I agree that when conditions are right I like the throws he can make. But the weakness of collapsing when under pressure is very disconcerting. That's a huge weakness because they will never be able to prevent all pressure.
No one has ever established that Goff is bad under normal or average pressure. I have no idea why you would leap to that conclusion---there's just no basis for it.
PLUS in the middle of all this, people talk about pressure, and then--astoundingly, since these are people generally informed about football--completely neglect to account for the OL conditions.
If all you look at is the qb, the qb is all you will ever see.
But that's not the same as making a good analysis.
What is normal or average pressure? Compared to what? Heavy pressure? I think you're just making stuff up now. I have no idea why you think it's necessary to distinguish between types of pressure - there's just no basis for that.
My opinion is that pressure is pressure. You'd have to prove to me that that is not the case. Do you have any examples to differentiate between normal pressure versus heavy pressure? Can you name any QBs who were different under "normal" pressure versus some different kind of pressure?
When talking about pressure it's necessarily accounting for the OL since the vast majority of time a QB is under pressure, it's an OL failure. Every so often it's the QBs fault. So the context of the entire subject of a QB facing pressure is OL failure.
