And that is Goff not having mobility. Completely agree he's not break-away mobile in which he's a threat with his legs.... but I do think he's quite good at being elusive, getting the pass off under duress.
Good at buying time in the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield, very good at the rollouts, and when he tucks and runs he's no slowpoke. Guy's a solid athlete.
In fact, given that he's not Michael Vick, the only related *issue* I have with him is not his mobility, per se, but his decisionmaking. He's such a pass-first QB that he's sometimes slow to recognize and take the "safe," 10-yard running lanes when they're available to him. I'd love to see them throw in a designed run or run-option play early in a game, just to give the D something to think about.
I repeat: Goff is no slowpoke.
