In general. He has run good routes (on occasion) and he has been open (on occasion) but those things are proportionate to the expectations. I'd also go so far as to say that in my opinion those things have not even been the norm during games where he's not in the game plan early on.
and I have seen him open a lot and he runs good routes, crisp cuts and gets open deep. Sure there are times he's covered, but Kupp is covered some and Woods is covered some.
What I see happening is a young QB who is good and getting better is not able to see the full field and does not have confidence to take deeper shots. That's fine, he's been moving the ball, but when he does go deep to Watkins for every good pass there are several bad ones.
Goff has plenty of time, he does not have rushers in his face are coming from edges like past few years, he's just not quite to the point where he will take a shot to Watkins even when he's clearly open.
