Combine interviews: Goff vs. Wentz

sdballis

Don't know if this deserves its own thread or if it can be moved to the "Camp Goff/Wentz" threads. Up to you, mods.

"Sources with the Cleveland Browns say Jared Goff's interview was poor. He was very nervous. On Carson Wentz they say 'Stud. Absolute Stud.'" - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com

I know "everyone" loved Goff's on-field work and Wentz was certainly up there with him, but Goff is pretty locked in as the best prospect at this point. Does a great interview sway our FO to take Wentz or do you stick with the on-field performance and go with Goff?

"Sources" scare the hell outta me. I think we all know how many times those reports have been proven to be inaccurate.

I'll wait for the official word from the Browns, which I expect on April 28th.

Charlie must have a hot line to Mary Kay Cabot.

baloney.

I'm slightly hesitant of anyone not feeling some nerves. The young man is in the middle of the biggest interviews of his life.

More than that... if there is any truth to this, then, as I have said in the past, our FO now led by Sashi has to ferret out these "sources" and show them the door.

Nothing.... abso-fucking-lutely nothing should be seeping out the the FO that is not full on, smoke-and-mirrors bullshit...

From reading (won't bore you with the sources) Goff is looking like the real deal.

Confirmation bias is a scary thing

I agree with Tour, no accurate reports should be coming out of Berea leading up to draft day - only smoke and mirrors.

"the Leicester City Foxes" - lol. Cute.

Also I've never heard soccer described as a 'communist sport' - that's american sports, with their emphasis on parity, and salary cap.

No, soccer may not be a commie sport......just a Eurofag sport.

Yeah, they're always doing "headers" or some such.

I would've gone with trying to "nutmeg" each other.

I don't think that Wentz's apparent "lack" of nerves is a bad thing just as much as I don't believe that Goff's "poor" interview is a bad thing.

Goff comes off a slight bit cocky and sure of himself - there is nothing wrong with that. It's a needed attribute to a certain extent.

Wentz comes off as confident and collected - there is nothing wrong with that. It's a needed attribute to a certain extent.

I'm honestly comfortable with either one of these guys. Goff has that Tom Brady-like west coast swagger, while Wentz has that down-to-earth midwestern likability.

Tour2ma

Don't disagree, but wasn't until a reddit thread that I realized Goff is 2 years younger than Wentz. Helped explain/explain away the poise gap that I think was evident when each had a mic shoved in his face.

... which apparently gives rise to their own concussion/head trauma issues...

gftChris

Yep, there's some concussion stuff going on these days. Also, it's not uncommon to see someone trying to head the ball while someone is trying to kick it. That doesn't end well. You should see some of the noses of former defensive players

Man, English men are just ugly. And I say that with a Costanza-like unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality.
