I agree... that those games "overshadow a lot of things". And that applies to a lot of players and it happens pretty often, IMHO.
It seems to me that with Goff many see a lack, thus far, of a 'single shining moment' and thus set aside, or set on the back burner, the steady progress and consistent exhibitions of 'greatness' that I believe Goff executes often - - factors they 'allow', (take into consideration), for others; but for whatever reason seem to ignore with Goff.
Wentz, for example, is usually analyzed, (from what I've read), by his 'body of work' to a much greater extent, MUCH greater, than Goff is.
