I really need to watch Better Call Saul from the beginning again and maybe Breaking Bad. I still get confused on how Gus and the Salamancas are intertwined.
People seem to equate his lack of completing passes downfield and propensity to check down as lacking arm strength. He's only 27 and was launching the ball 50+ yards down the field earlier in his career. I'm not buying he can still throw deep at his age and I'm unaware of any serious career altering injury he had that prevents him from throwing deep.
FWIW, I think he can throw it downfield as far as Stafford can. Stafford's arm strength really shined on his ability to throw it on a line between defenders. Goff doesn't have that kind of arm strength but he can hit a Williams behind the defense deep downfield.
Do people forget that the Texans were 4-12 in Watson's last season with a roster that was probably no worse than the Lions roster? Have we not learned from the Stafford era that you can't just throw a QB on the team and except them to carry an inferior roster?
I don't think his issue was lack of arm strength. Besides, Drew Brees made a nice career for himself without elite arm strength coming off a shoulder injury.
I also don't think in 5 years the same guy who was able to throw 55 yards in the air suddenly can't even throw it 20 yards in the air at age 27 without any serious arm injury.
I think the NFL is going to go to more of these hybrid LB/S. This may be a sleeper pick. At the very least, should be a good special team's contributer.
It wasn't meant as a solution but I genuinely think they would punish women for traveling to Illinois to get contraception like an abortion pill. They will probably treat it the same way as trafficking drugs across state lines. I only use Illinois because that's the only blue state that borders Missouri.
Even if kids were able to just spontaneously turn gay or choose to be a different gender, I do not see the issue? Aren't the Republicans suppose to be about personal liberty?
I keep thinking back to that great QB class of 2018. Four QB's taken in the top 10. Only four years later and only one of them will remain with the team that drafted him.
Stafford also regressed at the same age as Goff. I find it hard to believe the QB Goff was in 2017 and 2018 is completely gone forever. He showed signs at the end of last year with a new coordinator and anything resembling a deep threat in Reynolds. I'm not going all in on a new QB yet. It's like we learned nothing from the Stafford era.
I'm old enough to remember when you wanted Goff over Stafford. If one of the top QBs are available to the Lions without having to trade multiple picks, then I would do it. If not, I roll with Goff again and continue to build the roster.
