“They’re both very accurate passers with good size,” one NFL executive said.
“Talent-wise, they’re very similar,” said another.
Here's how you want to frame this. It's not physical talent. It's 2 things.
1. When he develops, can Goff be more "clutch" than Ryan has been in big games and the playoffs?
2. That aside, how would Ryan look on a team with a good defense? Put him on last year's Broncos. Does Denver trip up and fail with Ryan? I doubt it.
So that's your measure. If Goff develops as expected and is more clutch than Ryan has been, then "looking like" Ryan as a physical talent is only one part of it.
And any comparisons with Ryan have to add in the fact that Ryan (with one exception maybe) has never had a season with a top or even very good defense. The Rams do promise to have that.
