Notes: Can Jared Goff make throws beyond the play design?

Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson had Seth Galina on the PFF NFL Podcast for a “Scheme and quarterback deep dive” looking at quarterbacking in general and then some specific players. Most of the first half-hour of the podcast was a nice summary of elements of quarterback play and evolving trends in the league, but then we get to the 40-minute mark. That’s where the discussion turns to the move of Matthew Stafford from the Lions to the Rams.

While it’s sort of interesting to hear what Monson and Galina think of the notion that Stafford was only overlooked and rated lower in the past because he played in Detroit, what’s more interesting is Galina’s thoughts on why Sean McVay wanted to change from Goff to Stafford at quarterback.
