Not to give Goff a pass (pun intended) as he was pretty awful, but which top performing QB's have great games when under constant pressure with a running game going nowhere?
Isn't that how you stop all QB's - like the Giants did to Brady and the Broncos did to Newton in the super bowls.
Not exactly rocket science
Top 2 ranked O-lines in the league are New Orleans and Pittsburgh. Their QB's tend to do pretty ok, wouldn't you say?
The constant pressure is why I place the lions share the blame for the loss on the OL. Not McVay, not Goff.
They got whooped. Period. McVay said we saw a lot of stuff that we're unaccustomed to seeing from our players. Most of that was a team wide inability to block worth sh&#, including WRs and TEs missing blocks they normally make.
But despite the poor blocking Goff was horrible. I give him a pass on the constant pressure times which was much of the time but even when there was no pressure, he performed badly.
My biggest concern with him was the fluttering balls, bad decisions, and inaccuracy when he did have time to throw.
All QBs do worse under pressure but the elite ones still perform at a high level despite pressure. Brady has had entire years where he has had little running game but still performed pretty well under pressure.
Goff only gets slightly more of a pass than the OL IMO.
