Why is Goff's demotion to 3rd string not a bigger story?

Good, I hope the Rams fall flat on their face and Goff is a bust. Serves them right for giving LA to these bum ass nikkaz over the Raiders. Raiders won LA a Super Bowl, all the Rams brought to the table is Jeff Fisher led fukkery.

Of course Goff shouldn't have gone #1 but your post is on the 20/20 hindsight side of things

No it's not because he's telling you that he never would have drafted Goff. He's not saying that as a result of summer camps, he would change his decision to draft Goff.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

IMO drafted QBs shouldn't start day one anyway as no team will ever be a drafted QB away from the Super Bowl. Let the dude sit the bench and learn the game before you send him out there to get shell shocked, embarrassed, or hurt.

But this isn't based off your opinion. He wasn't drafted first to sit and learn. The Rams drafted him to start and lead the franchise in the right direction as they were, according to THEIR HEAD COACH "a QB away".

It wasn't exactly a choice of one over the other

He don't know it was a case of who can afford it.

does anyone really watch cal games tho

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Anyone making excuses in defense of Fisher and the Rams FO clearly doesn't understand how the draft works...

The number 1 overall is not to be used on a fukking project player, its to be used on an NFL ready talent...
Not only did these idiots draft a player number 1 overall they can't start but also mortgaged the next five years in order to pick him...

Fisher has always been the symbol for privileged white mediocrity but this is pure INSANITY...

It is based on my opinion. The topic is asking why him sitting isn't a big deal, if people don't care then that's exactly why it isn't a big deal. Also who gives a shyt about Goff? He had no hype in college, played for a bad to mediocre Cal squad, and I don't even know what bowl they played in the one year they had a winning record. The dude was a nobody for everyone outside of California until draft night.

That's exactly why him sitting isn't getting a lot of attention.

The fact that the Rams gave up a lot to get him doesn't in and of itself create public interest in him.

i dont get u dudes. u hate the media and all evil ways of creating bullcrap stories but let it be some shiit you want them to say its "where the media at"

Doesn't seem like that big a story to me tbh. It's Week 1.

But this isn't a bullshyt story. A franchise traded a first-round pick (2016), two second-round picks (2016), a third-round pick (2016), a first-round pick (2017) and another third-round pick (2017) and got back Titans' first-overall pick (2016), a fourth-round pick (2016), and a sixth-round pick (2016), for a player who was demoted to third string.

I dont think anyone thought Goff was a franchise QB tbh

If this happend to Teddy or even Manziel, it would be a big story.

I honestly don't think anyone cared much about Goff.

you're spoiled by all these day 1 QB's though that have come in. Most people felt there wasn't a top 5 or even top 10 QB in this draft in terms of overall talent, but teams get desperate and need that guy.

"The statement I'm going to make to you guys, and you can tell me whether you agree or not, is I'm at the point now with both Wentz and Goff where I think they're every bit as good, if not better, than Winston and Mariota from a year ago as prospects," Mayock said.
Mayock: Goff-Wentz as good, maybe better than Winston-Mariota

"I wish somebody would start some rumor to get (Jared) Goff to fall in the draft. Let's get that small-hand talk going! We would take him tomorrow. He's the best quarterback in this draft and it's not as close as the media is making it sound." -- NFC executive on the Cal QB
NFC exec: Jared Goff is draft's best QB, we wish he'd fall to us

"Right now, Jared Goff is the best passer in the draft," Mariucci said. "He is a pure passer. Love the kid not just because he is a Cal guy, but he has a great football IQ and he has been well coached. I love him to death."
Jared Goff 'best passer in the NFL draft', says Steve Mariucci

Why Jared Goff Is the Next Franchise QB

"we can have our pick of a franchise quarterback"

Because hes going to start this year. Him being third string next year is the story

Fisher kept McNair on the bench early in his career too and that worked out pretty well. Goff might wind up being a bust, but it's too early to bury him because he's not starting week one as a rookie.

nikkas overeacting and the season ain't even begin

This don't mean shyt

NO rookie qb should start
U should invest in him
Let him soak up game
And the next season let him do his thing

The news would be if in the 2nd season he wasn't the starter

He got DEMOTED to third string. He couldn't beat out or compete with Case Keenum or Sean Mannion. In case you didn't know, here is some background on the Rams QB situation:

Most relevant are the decisions of a year ago. With Sam Bradford having re-injured his ACL and the Rams left with a duo of free agent-aimed Shaun Hill and Austin Davis, Head Coach Jeff Fisher and General Manager Les Snead opted to completely overhaul the position with three new options.

All three failed, the result of which led the Rams directly to the trade that helped them acquire Goff.

The Foles-Bradford trade completely overshadowed the Rams decision to send a 2016 NFL Draft seventh-round pick to the Houston Texans for Case Keenum. The trade, at the time, was seen as a reasonable one to bring in a solid backup to Foles. Here's what TST's Sean Wilkinson said in our 2015 season preview for Keenum:

If he's on the 53-man roster and is starting, the Rams have some serious issues. I want him wearing that ballcap and holding that clipboard. Nothing else.

By mid-November, Keenum was on the 53-man roster and starting. They had serious issues. Remember, this was the same Case Keenum that was unable to beat out Austin Davis to make the 2014 roster who had now come back and replaced Davis and then supplanted Foles atop the depth chart. That alone makes no sense.

But that's where the Rams were. They responded with an absolute hellscape of a football game against the Baltimore Ravens that should have prompted Congressional action to formally remove from American history. Keenum (who again had been promoted to the starting position as Jeff Fisher's solution to improve the offense) finished the first half with 31 passing yards. He would finish the game by fumbling away a potential game-winning drive by trying to play through a concussion that everyone but Fisher saw. In the game recap, here's how I summed things up:

It's not enough to say the Rams' offense is pathetic. It's more than that.

It's the incapability of the offensive mishmash on the depth chart. It's the irresponsibility of the coaching staff. It's the apathy of the media that should at least get more of an answer out of those players and coaches.

It's top to bottom unsuccessful. It's not one person. It's not one factor. It's the comprhensive failure of everyone involved.

Everyone.

The Rams would return to Foles as Keenum underwent concussion protocols to lose two more games; Keenum returned to see the Rams win three of their four final games to give the season an unwarranted air of promise. After Foles final start in the Week 13 home loss to the Cardinals dropping the Rams to 4-8, Fisher fired Offensive Coordinator Frank Cignetti, Jr. Todd Gurley had been ground into fine dust by the surrounding failparts.

Fisherball had exhausted all of its components leaving a charred horizon behind it as it headed west.

Sean Mannion
Forgot him? That's understandable. The Rams spent their 2015 NFL Draft third-round pick on Mannion and then allowed him to soak up the tutelage of Fisherball watching the league's worst offense. Snead would, amazingly for a braintrust that rarely accepts any responsibility for any failures, accept responsibility for entirely mismanaging the process described in the above 750 words:

If I learned one thing last year we should have let the quarterbacks have a competition from the start and the best man win instead of just passing the torch to Nick [Foles]

The Rams wasted draft capital, time and effort on the QB position in 2015. Everything they did was wrong. They failed at every point en route to the league's 32nd-ranked offense in yardage gained.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Those of you defending this blatant stupidity answer me this one question...

How the fukk is your franchise QB going to be more NFL ready watching two journeymen Case Keenum and Sean Mannion throw interceptions?

 

[SlurRty]

This dude was heavily touted coming into the draft. Rams traded first-round pick (2016), two second-round picks (2016), a third-round pick (2016), a first-round pick (2017) and another third-round pick (2017) and got back Titans' first-overall pick (2016), a fourth-round pick (2016) and a sixth-round pick (2016).

How do you trade all of that for a guy who can't start day one?

because you don't have to start day 1 to be as successful qb?

 

[wire28]

No questions about his intelligence?

No inside reports on him not dedicating himself to learning the offense?

No articles wondering if the fast life of LA is too big of a distraction for the young man?

 

[I.V.]

Because there is no real different between a number 2 and a number 3 qb, he's a rookie, and they have stated that Case was the starter through the preseason.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Anybody ask him to switch positions?

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

What a disgrace. A moribund franchise if ever one exists due to decisions such as this.

Jared Goff and Carson Wentz don't even sound like real names brehs. It's as if a struggling black comic wanted to find the most stereotypically white names imaginable for a lame joke.
