Sean McVay: Jared Goff has improved; We’ll let best player play

[Rambunctious]

Oh Ooooo should we be worried that Goff still isn't getting it?
Sean McVay: Jared Goff has improved; We’ll let best player play

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

we won't know anything until the real games begin. alot of players look good in shorts and shirts or even preseason, but then when it really matters, they either disappear or are just plain awful.

I do like the fact that he is willing to play BPA unlike Fisher who played "his guys" regardless of the results.

I think the question comes down to, if Goff does struggle, how long before McVay subs in Mannion? 2 games? 3? 4? half the season? I guess only time will tell.

let's just hope it doesn't come to that and Goff proves he can be a franchise QB. his rookie season mirrors Eli's. let's hope Jared has similar results.

Yeah lets hope so. It just struck me that once again a head coach will not come out and say Goff is the real deal and he was the number one pick for a good reason. Instead we basically get the job is up for grabs. Kind of scary. But you are right it's early and we won't know anything till game day.

This isn't encouraging at all. We can hope for the best that both are just practicing very well, blurring the lines, but that isn't the most likely scenario. Maybe they better keep Kaep's number by the phone...

Go Sean Mannion! This is your chance to take this team to the Promise Land!

No thank you.

I was all for it prior to the Flag BS of his. He can take his headlines somewhere else!

Sad that his concern over police brutality involving minorities has been somehow changed into hatred for the military and the flag. Talk about fake news...

I don't think it has changed into hated for the Military and the Flag, nor do most IMO.

It does beg the question with matters of great importance, like abuse of power in our Nation, to what ends justify the means?

Where is the line?

It's a lot easier when the lines are not blurred, as with obvious terrorist attempts in the name of whatever the cause.

We live with our convictions though, and I applaud most who employ lawful attempts such as this to make a difference with the injustices of the World, and somberly there are too many, way too many, but I applaud it because it usually comes with a cost, and this is no different for Kaep as he struggles to find a backup role in the NFL.

With that however I cannot discount Kaep's coarse disregard for a symbol that has such a deep and ubiquitous meaning to so many in this Nation that he has prospered in a large degree. His actions, in the name of his cause are careless at best and with that, Kaep is not someone who I would want as the face of our Organization.

It's as simple as that.

Maybe not Kaep but you make a good point.

That is the over-reaction (IMO) and misdirection that cripples the original message. Everyone is entitled to their own reaction of course, but I think that reaction is ignoring the intent, as Kaep comes from a military family. His choice of method is flawed as a result, but it's clear that it did raise the issue into a portion of the populace that didn't want to acknowledge it existed.

 

[shopson67]

Maybe not Kaep but you make a good point.

Kaep wouldn't necessarily be my first choice to run a McVay offense either, but he is the most talented vet currently available.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

If Goff doesn't progress, I would rather see what Mannion can do instead of throwing in a vet like Kaep.

Go Sean Mannion! This is your chance to take this team to the Promise Land!

seeing how you boyz like Goff and all..we at the Viking Organization would like to offer the Ram Franchise an offer of a lifetime..let's say we toss in a 1st rounder of like trade, paid salary for time rostered and a future draft pick to be disclosed at a latter date for your QB Sean Mannion (clip board carrier) currently rostered?


let tie this deal in a bow knot tonite over dinner and have your girl fax mine tomorrow, ok?

The original message was lazy, ill thought out and now the message is crying foul about the apparent costs of those actions. He has been very ignorant in: his initial approach to deliver his message; about those he has allied with to further his message; and about the ramifications of his message.

Either way shops, do you really think his actions have raised the consciousness of those prior who were unwilling to acknowledge the social injustice he is championing? My guess, his actions have pitted more of those type of folks against his cause, than those he has turned into sympathizers for his cause.

I can separate politics and social concerns from football and I expect the league the teams and the players to do so as well. If I want politics I know where to find it, when I turn on the NFL I want to watch football period. I didn't like it when some Rams players displayed hands up don't shoot on the field and I don't like to watch a player refuse to show respect for our nations flag. If the NFL becomes a billboard for all of the nations ills, that is when I will turn it off for good.

Jared Goff is in control.

Ya' gotta love McVay's attitude and approach!

McVay reminds me of a younger version of both Chuck Knox/Dick Vermeil. Knox liked the run and tough D. Vermeil turned Mad Mike loose and favored the run and pass and liked a tough D. McVay seems to have many of the same traits as those two legendary coaches and we may see the same timeline results with McVay and his stellar staff. In just two short years, the Rams may be returning to its glory days. The Rams legends seem to like him a lot and people like ED, Harrah, Ferragamo, and others also agree!
