the number of times teams have won despite trailing in the 4th quarter this season (and gsot era), hopefully goff can get his shit together and move up the list before it's too late:

In spite of the rather gratuitous dismissive sarcasm (lol ), it is true that the team is better at that in 2018 than in 2017. It's now 7 games, 3 wins, 2 wins coming in 2018, but way way way too soon to cherry pick a number for that. In 2 seasons that's 40+%, in one season it's 66%, who knows what it will be when they have far more than 26 games.

And if you do 2 years for the GSOT, why just one year for the McVay/Goff regime?

Your numbers for 99-2000 though don't work.

They came from behind to beat Denver with 2:58 left.
Seattle tied with 2:05 left but the Rams won it with 0:23 left.
Rams pulled ahead of SF with 10:21 left. Green was the qb.
Carolina tied with 10:43 left and then went ahead with 0:40 left. Green was the qb.
Saints scored to break a tie with 3:50 left. Green was the qb.
Tampa came from behind to win with 0:48 left.
Rams came short in the playoffs against the Saints after the Hakim fumble .

That's 7 games in 2000. The Rams went 3-4 in those games. WARNER however went 2-2. (Green went 1-2). Combine that with 99 (2-2) for Warner and it's 4-4 or 50%.

I meant to just say,,, some posters, get fixated about what is an elite QB, and the first thing they mention,,, they need to have been able to have a memorable comeback win,,,

But my point was,,, it doesn't matter whether its a win from the front or coming from behind,,, they key is winning the game...

Its just like the Miami Dolphins,,, they are the only undefeated team to win a SB....

But is it any less meaning for another other team that wins a SB???? Its not for me....

I thought the 99 season was a special season for the RAMs and I'll put that season on top of any SB season for any other teams...

And a lot of us just do what we are inclined to do. I can't tell you to COUNT comeback wins in your view of the qb. Not sure why you would tell me not to. Cause...I have, do, and will anyway.

A win is a win, except, some are comebacks. The comeback wins tell you this about the qb. That under time constraints with pressure on and very little left in terms of "punt this series score the next" type options, the qb remains the same productive cool customer. That's an advantage, since close games are unavoidable. It's something I admire in qbs and am greedy enough to want the Rams to have it too.

Heck Brees just won a comeback. So even HOF qbs end up in that situation.

You don't count that? Okay. We just vote differently on this. Some of us do count it. Fair enough?

Of course. And also of course, I want every day to be my birthday, to live forever, and be able to eat pie all the time without gaining weight. Oh and people to just give me some land near a lake. Lots of it.

It's a false dichotomy. You can have a team that can dominate the scoreboard AND one that can come back late from ties and being behind.

I mean. Brees did it. Just last Sunday.

The 99 Rams set several offensive records and they were in 4 come from behind games. They lost 2 (Det. and Tenn.) and then fortunately for us, didn't listen to you and went ahead and won the other 2 (Tampa, won with 4:44 left coming back down from down by 1, and the super bowl, where they broke a tie for the win with 1:54 left).

Close games happen. To all teams. Like it or not. It's just good to win them.

Brees didn't bring his team back from down 35-14 though, Goff did

When you pick up a news paper or go on into the internet,,, and look up the standings of a team,,, they have a win or lost recorded...

I don't see a column for comeback wins... I just see a win column....

You dont' get extra credit for a comeback win.... they put it in the win column...

i think you're selling qb 4th quarter comebacks short... this season keenum has more 4qc than brady, mahomes, and rivers, to name a few - who cares that keenum also ranks 28th in qb rating, that he's led his team to a 22nd in offensive points scored, and has commandeered just 3 wins, the man has more 4qc than some of the top dogs, and don't think for a second that canton hasn't taken notice.

Rivers was always weak at comebacks btw. Not sure why you picked him ( I know why you picked just one year.)

Brady last I looked has the highest career comeback win percentage. But that has nothing to do with him being good of course. The really savvy analysts discount that aspect of his game. They prefer to dwell on the fact that all Patriots wins have always been lopsided blowouts.

can hardly wait until goff pulls one of these, some will scream for mannion while simultaneously texting feverishly that goff can't hold wentz's jock, ha ha...

Pretty close last year against Seattle with that near Cooper Kupp TD

Yes that one was close.

A lot of them are, though. For example in 99, you probably remember the game where at 2:42 Warner threw the TD that would have put the Rams over the Lions 27-24 ... but the Lions scored with 0:28 left, and ruined it.

OTOH everyone (including me) is counting the GB game, but in the game winning drive, JG threw just 2 passes and one was negated by a hold.

In comparing percentages, you just figure everyone has a game or 2 like those and over time it just evens out.
