Suh-weet!
I think the phenomena you've identified is very real and fairly pervasive. Mind you, ZN is also right: I think the (relatively silent) people willing to change their opinion as new information comes in is the solid majority, but the outspoken minority are a force to be reckoned with.
I;m not saying that though.
First off I don't think there IS "an outspoken minority" who downgrade Goff. I don't think those who do downgrade Goff are a force or have to be reckoned with. I just think they will get a lot of attention on a Rams board cause we don't like to hear it. And that's it. Nothing more to it.
So speaking just for myself, personally I don't care if some guys make lists that put Goff lower than we would like. I assume that the play at the end of 2018 influenced that and they did not think much deeper than that. Doesn't matter...they will come around.
So I just don't buy the idea that some professional analysts who have pay equal attention to all 32 teams are sitting around fretting that they said Goff was a bust in 2016. I don't think they have enough emotional investment to give a hoot. When he plays better at the end of the year than he did in 2018, they will all see it, and it will be nothing for them to just say okay yeah look Goff is coming through. I also didn't divide it into some presumably outspoken ones (cause I don't think that's true) and then some silent ones. I was talking about all of them. They'll see it when it happens and acknowledge it---all of them.
