We mortgaged a good chunk of our future on Goff.
But then, that's the point: the FUTURE!
The test of the Goff move is not now. It just isn't. You can't draft a demonstrably talent QB bred in a simplistic, non-NFL-style offense and expect him to change the 1st season. You can hope for it. But you can't count on it.
And Fisher has not done so. He has been very consistent about being committed to bringing Goff along slowly. Clearly, he DOES NOT feel that the move to get him has to be redeemed by an immediate starting gig.
Look. I am a long time critic of Fisher. I think he is very much less of a coach than his reputation suggests.
But this current leaping to judgment on Goff and using THAT as a reason to condemn this season is, to me, irrational. It just does not make sense to me.
Now, Goff may or may not become a bust. We may or may not realize that we paid too much for him. But that will be decided in THE FUTURE! Now in the next month or even this season.
