The thing is, no one can name the killer deficiency he has that wouldn't allow him to develop even if he struggles initially. What is it he presumably lacks?

My answer is---he lacks reps playing as a pro-trained qb. Meaning, as a qb trained to be a pro qb. He has not had that much time doing that. When he struggles it's because those things aren't 2nd nature yet so he is not clicking with it yet. He has the arm. He has the vision. He has the feet. He has the pocket sense. He has the mental toughness. He has the competitive juices. But watching him play is like listening to a band member who has been switched from sax to trumpet. I figure he WILL struggle at first.

It has been said by quite a few that Goff lacks spatial awareness. He can't "feel" when and where pressure is coming at him at times. That leads to the TOs. Is it one of those things that you either got or you haven't? I dunno. But some say yes, that its an inherent trait and if you don't have it, then it will always be a problem that prevents you from being a good QB.

I tend to be more conservative and guarded in these things, so I am going to assume that if he continues to have this problem then he's not going to grow out of it.
