And that’s what worries me about Wolford. He took more big hits vs the Cardinals then Goff took all year.I really like Cowherd. But in this instance he is wrong about Goff and rollouts. McVay does the rollouts to cover for the Oline weakness and give Goff only half the field to read and Goff is very good at it. He led the league in those passes.
If you look at 2018 you’ll notice the rollouts were not a part of the offense like they are now.
Sure it would be nice if Goff was more mobile and ran like Aaron Rodgers with better instincts to just go. But there is no way that it’s better to have a running QB. A scrambling QB would be great. But running QBs get injured.
There are some running QB'S smart enough to avoid injury or just so bigBut running QBs get injured.
No denying human natureIt's what I've said all along. If you're looking for greatness you will find it while excusing the flaws. If you're looking for flaws, you will ignore the positive because it doesn't fit your criteria.
It's because he had nothing to lose. That was a moment he had been waiting forAnd that’s what worries me about Wolford. He took more big hits vs the Cardinals then Goff took all year.
Everyone loved Wolford lowering his shoulder to get a first down and I’ve heard people say that’s something Goff wouldn’t and couldn’t do. Goff isn’t gonna run for 50 yds but he’s not scared. Unless you’re Cam or Josh Allen running guys over probably shouldn’t be something you do regularly. We’ve seen Goff run for 1st downs and tds. Taking on lbs like Wolford did is not the way to have a long nfl career and isn’t really what I want to see my qb doing. I was kinda worried when he got up and his helmet was sideways but he’s tough. That’s the thing about smaller qbs though sometimes they can’t hold up physically, Kyler is a tough dude but sometimes you gotta stand in there and take a shot and he ends up hurt.And that’s what worries me about Wolford.

When Wolford ran for first downs and completed some downfield throws, those that have longed for Goff's departure saw what they wanted.

An objective evaluation would compare both QB's vs THE SAME OPPONENT. In that regard, the stats say the competition isn't remotely close.
Agenda is your answer.
Good listen. Love ED's hate for the cowboys lol

My big things is did Goff never playing f’n baseball? Those slides I’ve seen him attempt especially recently are horrid. Going to have to practice with Wilson this off-season to learn that! LolI think there's something to be said for knowing your place in the grand scheme of things.
This is going to sound messed up, really messed up, but if you think about it..
The Rams winning this game was more important than Wolford not getting injured (talking football injury that he can bounce back from - obviously if he were to sustain a serious injury that's more important than the Rams winning).
With a franchise QB, generally it's going to be better to lose the game than it is get injured, as that could lead to more losses. That wasn't the case with Wolford and I think he knew that. How many of us really expect a big drop off from Wolford to Bortles? I know some on here didn't even want Wolf to start.
But that said - Goff's play hasn't been stellar of late, which is sort of what bothered me with him sliding short against Seattle. Also, he could gone head first and been afforded similar protection. Having said that, I'm sure McVay coached him to slide after the fumble against the Niners, so while it did bother me at first, after thinking about it I get it.
Hmmm was I apart of the 30 or the 70 or was I apart of the 100?There are about 30% ( I counted) that have the Goff agenda on this site...outright blame 16 for all the losses.
70% seem to have a more nuanced view.

It's ironic as Goff's dad was one of the better sliding catchers (imo) back in the day,My big things is did Goff never playing f’n baseball? Those slides I’ve seen him attempt especially recently are horrid. Going to have to practice with Wilson this off-season to learn that! Lol
