The Rams have everyone hurt and won the Super Bowl last year. Goff looks great on good offensive teams. What would Mahomes look like on a good offensive team? Drafting a better QB should not be this controversial. It’s the most important position on the field and to have an OK one is fine, but having a great one is both rare and better. If Holmes is the right man then he will only draft the right QB. And if he finds the next Mahomes then sorry Jeff, you did a good job and had stretches with numbers comparable to Stafford, but even you can see we have to go with this great QB and make multiple Super Bowls now. Let’s not be the Panthers or Jets (or Browns, 49ers, and Titans even) and not take Mahomes because we have a guy. We might be the Bears and take the wrong one, but then that means Homes isn’t the guy and it doesn’t matter anyway.

This isn’t all that difficult in my opinion. If you think Goff struggles with a bad team and thrives on a good team then great, what does that analysis get you? All that matters is what would a better QB do? If Holmes is drafting a QB to replace Goff then you should probably hope they are better and thrive even more on a good team. On a bad team you just hope they survive until the team is better. Kansas City seems to have been confident that Mahomes was going to be better than Smith. The hope is you have evaluators that are right, and that they will make that upgrade when they see the opportunity.

This is where I finally landed in my old age when it comes to drafting. At some point either your staff can identify good players or can’t. Higher draft picks are nice to get more options and allow a bad staff to accidentally get the right guy more often. But talented evaluators will find the right guys later as well, which is the only way to have sustained success (that or a once-in-a-lifetime QB). This year it’s the best of both worlds because of the Rams pick. Lions can win out and still get a high pick. And since I’m at the point that I trust Brad to pick the right guy more often than not, the decision to draft a QB doesn’t necessarily say anything about Goff. It’s probably is more indicative of the draft options. If he sees a once-in-a-generation guy at the top of the draft do we really think Goff would prevent him from picking that guy?

This one will be interesting to see. Holmes may be the draft guy and Snead may have been the trade away the future guy.

Ok, that was cool of him.

Oh, that’s a bad defense too.

That defense is bad.

Von Miller out for season with torn ACL

Nice

Sean McVay: Matthew Stafford not throwing in offseason affected 2022

Maybe I’m underrating the defense now.

He’s so bad

SOG.

lol

Not sure why the clock was running. He was out of bounds.

lol, never mind. Washington is playing for the loss.

I actually think they are still worse than I though. But they are better than peak embarrassment.

Giants are playing for a tie. lol. What a shitty coach.

That giants 3rd down play was unbelievably stupid.

That prediction sounds about right (maybe I said 5?). They are better than I thought they’d be. By a lot. This line is legit. These WRs are serviceable. Goff isn’t making too many mistakes. The defense is probably worse than I thought though. The defense is really really bad.

Oh, yeah. Then 3 seems realistic.

3-2 won’t be enough though. Needed that game last week to allow for 2 losses.

Was the clock running? It didn’t start on the whistle. Why would there be a runoff in a stopped clock scenario?

This delay of game is hilarious!
