He doesn't know for sure that Goff is going to deliver.

That's a reasonable take..

Actually I contend it's not a reasonable take. We have seen Goff deliver "in the big moment" several times. We saw it last night. Goff had 5 come-from-behind and/or game-winning-drive games in 2018, and that's including the post-season. He even had 2 in 2019.

Across the same three year period, that's the same number (8) Aaron Rodgers has.

So CAN he? Yes. How do we know? He has done it. Will he do it more times than not? Different question. But then I don't think there are many qbs (ever) where you go yes, I know he will do it more times than not. Not even Wilson.

...

Now you're in the territory of saying someone's feelings aren't valid. Futile!

CAN one deliver and confidence in them delivering are two wildly different things. I think the most relevant question is will he deliver or what is the confidence level in him delivering?

I know very few people who are going to have the same confidence in Goff as they do for Rodgers and Wilson despite them failing in those situations sometimes too.

And it's perfectly reasonable, based on the past, to have lessor confidence in Goff.

EDIT: As an aside, my confidence level in Goff or the Rams offense as a whole decreased after they were exposed in the 2018 SB especially since they had been shown to struggle with certain defenses that year.
