<![CDATA[Ray Farmer Attends Stanford vs Cal Game]]>Bleacher Report is reporting Ray Farmer over the weekend was scouting Cal's QB Jared Goff. I haven't seen any of his games. Is he any good? Well we now know they shopping for a franchise QB.

Hope Farmer scouts Wide Receivers too while he's traveling.

Only pause is arm strength which looks good, but not great.

The best part was the look on Hogan's face wondering who the dumbass was that burned their final time out with 6 seconds left.

He sure looked tough coming back against ND last night. Nice touch on long passes. I can certainly see why Ray might have wanted a closer look

And Cal's Goff looked good in the comeback win over Arizona St. last nigh.

Stanford's Kevin Hogan....

I wouldn't count him out. He's everything I'd look for in a qb

for the Browns. We'll see how JM fares in rest of the season.

I still think JM is too short to be a consistent miracle worker.

Yea, I am surprised. I though Rodger the Dodger was like 6'0"

So, which Hobbit if Johnny?

I've no doubt he was QB hunting. As early as we may be picking, if there's a #1 out there, he'd better find that out. Add that he got face time with his West Coast scouts... pretty worthwhile trip.

Meanwhile should JM prove out over the rest of the season... great! But the time to see the Stanford/Cal blend of talent was this past Saturday... and more Saturdays are coming.

Keep hitting the road, Ray.

You're...just you.

I'd draft a qb like Hogan in the second?

Of course, it's ridiculously early...

and draft a wr and Elliot in the first round.

Then, I'd find some lb's.

These guys now maybe short but have far fewer dropped passes. Not perfect but better.

My question is why he chose Cal/Stanford over MSU/OSU

Possible they have already put more homework in on those two teams and as Tour said, Farmer wanted some time with the West Coast scouting team.

Agree with that. Taller WRs tend to have larger catch radii plus the bulk and strength to fight for passes. That benefits any QB.

First thing a QB does is read the coverage. How do taller WRs help him do that?

Lynch would be the only kid i'd be mildly intrigued with but not in the top 3 where we're gonna pick. There is no QB in this class worth that pick, they all need development which is something that doesn't work in Cleveland. It just doesn't. We all know it too. We need a couple years of O line rebuilding before i'm ok with drafting a kid high.

I know we need wide receivers. We all know! We all realize he passed on some terrific talent in the last two drafts. To keep his job, he's going to have to improve the defense, receiving corp, and Oline. He had plenty of opportunities but said no in 2014. Look around the league at teams trending up, then look at who they drafted.

I can hear Farmer right now: "Hey you interested in Cleveland kid? Tell you what, we have the 31st ranked running game and we don't believe in drafting NFL caliber WRs. It'll be a real nice opportunity to prove you're special. Even better, we'll also give you the support of a 32nd ranked defense."

Okay, but why would you already need to draft another first round QB this quickly Mr Farmer? Are you going to summarize my entire career ahead off my first 4 starts when I'm just 22 years old too? Stanford equips me to succeed and I kind of like that. What have you done for your QBs in Cleveland since you got there? I see a lot of 3rd and long situations with tiny Receivers while I'm used to throwing to big targets here.

Morale of the story, be careful what you wish for with NFL body by Dumb and Dumber.

That IS an impressive sales pitch, isn't it? LOL

He goes to Cal, not Stanford. Still a smart school.

Nevertheless, the one game I saw Goff play.....against Utah.....he didn't look so hot.
