I would have Goff above JG and also Watson, another player with a handful of starts. Watson may become a top-10 QB as soon as this year. I think he's going to be a star. But right now no.
I also put Goff ahead of Cam Newton. Newton is an offensive weapon (1,100+ rushing yards the past two seasons) but as a pure QB/passer I think Goff is better. Newton's QB rating his past 30 starts is 78.2.
He's a slow developer plus his top skills are pretty subtle, considering.
He also had the terrible rookie year which I personally took as mostly being about him coming out of an Air Raid variant offense. For most of history, Air Raid qbs were universally NFL busts. More recently, some have made it, but they all developed slow (unless like Foles they played in a version of the spread in the pros, but once he left that he was back to developing slow).
He needs to perform well in the post-season, IMO, before most evaluators take him off probation.
