... a quarterback simply can't throw a better ball than the one Goff threw to Gurley for the go-ahead catch-and-run.
Watch the replay. Hit 'pause' at the split second Goff begins ... begins ... to load up and start his throwing motion.
Gurley hasn't yet gotten to midfield ... and isn't yet *even* with the two defenders he ends up splitting. In fact, they still have *him* by a half-a-yard or so.
Goff is already seeing the progression ... the play ... 10-12 yards into the future. And he lays it in perfectly.
He's one of the best in the game, already, at throwing that seam route.
Total props to The Kid.
... but I'm not sure it's fully appreciated.
What do Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Ben R.... have in common, besides being the best QB's in the league? They've been in the same offensive systems for years, in most cases with the same offensive coordinators (or OC's who had been QB coach with the team) for years. Brady, of course, has been in the same offense since I was in diapers (metaphorically speaking).
Imagine if/when Goff has acquired the experience to master his offense AND read the defense? Keep the kid healthy and upright and It'll be a beautiful thing.
Shoot - already is!
