Getting intense pressure on seven of ten drops.
Anticipating pressure on all ten.

Look, RFIP ... here's the difference between me and you and ol' 9er8er.
IF Goff gets the coaching he not only needs but deserves ... IF he gets the upgrades in talent around him, on the offensive line and with that wholly overmatched group of receivers ... IF he gets those things and is still not producing the way a number one overall should ... then if fate allows me to ... I will say, 'I was wrong' about the kid.
I don't have anything of value at stake in this deal, Okay?
I don't have some sort of passive / aggressive "thing" going in relation to this kid versus somebody playing the same position for another team.
I'm not worried about my "reputation" as some great judge of football talent.
I'm not afraid of someone pulling some years-old post by me that "proves me wrong" about something.
I'm too old to care about nonsense like that.
I am trying to watch this kid is a way that avoids bias ... beyond the fact that I've been a fan of this team since 1971. And, maybe that is part of it. Maybe my long-standing, long-distance relatiosnhip with this team makes me "see" Goff through the proverbial rose-colored glasses.
I don't think so ... but I certainly allow for the possibility.
Another thing that, I'm guessing, makes my POV about this different from yours.
That is fair enough. My point is some QB's get drafted later and to better teams and guess what? THEY succeed! Others get drafted by crap teams with little help and get flushed through the system and labeled a bust.
MY observation of him thus far is his inaccuracy when NOT pressured. THAT is my immediate and most pressing concern of him to date.

Your last words to me: "Your a great guy RFIP. I was very sad when you left the board, and your son, but was glad to see you back. Take care my friend, may God be by your side." 09/09/2017 12:58AM
No Nelson, you were a far better man than I, and I am sure an awesome husband and father as well. I will miss you my friend. -RFIP
