Here is another stat that our "System QB" could of never become....

Coming from a Air Raid system...

It was said from the media and scouts that he could never work as a QB underneath the center...

Well from last year,,, he was at 58% underneath the center... second in the league of all QBs and only eight QBs over 50% underneath the center...

This year he leads the league at 68% underneath the center with only five QBs over 50% underneath the center...

Ranking 4th in the league in yds. and 6th in QBR at 111.....


I like our "System QB"

You know...I never saw anyone say "never."

Or that Goff for some reason would not be able to do it.

Obviously all college shotgun qbs, whether from an Air Raid or another type of spread system, have to adjust to playing under center which of course means more than just taking snaps. But I don't remember anyone saying any qb, let alone Goff, could never. make it work.

If someone did say "never" that would surprise me.

I’m sure you’ve heard people call Goff a bust 2 years ago. Many said he couldn’t play.

Yes. But they called him a bust based on his struggles as a rookie starter.

What I am talking about is different from that. It's the claim that some people said before he was drafted that he would not be able to play under center. I don't recall anyone saying that particular thing.

There was a faction of detractors who erroneously doubted his ability due to his playing in an “air raid” offense.
That fallacy has been clearly debunked but still, there are those unwilling to just admit they were wrong.

Let’s evaluate a few facts here and see if their is any synergy between the two.

Now of course I realize that there was a hint of sarcasm there but bare with me here.

One has a history of no infractions and widely considered to be a team first guy.

The other well, where to begin...

TD crotch grab
Quit on his teammates in KC

Ah enough of this foolishness.

Bottom line the Chiefs called 31 teams about trading Peters 28 of them said no thanks!!!

You’re right. I see the semblance.

I don't know where you're from but out here in the local L.A. area,,, and media were calling him a bust and coming from the Air Raid system during his first year...

Then talking about not being able to work underneath the center... because they didn't do that in his colleges days...

Prior to the draft, they were comparing both Goff vs Wentz, Goff coming from the Air Raid and Wentz coming from a Pro Style offense in college....

Sorry if I dont have a news link for you,,, but this was coming from all the TV, radio,,,
Maybe if you like you can google it.... I'm sure you find something.....

Okay, let's do so.

Quit on his teammates in KC

That's not a fact, that's an opinion. Many disagree, including several Chiefs players who expressed upset at the trade.

Bottom line the Chiefs called 31 teams about trading Peters 28 of them said no thanks!!!

I'm pretty sure that's not a fact either. I think you may have just assumed this and posted it as a fact. Moreover, some who considered trading for him likely declined due to the price tag (both in terms of trade compensation and Peters' present and future compensation).

Everyone knows that Peters has had some behavioral issues. He's also been an extremely effective and productive player. This isn't the first time the Rams took on a player with such a profile. Heck, Marshall Faulk was known as a bit of "problem child" when the Rams stole him from the Colts.

If you don't think the positives outweigh the negatives, that's fine. I suspect you'll be in the minority of opinion on that one.

Me either. I did hear the line that air raid guys never make it. or some such thing.

[Hacksaw]

I can see where Peter could be considered a head case. He certainly loves to draw attention to himself. Me not We'ish..
His play on the field is important too, , and that has been pretty good (bomb Sunday for a TD not withstanding) .. I'm all about fielding a dominant team which Peters can help achieve. So as long as he doesn't become a distraction (which we should know by the end of the year) I'd lock him up. (not jail)
