty great. I think "rankings" of any kind are tricky.

That bunch at TST thinks they are so clever when actually they sound racist. Here's a tweet by them criticizing VinnyB on an article on McVay and Gruden. It was a clear disparaging reference to Vinny being Italian. These guys are not professionals, they are low level bloggers.

Where did he get that from? I saw a graphic that Goff threw 30% of his passes in tight windows.

Lombardi seems to just make stuff up. Or at least he doesn't check his information.

All summer long he kept saying Goff can't throw to his right. I have no idea where he gets this stuff from. Did he even look at the tape? I doubt it.

10% tight window was last year. Think about it, Rams scored 30 a game and Goff had a rating of 100 throwing rarely into tight windows. So McVay is a genius, this is a good thing. Of course Lombardi uses it as a criticism on Goff. "Man, he should have forced more passes last year."

Also, he was at 30% on MNF. The 10% on MNF is made up, this was rehashed during the game. Obviously, this is a de novo stat that didn't exist before when no one tracked this kind of stuff. With that and the deep shots Goff took, only makes me think this is part of the evolution process.

Yeah Witten I think was made a point of drawing attention to how he had increased his "tight window" percentage.

I don't know what Lombardi says about other things, but on the Rams, he's just completely swamped by some kind of bias. And that really seems to be the case. I'm not the type who trashes a reporter or analyst who says something I don't like. With him it goes way beyond that.

This was on 2nd and 15 late in third when score was tied at 13. Rams ended up punting on this drive. Too bad Goff doesn't see his superstar wide open in the flat.

not sure that's an accurate account, that goff didn't see a wide open gurley underneath, i think it's much more likely that the rams/goff wanted to take a deep shot in that sitch if they saw the coverage they liked pre-snap, knowing that gurley was an underneath safety valve if needed - and it appeared that they did like what they saw given that play was going one place once the ball was snapped, deep to cooks... also, the play before was an incomplete pass to cooks, my guess is they wanted to go right back to him.
