Well ... early results sure seem to indicate that the addition of those two things ... not to mention some rock-solid play by a formerly much maligned offensive line ... have made it clear Goff may well be on his way to becoming a top-notch pro. Maybe even ... dare I say ... great.
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go yet. And there are going to be valleys.
