My recollection of Goff last year was that he started out rough, continuing his downward trend after the TNF game against KC but that he got a little better as the year went on. But he actually just tread water or got a little worse. His first 8 games in '19 he had 11 TD/7 INT. The last 8 he had 11 TD/9 INT. Rating was right around 87 for both halves.
While most wouldn't agree that Goff is anywhere comparable to Trubisky, they both put up similar production to finish last year. Trubisky's last 8 games he had 12 TD/9 INT and an 85 rating.
Which makes it difficult to argue that Goff deserves to be paid a starter's contract. I don't think the Bears were any worse off offensively than the Rams and they are ready to move on from MT. It is not encouraging that Goff can be mentioned in the same breath as a guy who likely won't be a starter much longer.
Goff's 2019 season and basically the last year and half worth of games he has been sub-mediocre in terms of efficiency and production. If it takes all-world production from Gurley and McVay's offense catching the league by storm for Goff to be successful then the Rams have a problem.
