Jared Goff's NFL story needs more time to be written, just as John Elway's didA quarterback selected No. 1 overall in the draft was in his fourth NFL season when he led his team to a division title, became a Pro Bowler and directed an overtime drive to win the conference championship … only to lose his first Super Bowl.
Talking about Jared Goff, right?
Nope. The above description fits Hall of Fame QB John Elway. Goff has all of the same elements coming out of Super Bowl 53, except he did it in his third season, one year earlier than Elway.
The Elway comparison is interesting as the Goff bashing continues in the aftermath of his underwhelming performance in directing the Rams offense to just three points against the Patriots. I'm not saying Goff will have an Elway-like career or that he is a player of similar style. (Elway was much more mobile.) I am saying we should cut Goff some slack and see how his career plays out.
