If you aren't impressed by Jimmy GaCRAPolo's performance in his seven starts, especially his last five, then I would dare to say you had a much worse opinion of Goff based on his first seven in 2016 with a record of.....0-7 and paltry, pedestrian numbers. Let me guess, ALL seven of those games were "meaningful" to the other teams and ALL were top notch defenses. Heck, they were probably ranked 1-7, weren't they?
Found this from another message board and credit is given to the original poster. I think he hit the nail right on the head.
"Maybe Jimmy G sucks and he never lives up to the hype, but get real. Stop trying to find reasons to discredit an astounding turnaround late in the year.
Cracks me up. He beats the Bears and everyone says "thats just one game and they suck". He beats the Texans and they say, "OK, but both those teams suck" even though earlier in the year they couldn't beat anyone no matter how bad they were. He beats the Titans and people say "Yeah, but the Titans aren't as good as their record. Wait till next week against the Jags. That'll be the real test". They put up 44 points and knock off the Jags and people say "Well the Jags just had an off day and they were in the playoffs anyway" even though they still needed the win for playoff positioning. They Beat the Rams soundly and people say "Yeah, but the Rams didn't play their starters" which is actually fair but they don't get to choose who the other team puts out there.
Point of all of this is that at some point you have to run out of "yeah buts".
Dude balled out. Its that simple."
