It's funny you would call the SF game "stat-padding." Sounds like a bias. The opposite would be to dismiss the Chicago game.

Objectively, THIS is Kyle Boller. From 2009, his year with the Rams.

98/176 (55.68%) 5.11 YPA, 3 TD, 6 INT, 61.2 qb rating---including no games higher than 75.2.

The difference? Realistically and objectively, no bias, this is a crucial difference:

In 2009, Boller was consistently bad. His qb rating is a true average. His highest games are 75.2, 70.5, and 67.5. His lows were 39.6 and 44.9.

Post-bye in 2018, Goff was up and down. In terms of qb rating, his highs were 121.6, 118.1, and 83.0--the "83" coming in an overtime win in an on-the-road NFC championship game. The lows were 19.1, 57.9, and 68.6.

So watch who you call "Kyle Boller."

Goff was up and down since the bye and since the bye the team went 5-3.

Discussing qbs, nuance IMO is always better than black-n-white declarations. The details in this case do not lend themselves to the conclusion that Goff is on a downward trend. Rather the evidence shows 2 things. One is, he became much more inconsistent (like or not that's not identical to a "downward trend." ) Second is, it was not him alone--all his poorest efforts in that batch of inconsistent games coincided with the OL having problems too.
