We don't need Goff to be a Hall of Fame productive QB this season to win some games and show that this thing is on the upswing. We need him to get into that midrange group where we can see him leading and running this offense and raising the point total a bit along with better points allowed by the defense.
Dak can go on to win MVP for all I care. The fact he's ahead means nothing to me. I just want to see Jared demonstrate that he's the guy who is going to ascend, so if that looks like a less-than-Dak step so be it.
I'm determined not to let either expectations or talking heads (even if they are established GMs I respect) ruin what will hopefully be my enjoyment of watching a great young QB start his career.
