I am genuinely perplexed by this "development" idea on Goff. Can someone point out why this season he seems more "developed" than in previous seasons??

Statistically, he is basically doing the exact same thing he has done his entire NFL career.

and we have a winner^

I think they are just trying to make it into a feel good story, discarded QB goes to terrible team and has some success, makes for a nice story.

and for those that say stats don't tell the entire story, check out his PFF grade (which is an eye test btw).

The fact that $25M for a QB is a bargain still seems insane, but you are 100% correct in terms of market value.

Just a few years ago we were grimacing at the idea that Cam might cost us over $20m--I think, however, after the Russell Wilsons and the Matt Staffords put teams in financial ruin for a half decade or more, teams will reconsider giving one player 25% of the cap.

I don't think enough people are talking about what a colossal flop the Raiders pulled off.  I have to admit I thought it was another example of how rigged the NFL has become but nobody is that good at being bad.  Josh McDaniels gets a lot of the blame, of course.  But what was their DC doing calling man defense on that TD play?  Did you see the number of stupid penalties called on the Raiders?  For coaching to work the players have to buy in and they have not done it with McDaniels.

They have done it with Wilkes.  "The answer is on the roster".  Bring in a OC like Reich and roll with it.  If you don't go into next season with Wilkes it is a total tear down or nothing.  No way should we enter next season with Wilkes being demoted to DC.  He deserves better and the chemistry with any new HC (and current players) would be toxic.

Goff was playing better than Stafford before he was hurt.

But setting Stafford aside, the fact that Goff is playing well at all given his history is a testament to the power of coaching.

Stafford has been hurt since the offseason, then he got placed behind a pretty bad offensive line and zero running game. Goff is healthy behind a good o line with some support in the running game. He's been not great against above average defenses.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
