I took boiling down 12 good to perfect games, 3 bad games, and 1 mediocre game being half a good season, as glossing over much of his season.
After the bye, Goff was not putting up good numbers. I suppose you could grade each game but if you just look at what he did before the bye vs. after the bye, it's pretty clear that it was a tale of two seasons.
258/381 (67.7%) 3,547 (9.31 ypa) 26TD(6.8%)/6INT(1.6%) 113.5 rating.
106/180 (58.9%) 1,141 (6.34 ypa) 6TD(3.3%)/6INT(3.3%) 74.8 rating.
So, for 2017 and to the bye of 2018, he was elite. That is bookended by his (understandably) bad rookie season and his bad second "half" in 2018. And that's not including the playoffs where he continued to struggle much of the time. All of which underscores the idea that lauding him for this career 5.0/2.5 ratio is premature. We don't know what he is yet and setting some arbitrary pass attempt threshold so that he's on the list is bogus. Deshaun Watson's at the threshold for example but his two seasons aren't quite enough. Mahomes is obviously way above the ratio. It's a manipulated and cherry-picked stat that basically doesn't mean anything.
Guys who have proved and sustained that level of efficiency and production vs. a guy who, so far, had a really good season and a half.
