I do take some exception to the fact that we are all supposed to accept the fact that Goff should not be ready at this point.
One of the supposed advantages of taking Goff over Wentz was that Goff played vs. better competition and therefore would be more "Pro-Ready". .
Some people did focus on that argument. That Goff was more ready than Wentz.
However that's a comparative. Being more ready than Wentz does not mean you're ready. Just more ready than Wentz.
BTW I myself did not focus on that argument. I like both Wentz and Goff and would have been fine with either, but I also accepted the argument that they were just completely different players.
I would say if you look at the qb as a pure passer, Goff has it over Wentz in every single way. He processed faster, he decided faster, he threw a quicker ball and made more throws where it took both accuracy and touch. So I had no issue when they took Goff.
These are extremes and not really accurate or fair but as GENERAL comparison, to me it was McNair v. Brady. I could see taking either but the Brady advantage is being a better pure passer combined with having a better "processing mind" for the passing game.
So it wasn't just "readiness."
And Wentz was so unready he did not even make it to a competition...injury aside, he was going to be the 3rd all year.
