People gotta be careful not to get brainwashed by the media who are quick to label guys without looking at context.
Goff's youth, college system, and coaching changes have all been underplayed by the media critics.
Plus he has gone through the same trajectory before.
Awful freshman year, leading to eventual emergence as a leader and top performer. Been through that already at Cal.
And very reassuring as we see Goff overcome the tough ride he had last year.
His laid back Cali appearance is deceptive. At first blush, when you look at him physically with his narrow frame and boyish looks, Goff often gets a soft label, as Sherman and the Hawks gave him last year. But the kid has taken hard shots from big time players since his freshman year at Cal. And he gets up and doesn't get negatviely affected by it.
I think Waldman made the point that Goff got hit and turned the ball over for the 3rd time late in the game, and yet the next time he got the ball he drove them down the field with 3 great throws under pressure with 1:07 left in the game. The kid is resilient and mentally tough.
