top 30. Yeah, so we're, we've
gone from th
e top 40 to the top
30. It's been interesting, discussions on
all these guys up to this point, and I think the five we
have today are going to be some good ones here. Yeah, there
should be some good news. Is this is some interesting,
interesting, guys, and we start with a guy that I'm very
concerned about because he leads
my favorite team.
Yeah. Well, I understand your concern there and to a degree.
All right, Jared Goff, Detroit Lions. He will come in at
number 30. All right, Jared Goff, you know, let's say for
let's hit on.
Of the positives right off the bat. Okay, first off
big guy. He does have size.
So his ability to kind of
see over the line,
throw with people bearing down on him. He'll take a hit. He is
tough. That way. Jared Goff, I give him a lot of credit for
that. He is a pretty good athlete. I wish you would use
his athleticism more.
I think it's something you and I have talked about a little
bit over the last year and a half that times, where, you
know, move run. He is good. Sometimes he could stand in
the pocket
and you're just like, okay. I know they're teaching you to
stay here and go through the Reeds and be the quarterback.
Machine, but go out, get out, make a play, do that. And
sometimes they'll sit there forever and take a hit,
or take a hit or
or risk strip sack fumble because of that battle tested,
right? No doubt about it. He's played in some big football
games. He certainly knows how to handle a little bit of
pressure his arm. It's strong his arm. Now,
what's
the strong arm is? Yes, can he push some balls into some tight
windows and push the ball down the field? Yes, but at times he
can lose control of that, too.
And he can also throw a ball. That's not always the most
catchable to go along with that. So that would be
the thing, you know, with Jared Goff now, you know, to hit on
some of the negatives. Yeah, I'm kind of going there as far
as
there's inconsistencies in his mechanics that you've always
heard me say that, even if can we throw up that picture right
there, if you want for the Chris Simms, top 40
that to me just in itself, you know, is it? I've taught think
I talked about this last year, you know, his motion is arm,
can get too long at times even there with that throwing motion
to me, and like
it's
It's he lets the angle break in his arm to throw the football
too much. It's a long delivery. It's a long wind-up. The ball
is too far away from his head and definitely. Yes. It's very
rare to
see like if you can come back to me now again.
No, you just, I don't like two
balls. A little flick.
My hands are dry too. But yeah, I mean, again, most
quarterbacking, and if you're watching on YouTube, like, you
see, Rogers or more homes your Island, they always you're here
right here. 90 degree arm angle, right?
And then even when they throw it sidearm,
all right, it's still
stays at a 90 degree angle. They just drop their body down
and control it that way, golf at times can let his arm like
almost. I don't want to say, get straight but certainly
break that angle and then he'll let the wrist break to
to where again, he can piece it together and games and certain
times. We go. That's perfect, spiral great throw great, but
then there's other games and other throws that you've seen
and everybody else we go that Paul's kind of ugly or falling
apart.
The too many moving Parts in his mechanics.
That compromises some of his power
and his inconsistencies with accuracy
and of that. So, you know that that's what we're getting that
type of player. He is a pretty good decision maker, but he's
not going to carry the team through a tough spot or go.
Hey, guys, get on my back and let me make something happen.
I'll make plays
off schedule, you know, I'll throw lasers down the field
like this, and we'll change the game though. That's not what he
is.
You know, he's, he is a little bit of a game manager. I'm
going to say he's a little Plus in that because of his arm
strength to a degree but But you know, there is some some
flaws to his game. No question before there was to uh,
and before there was Justin Fields.
I think Jared Goff. We're almost polarizing guy. The
Hubble saw that you because you ranked him 19th after that
Super Bowl run. Yes. So why was in the Super Bowl? I was he
the 19th. Exactly. 18 better Rider backs, right? And you're like
maybe more because
then the next year
you ranked him 24th last year. He was 31st. So he's right
around that same age. Yeah, and I think we have the stats now
because part of it the discussion with him was like,
all right. Well, maybe it does. Sean McVeigh. Entrust him, but
maybe he's got abilities that other coaches would see in him.
And he would kind of have different stats. And so
you can compare now,
as we take a look at the 2021, Detroit Lions and 2020
Rams here the numbers. I mean, they're very similar
completion, percentage is similar
and he was a lot of in a lot of ways, the same quarterback.
I looked at the intended are yard sure. Last year, right. Last in
the NFL asking the NFL, they,
they have to finagle ways
to To find completions for him at times. He can go through
spurts where you just go away. It just
how do you miss that throw? How do you miss it that badly,
man? Oh man, then here's what here's a chance for a big play
down the field. It's off the off Target. So
yes, he's been managed that way and again
not to say that. I'm right. But this is why I'm here and why
I'm do I do this rank these rankings because I'm the guy
that's here to tell you. Oh, you just because he's in
the Super Bowl, does not mean, he's one of the best quarterbacks in
football.
It doesn't mean that.
Hello again, even though the 2020 season. Let me just go
back to that. He got bench for John Walford
John Wall for got hurt at the end of the regular season and
they still wanted to play John Walford in the playoff game.
And we're like, we think you could cut do it,
even though this guy brought us the Super Bowl two years ago,
right? We're done with him. So I think that says a little too
so yes, there is some systematic help that needs.
That is needed from Jared Goff.
So I think between that and that that's why it's a big year
for him. This is the year
to me. Me that it's make or break. He's gonna have to play
good football, be consistent and make some plays.
You know, we can't go through every game. Just going,
he did pretty good today. He didn't screw it up. Yeah,
because that's really where we got in a little bit with Jared
Goff. He did pretty good today. He didn't he didn't screw it up
or
when those guys were open.
He hit them right. That's kind of where we've gotten. Let's be
serious here. That's right. I'll say it. I know you're
nodding your head. You're probably trying to be nice to
the tried fan base a little
bit, but you know what?
Saying a little bit, you know, yeah, I'm
the only thing is, is that
there was not a great backup situation for the Lions last
year. And so when he was not available, which was a few
games. I mean they could do nothing. Tim Boyle could not do
and Tim boils. Probably not going to be on your list here.
No, he's not. John Walford is not in your list. That's
interesting.
But but there was a significant drop-off when he was not in
the game. And so as Alliance man, you know, you know, he has his
limitations but also at the same time last year, you were
grateful
when he was able to play. Yeah. He does give you some
Something there, you know it again is a guy that's been
there and done that. So I think there's something to that but
I think it's
you know, he's a guy that you look at to go. All right. Can
he turn the corner
or does he just hold the spot down for us one more year
before we find an improvement? Yep, and you know, by all
intended, the way it looks,
I feel like it's going in that direction.
Yeah, that he did nothing last year to solidify in their brain
to go. You're the guy for the future for a long. Long time
here now. I think there are totally quarterback Centric
team and they're not going to put it all in on
the quarterback, which I like, you
know, they're going to try to play a well-rounded game. Run
the ball play action pass defense and they're going to
try to make it not about the quarterback. Sure. But as we
know, you know, there's going to be a few games where okay,
you do all
those things, but you know what? It's going to come back
to the quarterback like in four and a half minutes left in
the football game. Now, he's got to make some throws or some big
plays. Like we saw the Steelers game, you know, there were some
chances there that day. We're men if you just make a few
throws in this game, you're going to go into Pittsburgh and
upset
them. Yep, but he did not do that. It did not take
advantage. They should have won that game easily that day and
they didn't, you know, it's I think scenarios like that that
are going to be big for Jared Goff and I think for a couple
years now, the Lions have said
that they believe in Jared Goff
Brad, Holmes was there in LA when they drafted him and so
they're going to give them a little time here. There was
some thought that they would take a quarterback in
the draft. Yeah. This year, right? And they elected.
Not to do that past multiple times. There was even talk that
maybe at number two as crazy as that is. Now hearing that, that
they might take Malik Willis there.
So what do you make of them passing on this draft class?
And I don't know, are they just crazy enough to
think that when they get to the Super Bowl or make
the playoffs? Whenever that is that Jared Goff is going to be
the guy to do that for ya. I know I don't think they're that crazy.
I don't know, I would have been one of them would have loved to
have seen them,
you know, early. Second round,
you know, after the trade Minnesota, take a quarterback.
Take a guy like Matt Correll something of that nature. Yeah,
I would have been all for that. They had opportunity. They did,
they definitely did. But obviously there's something
they just didn't feel comfortable with their,
you know, again, this is where
maybe the politics of the sports. Get a little involved
with the Jared Goff situation. Brad homes from the Rams. He
comes there. Maybe he was a believer in golf, right? Wait,
I'm trading a waste Matthew Stafford.
So the next guy have has to be some sort.
To the name. I can't just be like, hey, you got Matt Stafford
and we'll go with Tim Boyle for the night. Like
you got to be able to sell to your fan base that you're still
trying to do something here within that. Then you do that
and the assets you trade away
and everything there at the same time.
Okay. So now you want to justify that for a year or two.
I feel like they're stuck a little bit in like
the justification of the trade, you know, even though the trade was
for more than him. It was about the future of their football
team. And that's That's why
they did it, you know, but I think that, you know that
listen, they let go of Matthew Stafford. Who's? Oh, top 10
quarterback and football. Yep,
and they can't, just let him go,
you know, for nothing.
And that's where Jared Goff Elise. It's a name. He's been
to a Super Bowl. He's been to the pro bowls, all of that.
What I'm sitting here to tell you is that he's a big-time
needs a system, help type a quarterback
and he's going to be on the bench as a backup unless he can
kind of make some more plays or some more high-level throws on
a consistent basis. Going forward, should have some help.
I'm on Rothesay should be better. Good last year. Jameson
Williams. You like him a lot. Hope I don't think I'll of
their only
Ein Hawkins real, they've got everything but
that quarterback. But hey, the Rams,
they built everything, but the quarterback got him to a Super
Bowl. I know, I know so you can do that again. Yeah. We'll see
where it goes. And I think Dan Campbell the way he is kinda
old school. Yeah, they're going to run the ball, DeAndre
Swift. Keep it like a fishing with Jared Goff and they're
gonna hope. They can play defense and and win games.
23:20 2117. That's the kind of football team. I Envision them.
And I was talking about the Rams of a few years. We not
write this. We got you right Ram.
