I did not get to see the game since in my area the NFL network did not carry this pre season game but I heard Goff looked good in that game from others so I found some clips of highlights of the game. as you can see from these clips,Goff indeed is looking more and more like an NFL starting Quarterback and coming into his own. Looks like they got a pretty good reliable backup as well.
I dont expect them to be a playoff contender or anything this year but I figure they will at least win twice as many games this year as last year and that would be an improvement. From those highlights,I can for sure see now WHY they were high on Goff.
Looks like Todd Gurley and the other Ram players as well after having a season under their belt in LA now,have been able to put the distraction of playing in the big LA market behind them as well also and it is no longer a distraction to them. No surprise,I knew it would not take them more than a year or two to get past that distraction of being in the spotlight under the radar. these are professionals you know.
this is a good article as well how he has come into his own,
Jared Goff shows he's growing into role of Rams quarterback
His teammates have noticed more confidence, more conviction.
"You can tell, especially just starting with the command of the offense, him being able to take that and control the huddle and get guys lined up, and keep that poise when things aren’t going well and when things are going well," said Higbee, Goff's roommate throughout training camp last year. "He looks good."
"More confident, more relaxed, more poised in the pocket" is how second-year receiver Mike Thomas compared this year's Goff to last year's Goff. "Letting the game come to him and taking his time, being patient on the field."
This was NOTHING like the Jared Goff we saw last year.I cant ever ONCE remember him having a game like this as seen in this video. His play will be much more improved this year. I remember people around here and others i would talk to at my workplace who were already writing him off last year as an NFL quarterback just from his bad play of last year.
They did not seem to understand that not everybody can be a Russel Wilson and come strait out of college and look like an NFL quarterback their first season.
Wilson also finished college where Goff was just 21 years old,a baby right out of college so of course he was going to look like he did not belong in the NFL last year coming straight out of college and having very little time to get adjusted to the speed at the pro level and very little time in training camp to get used to his team mates.
Having an entire off season to work with them and get to know them though and study film has really paid off for him though. People dont remember that even John Elway stunk it up his first year in the pros as did Peyton Manning. and it took Eli like three or four years before he came into his own.
Now that he has an offensive minded coach in Sean Mcvey and is free of that moron Jeff Fisher and PLUS the addiiton of Sammy Watkins as a receiver,my LA buddies have a lot to look forward to this year.Watkins has been a major addition for them.Just his presence on the field alone and finally having a legitmate number one receiver to throw to,opens things up for the other receivers he has.
I said many times the last couple years once the Rams came to LA,they would get serious about building a winner and would want to win.the signing of Goff,the long over due firing of jeff Fisher and now the signing of Sammy Watkins proves that being in LA now,they are indeed trying to win. something Kroneke NEVER tried to do in stank louis.
