Goff Was the Right Choice

Coaches and scouts get weak in the knees when they watch a QB with a big arm.  Wentz has all the physical attributes, and a gun that could shoot down incoming aircraft.  Wentz has some accuracy issues in the intermediate range,  some anticipation issues, and is still learning to go through his progressions.  If he cleans that up he could be great.

But there is no guarantee.  He could be the next Jeff George.  For those who don't remember him, George may have had one of the best arms ever.  He could stand flat footed and throw the ball 60 yards on a rope.  After being drafted number 1, he drifted from team to team, with each new coach dazzled by the big arm.  Wentz is a big risk.

The most common factors among top quarterbacks are accuracy, anticipation and pocket presence.  Those are Goff's strengths.  He can move better than Brady, and has a stronger arm than Peyton in his prime.   Goff is the choice.  As an added plus, his small hands should not be an issue in sunny LA.
