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.
Well put. And here's a case in point. This is from from
Top 100 players in the NFL, as voted on by CBSSports.com experts: [

(Fwiw btw they also rank Donald #1).

87. Jared Goff, QB, Rams
If we’d voted on the Top 100 after Week 12 of last season, Goff would have ranked a whole lot higher. At that time he had completed 68 percent of his passes at 9.3 yards per attempt, while throwing 26 touchdowns against just six interceptions. But he and the Rams’ offense took a step backward over the final third of the season, and so he lands toward the back end of this list. The ceiling is still extremely high for Goff, though, given the talent around him and the man calling the plays.
He's young enough so that there's nothing to balance out that perception. I assume that eventually that will break and JG will have a significant game that alters the perception. But for now we're probably mostly just doomed to grin and bear it.
