And the thing I think he's going to have to learn in the NFL, he's going to have to learn how to be a lot tougher in the pocket.
Cause that's not all that gets said

COSELL: He's going to have to learn how to be a lot tougher in the pocket.
COWHERD: You mentioned toughness. I don't think you can teach it. I'm not tough. What you say is what I always felt. I did not have the physical confidence to want to be hit. We all see those kids at 5 or 6 years old. They have brothers and want to wrestle with dad. Then we have finesse kids. I think you can teach virtually anything. Tough is innate.
COSELL: Yeah. It's very hard to teach a quarterback to stand in the pocket and the term we use sometimes is look down the gun barrel. You have to be able to stand there knowing you're going to get hit or at the least be able to throw when there's a lot of people around you.
As I see it there, Cowherd expands on what Cosell said, and Cosell then agrees with him.
If Cosell was actually saying something different from Cowherd, he probably should have taken the opportunity to correct him. And maybe all that happened is that Cosell didn't correct Cowherd, but it looks to me like he agrees with Cowherd.
If he does agree with Cowherd, Cosell's talking not JUST talking about letting plays develop, but also the kind of
innate toughness that allows you to do that. If it's innate you have it or you don't. Cowherd, anyway, takes Cosell as saying Goff doesn't have it.
So IMO that's why there's a difference of opinion on even what Cosell said.
