Watch: Colin Cowherd Goes Overboard With Wild Tom Brady-Jared Goff Comparison

The Los Angeles Rams lost on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. But, it seems like quarterback Jared Goff was doing his job. Can you compare him to Tom Brady?

“Jared Goff, at the end of that game was excellent… He looked like Tom Brady in a playoff game,” Colin Cowherd says.

Well, we can’t really agree with him on this one. According to Yahoo Sports’ Frank Schwab, he needs to get better.

“The Rams could have played the Goff situation differently. They could have traded Goff for a bounty of picks and let Sean McVay develop a new, young, cheap quarterback. It would have been radical and unlike anything any other team had ever done, but they could have noted that the biggest advantage in the NFL is a good quarterback on his rookie deal and acted accordingly. Then they could have used the $33.5 million per season they’re giving Goff on the rest of the roster.

“But NFL teams don’t operate that way. Even teams that make otherwise shrewd decisions fear the unknown at quarterback. The Rams are paying Goff twice as much per year as the Houston Texans pay J.J. Watt. That doesn’t seem like a wise investment.

“It’s also true that 12 games don’t define Goff’s career. He was good for most of last season and played well in an NFC championship game win. He’s still just 24, plays on a talented offense with a good coach, and wouldn’t be the first young player to have a slump. Perhaps over the rest of this season Goff will play like an MVP candidate and his contract will look well worth it to the Rams. But as the Rams head into Seattle for a huge early season game, they need better play out of their quarterback. They need him to play like one of the NFL’s best. That kind of pressure comes with those nine-figure deals.”
