Year one: Rookie in a historically bad offense. It doesn't wreck his confidence.
Year two: Learns a new offense and pilots it to the playoffs.
Year three: Games like the Vikings and Chiefs demonstrate his ceiling is much higher than the naysayers would ever credit. His persistence and adjustments in the Saints game was pure mental toughness.
Year four: A helpless defense against the Bucs forces Goff to become a gunslinger. He kept the team competitive in a bad scenario. With the whole offense in flux and an inconsistent defense, Jared never wilts.
Year five: Pundits return to early 2017 form. Sigh. And Kurt Warner forgot how to play QB behind bad lines in New York and Arizona. When Russ Grimm rebuilt the Cards OLine, the washed up QB suddenly became fitting of a gold jacket again.
Jared Goff improves his game every year. The results will vary based on his team's performance. I don't care a flying funk what knee jerk reactionaries have to say about him when they understand so little about the game itself.
I expect Jared Goff to be a Ram lifer and lead the team for over a dozen years, build on his already two Pro Bowls, and play in a few Super Bowls. So, no. There's no hot seat per se about this one game. On the other hand...he's an NFL Quarterback. His seat never cools.
