Cal QB Jared Goff cites Hue Jackson as reason he can turn Browns around

INDIANAPOLIS -- Cal quarterback Jared Goff cited Browns coach Hue Jackson as the reason he could change the narrative in win-starved Cleveland if the Browns draft him No. 2 overall.
"It starts with coach Jackson,'' Goff said during his podium interview Thursday at the NFL Combine. "He's a great coach, and that if he ends up choosing me or whatever quarterback he ends up choosing, he's going to be able to make the guy successful. He's a great coach, a great offensive mind and a great quarterback guy.''
Goff has heard great things about Jackson, a former Cal assistant, from some folks in Berkeley, and from their mutual good friend and Cal alum Michael Silver, an NFL Network analyst. Goff will spend time with Jackson here at the combine.

I'd be happy with either, though still prefer Goff based on the brain and anticipation/quick release. Someone said Goff was the only one to make throws before guys made their breaks - and was on point doing so, pretty good with a bunch of receivers you have no chemistry with.

Any questions about how smart this kid is?

I'd be happy with either, though still prefer Goff based on the brain and anticipation/quick release. Someone said Goff was the only one to make throws before guys made their breaks - and was on point doing so, pretty good with a bunch of receivers you have no chemistry with.

I watched Wentz anticipate the breaks on long outs to the right pretty well yesterday and all were on target. I did not get to see Goff but assume he did the same.
-
If I'm not mixing this up here, Goff's footwork for a guy that never got up under center looked as smooth and efficient as if it's all he's been doing all this time. This kid made everything look easy.
-
I think Goff and Wentz are two winners, and no team will pay the price
to move up to pick one or the other.
Goff showed a good bit more arm strength than I thought, from questions about it.
In a few years, Lynch could be right up there with them - a winner. We'll see.
It would seem that with the AFC north, Wentz is the obvious choice.
But Peyton Manning was a skinny kid, too. I'll be cheering the pick of either one.
Don't make a bet on the Browns not drafting a qb at 2, you'll lose the bet.

Peyton also could have had some help from a pharmacist to bulk up if rumors hold true.

Funny you should say that as I just finished reading this:
QB insights are never-ending at the combine
Every year, these interviews invariably produce a handful of nuggets related to quarterback selection and development that shine a light on how specific teams and coaches think about the position at large. Bruce Arians got several questions about how to groom a young quarterback, and just about every bit of the answer was worth noting.
Arians said that in evaluating quarterbacks, he tends to focus less on the arm strength, mechanics and several other factors that scouts and experts tend to obsess over this time of year. “To me, the quarterback position is just about one thing: that’s processing information really fast,” Arians says. “If you can process it, I don’t care how weak your arm is or how strong your arm is, you’ll get the ball to the receiver at the right spot, the right time. If you can’t process the information and you’re going to wait to see him open, you’re going to throw a lot of interceptions.”

Lynch was the "never" guy, but I believe Goff was a close second.
What got me is in the footage for this discussion the only prospect whose footwork drill was shown was Goff.

Not every single box... As you yourself said, "Goff throws with anticipation. It's his greatest asset." Are you now saying Wentz checks that box??? the big boy box???
For me there is simply not enough difference in their ceilings to justify risking the difference between their floors. And when I say that, I do not concede that Wentz's ceiling is higher.
"Likely franchise" QB? I see franchise grade as a lock with Goff... that's his floor.
As for the whole "perfection" bit... that was with a nod and a wink... but it never hurts to be closer to it...
Right. However, anticipation comes with trust and trust comes with time. Wentz can very easily learn to throw with anticipation as he progresses...I anticipate that he will.
I look at it the Dave Gettleman (formerly Bill Polian) way - I'm not drafting you for who you are now. I'm drafting you for who you are two years from now.
So in two years you've got a 6'6", 245 lb. athletic QB with a very live arm who throws with anticipation and is a legitimate threat in every zone of the game, including running...and you've got a 6'4" 220 lb. technician who has an above average, not great, arm and above average, not great, athleticism who throws with anticipation and is a legitimate threat through the air, not so much on the ground. In two years you have a Ben Roethlisberger and a Matt Ryan.
It's really six of one, half dozen of the other.
Browns fans are so wary of taking a traits guy because of the likes of Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden and Johnny Manziel that they are basically looking a gift horse in the mouth here. Either way, we're likely getting a good QB, better than anything we've seen in 20 years in Cleveland. It's a matter of preference of the style of QB you'd like plus what you want the game plan to be for the next two years.

This.
Get one of these guys. Some may fear the culture shock of having a real franchise guy under center, but I say let's take a crack at it.
-
The one thing that stood out to me on Goff is the fact that he kept his eyes straight downfield during the throwing drills until it was time for him to throw. This showed me he would not stare down his receivers during a pass. I know it was only a drill but if he does it during drills than I am pretty sure he will do the same during season games.

Tour, I think it was in the 7 step drop drill where it was mentioned about Goff not being up under center throughout college.

To me - Goff looks far superior to Wentz.
He has better mechanics, better footwork, a better release, and his progressions are beautiful.
Wentz has the size, arm, and athleticism.
I take Goff and call it a day but that's just me
-
I've said it before, but to put a word on it Goff just looks cerebral out there and everything is easy for him.
