Ask 5: What's best NFL player comp for Cal QB Jared Goff?

[RS12]

Executive 1: Matt Ryan
"He's a pure, tall pocket passer. I liked (Sam) Bradford a little better coming out (of college), but he reminds me a lot of Matt Ryan."

Executive 2: Matt Ryan
"He has a tall, skinny frame and plays with a gunslinger mentality. He's not as reckless as Jay Cutler, but I do see a lot of similarities to Matt Ryanat Boston College."

Executive 3: Matt Ryan
"Everything that I find out about him background-wise reminds me of Matt Ryan. They're both very accurate passers with good size."

Executive 4: Matt Ryan
"He reminds me of Matt Ryan, but has much better arm strength. Watch his touchdown throw against Washington. It was a big-time throw."

Executive 5: Matt Ryan
"This might seem like it's out of left field because they come from totally different offenses, but (Goff) reminds me of Matt Ryan. Ryan was coming out of pro system at Boston College and Goff is in a pure spread system. Because of that, the transition will be a little tougher for Goff. Talent-wise, they're very similar."

so...apparently he's like Matt Ryan?

I haven't really watched him. Would be nice to hear from someone who watches him every week!

Unfortunately, unless we lose a lot of games we don't have a shot at him if he comes out at all.

I watch him every week. He reminds me of Matt Ryan.

Those comparisons might be spot on. Ryan had games like Goff did the other night with a bunch of INTs.

Even with that, he's still my top QB. He actually can read a defense and throw with anticipation. He doesn't have a cannon, but enough arm to make all the throws. Hopefully teams get scared off by this game(though I doubt it) and he drops.

I haven't really seen either one play much. What are the differences between Goff and Wentz's games?
