not having won the 'big' game yet. No big deal.. he will.
But also there is this... this comes to mind mostly from a radio show I heard yesterday that asked the question of "If you had your choice of any QB who has come out of the last 3 drafts who would your top 10 be?".... actually I think it was top 5 BUT....
He added a 6th because that's where he placed Goff.
The not winning a big game yet? Sure.. I can see that. 6th choice of all QB's in the last 3 drafts? That one I struggle with.
Now I'm going to spit-ball... because I don't know WHY the above is common think in the media... although that 'system QB' designation I think NOT a flattering one. But also...
Appearance... and by that I mean... being physical. Wentz, Dak... their physicalness is apparent... not so much with Goff... UNLESS, you have truly watched him, like we have. Also, WHY is someone like Dak all that physical... and I proffer that it's because he can't read as well as Goff... nor make the throws Goff can make, IS physical and thus takes off too quickly. MEDIA sees that as an 'additional gift'.... whereas I think it's more a 'lack of other gifts'.
BTW.. Dak was chosen 5th, one ahead of Goff
I agree with all that.
He's too subtle in a lot of ways to give out a ton of "wow" highlights, and in a couple of national games, he hasn't been as effective as you'd like.
So, people haven't seen him and when they do they don't see what makes him the guy WE know.
