There hasn’t been a better QB then Goff the last half of the season. 19 TD 3 int in 8 games. No other QB is even close. He’s on a Hall of Fame Trajectory even if this is his ceiling. If he can keep this pace.
But is Goff’s Pace sustainable?
His numbers will rise and fall over the years but will be most affected by supporting cast in my opinion.
Mark my words, Goff will excel in this system as long as Snead and Mcvay get their Oline replenished and are able to build the depth.
We we’re beyond lucky this year to have all starting 5 lineman healthy all year, we need to plan to not expect that every year. We have one NFL caliber interior backup in Blythe and no NFL caliber backup tackles.
Goff has been excellent sensing pressure and flushing when needed but like Keenum and Wentz, Goff had an excellent Oline in front of him.
Does Goff need to develop his ability to throw on the run?
It would be nice but QB’s like Brady, Manning, Brees, Ryan, Marino etc show throwing on the run is not necessary.
How important are all pro WR’s?
Brady averaged 26 TD’s a year for 6 years until Randy Moss showed up, Suddendly Brady had 50 TD’s.
In an article written in 2016 Brady’s stats with and without Gronk were compiled and here is what it revealed:
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/12/pat...ski-not-good-ryan-fitzpatrick-went-to-harvard
Tom Brady stats without Gronk:
Comp%: 57.3
Yards/attempts: 6.5
Rating: 82.4
Compare those numbers to Ryan Fitzpatrick’s over the last five seasons:
Comp%: 60.5
Yards/attempts: 7.0
Rating: 84.4
Tom Brady’s stats when Gronk plays:
Comp%: 65.3
Yards/attempts: 7.9
Rating: 103.5
Basically Tom Brady without Gronk is Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Supporting cast can dramatically affect a QB.
