i know alot of people get on bandwagons of players that are hot at the moment. I doubt 80% of the people on this guys jock have seen much of goff but are happy about the hype on a player. But theres a reason Goff was bad against the pac12. Because they know his tendencies. they know he was a bubble screen guy who had guys who could break it open after the catch. Just like these NFL teams are going to know his tendencies. The legit top QBs in drafts dont have these types of consecutive bad showings. But the likes of Geno Smith, EJ Manuel, had these types and they also had these type of climbs after the games were played. When teams makes choices like these theyre called desperate.
I've watched entire games of his against Texas, UCLA, Stanford, Arizona St. and Utah and I know you are making up nonsense because he actually performed very well on the road against a very good Stanford defense/overall team. He also lead a big time comeback against Arizona St., throwing for 500+ yards and 5 TD's. Are they in the PAC-12? He also performed reasonably well on the road against UCLA, another very good defense. They lost the Stanford and UCLA games in large part because Cal just does not have a very good team in general, especially against Stanford where each time they got close their defense or ST's gave up huge play after huge play.
Utah was clearly his worst game of the year but at least 2 of the INT's weren't his fault and he still made impressive throws, and nearly led them back to win at the end. Even still, you cherry pick that game like it's the first time a top 10 pick at QB had a terrible game.
Yea, he threw a bunch of bubble screens and passes within 5 yards of the LOS, but so did Derek Carr, so did Mariota. He also takes plenty of deep shots and shows great touch and accuracy on them. He shows the ability to go through progressions and the footwork to slide around in the pocket to buy time to get off throws, he doesn't have a rocket for an arm but it's definitely strong enough to make NFL throws. He broke Mariota's record for TD passes in a season. By all accounts he is a student of the game and wants to be great, although there is no way of knowing stuff like that for sure unless you have access to the player like the NFL teams do.
The guy has weaknesses, so does every QB coming out every year, but there's more than enough there to work with to mold him into a franchise QB given time to sit behind Romo. It's on the coaching staff to put a young QB with talent but a lack of experience into a position to succeed.
Your insistence on anything but a QB shows that you came into the process with a closed mind, probably because you haven't actually watched these guys or many of the other top prospects, and just want to cling on to the window we have with Romo and the hope of the very long shot that lightning strikes twice in terms of finding a franchise QB as a 6th/7th/UDFA.
And just so you know, I've watched plenty of Myles Jack too. I love him as a prospect but I find it comical that you are so gung-ho about a 4-3 LB who hasn't been uber productive despite showing awesome physical ability and is coming off a knee injury that cost him his junior season, as opposed to potentially solidifying our QB situation for 10+ years.
