You are winning by 4 points in the 4th quarter and the Eagles don’t have Wentz, you are the QB and you just need to NOT lose the game to Nick Foles.
So what do you do? You turn the ball over at the worst possible time. A clutch player doesn’t do that, I don’t care what the coach does to make your job riskier.
Goff is not ready for prime time yet.
The big question is will Goff ever be special or will he just be another Andy Dalton. The jury is still out on him.
I know it’s very early, but I believe you show those clutch traits early and Goff was not noted for being great in big moments in college. That was one of the knocks on him by his detractors going into the draft.
There is plenty of blame to go around at the end of this game. The play calling was not good, the time management was poor, the defense couldn’t get a stop against Foles. But it was blatantly obvious that Goff did not play big in a big moment, he failed.
