I heard he looked awful today, any truth to that?
I watched the first 2.5 quarters. I really thought he looked fine. I counted 5 dropped passes and a badly missed PI on Auburn that would have led to big yards and possibly TD's. His WR's have been terrible all year and his O-Line can't pass protect. They have a pretty solid defense, Lynch and 2 decent RB's and that's it.
The one 'bad' throw he made came on the INT where he threw it a little behind the WR. The WR never went after the ball though. I saw some major league throws like on one 3rd and 10 he zipped a ball from the far hashmark right on the money to the WR past the 1st down marker. Or on the defensive PI that wasn't called, nice little fade pass that was perfectly placed but the WR got interfered with (even the announcers said they couldn't believe that 2 refs were right there and didn't see it).
I think Goff is more polished if you need a guy to read the coverage, manipulate the safety and throw a seam route. But, Goff is far more talented and may have the talent to be more effective than Goff if needed to start right away because of his pure ability. I also like my QB's to have big hands because I still want them to be effective when it gets cold and rainy like it can when you're on the road in NY or Philly or in Maryland come November and December. Or when you're playing on the road in the playoffs. They were commenting on how large Lynch's hands were and it was cold and damp and he didn't seem to have any issues handling the football.
