Camp Goff
-
To quarterback controversyville.

lol...
I feel like Goff would take the job at some point in his rookie season. But I cannot say when.
Could he be ready Week 1? Yes... I think Goff is the most NFL ready QB in the 2016 draft so I think that is possible he could be ready Week 1. However, possible is not the same as probable or likely. And because thanks to McCown our new QB's debut does not have to be Week 1, I would err towards conservatism.
At least let me see a schedule, if not some pre-season work.

Kid believes in himself...
I did not know Hue had Cal roots so he'll get the inside "story".

Jared Goff excited about Browns possibly drafting him at No. 2; confident he's 'best QB in draft'

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cal quarterback Jared Goff, who's on the Browns' radar with their No. 2 pick in the draft, said recently he's the top quarterback of the 2016 class and that he'd be thrilled to land in Cleveland.
"I think my accuracy is as good as it gets at this level," Goff told Peter King of The Monday Morning Quarterback. "I think my pocket presence and my ability to extend plays speak for themselves. I'm confident I'll be the best quarterback in the draft."
King asked Goff about the specter of going to Cleveland, 'where quarterbacks go to die.'
But Goff (6-4, 215), who's already familiar with Browns coach Hue Jackson, the former Cal assistant in 1996, has no qualms about landing in Cleveland.
"I'm not worried about it," he said. "I'm excited about it. Whatever team I go to, I'll be excited to go. I want to be the future of a franchise. I think I can be a guy who can make an impact right away."
Goff's two biggest competitors for the No. 1 quarterback spot are North Dakota State's Carson Wentz and Memphis' Paxton Lynch. The three quarterbacks will be on display at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis beginning next week.
Jackson met with Wentz at the Senior Bowl three weeks ago and was impressed, and he chatted with Paxton Lynch at a Super Bowl party hosted by Lynch's agent, Leigh Steinberg the day before the game.
Jackson was tentatively scheduled to attend a Super Bowl party with Goff hosted by NFL Network's Mike Silver, a Cal alum and a mutual friend of the coach and quarterback. But Jackson got in a day later and wasn't able to catch up with Goff during Super Bowl festivities.
"I have never met Jared, but I'm sure that will happen at some point soon,'' Jackson told cleveland.com at the Super Bowl. "There are some things I've heard and some things that I know. Again, I coached at Cal, so I do know quite a few people that are still there and again the guy's been a sensational player at Cal. But just like all the rest of the guys in this process, we'll evaluate them all and see how it turns out.''
Lynch (6-7, 245), passed Jackson's muster as "the face of a franchise'' during their meeting at the party.
"He's tall,'' Jackson said. "He's a tall young man. He looks like Man Mountain Dean standing up there. But what a nice kid, a personable kid with great parents. He carries himself extremely well, as I expected that he would.''
Like Goff, Lynch isn't hurting for confidence heading into the pre-draft process. During Super Bowl week, he told nj.com that he compares himself to Super Bowl participant Cam Newton.
Goff and Lynch have already said they will throw at the Combine, and Wentz -- who dazzled scouts and coaches during three days of practices at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., will likely do so as well.
"That's the only time you're going to be around all those GMs and coaches," Lynch told 97.5 The Game in San Francisco. "They get to watch you throw head to head against the guys you're being compared to, so that's a good time to compete, in my opinion."
NFL Network's Mike Mayock recently ranked Wentz ahead of Goff and Lynch in his top five rankings at each position on nfl.com, but those rankings sometimes change after the Combine when coaches get their eyes on the prospects. But he still really likes the Cal signal-caller, despite the fact he played in a spread offense, which is sometimes hard to project.
"Jared Goff makes every throw,'' Mayock recently told the The College Draft podcast. "Everybody criticizes the system he's in, but if you really watch enough of his tape, you can find him scanning the field, doing full-field reads, climbing the pocket, making the correct reads and checkdown throws. I really like Jared Goff."
Goff, a junior, threw 43 touchdown passes against only 13 interceptions in 2015. Despite playing in the spread, scouts believe his skills will translate to the NFL.
And in time, he'll find out if the Browns agree he's the best in the draft.

Damn Hue, If we learned one thing from JM. Make sure you make it to the Right Party
!! God Please keep MKC away from any damn QB we draft.. MKC-"Hue why did you not show at Goff's SB Party" Hue-"Whether Delay". You know it's coming..

So how would you guys want to handle the starting QB situation next year if we took Goff? If you say start McCown, specify until when.

Until he gets injured as per usual haha.

So, first drive of the season?
Seriously though, I'd start McCown as long as he isn't directly costing us games, or until Goff shows he's unequivocally better than McCown and won't get destroyed.
-
If we have a new OL starter [draft a new C, resign the Schwartz], please don't start Goff game1. Unless something magical happens in the offseason, it's going to be a long year if Erving starts..

I'm a little concerned about the lack of progressions and not looking off defenders. That would keep him off the field until he improves those areas greatly in practice. Some learn quick and others have a hard time developing those habits, or revert to old ways under pressure.

I'm not because I've seen him do both... repeatedly.

Interesting. I wonder why the evaluator you cited had that as a problem.

Dunno... maybe a Manziel fan?
Seriously... I had in my notes "good eye discipline". And as he slide in the pocket he can be seen surveying the field.

Criticizing Goff has nothing to do with being a Manziel fan.
Manziel is gone, so how can having liked him have any affect on evaluating the potential future QB of the team?
That said, Wentz has a slight edge on Goff for me right now. More arm, more mobility.

Just keepin' it real Mike. The 26? name qb jersey has taught me to be cautious. That said, Wentz is obviously superior physically, but Goff having a relatively small frame & lesser arm shouldn't be a non-starter. I suppose the same could be said about Lynch being a system quarterback. Shades of Dave Klingler.
I like to think Hue knows what a potential upper level NFL quarterback looks like, & I'm sure the analytics guys will watch every snap Goff, Wentz, and Lynch took. As well as work them out. I do like Goff's comment he's going to do everything- including throw- at the combine.
I don't care who they pick, just pick the right guy for a change. Haven't heard about off field red flags about any of the top 3 qbs. Heard Wentz is a huntin' & fishin' kind of guy. (Just don't shoot yourself in the leg like Plaxico) Goff's Cal coach praised him as being super high character.
There was a report somewhere after the senior bowl that said Goff is the only prospect with 0 off field concerns.
The main things I like about him are the mental aspects - brain, vision, pocket awareness. The physical tools are good enough though. They were also saying Wentz had less velocity than Goff despite having a bigger arm.

i like the 0 off field concerns...the physical tools right now are not great enough though...playing in the nfc north in the cold will wear you down...he needs to put on more weight which in my opinion won't be tooooo difficult...should be fun. lots of pizza shakes fries pancakes etc...shoud not be difficult at all..

He needs to add functional and core strength. His arm needs work.

Lighten up, Mike... just joking about JM. The winky face was a clue.

Okay... just wondering, Emdig.
Where would you have put rapistbooger ?
oh well, maybe the Browns won't draft their qb at #2 now.
So confusing, more confused because Emdig knows his stuff.
dammit.

The only person who is giving him a 3rd round grade.....
