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..
Well I actually am not really addressing the latter. Feelings. Whether someone has confidence in it is subjective and so I leave that out and just address whether the player can do it. On Goff, he has delivered in the clutch. Not quite at a rate like Wilson...(who has 11 comeback/GWD games in the same 3 year window where Rodgers and Goff both had 8)...but he
has done it. Saying he has done it is an argument, though obviously without any guarantee, that he
can.
It's part of the general debate Rams fans everywhere are having now. He had a bad second quarter of the season in 2020. Some take that as indicating what he really is. Some don't take it that way and say he can rebound--which he may in fact already be doing (and which he did at Cal too, prior to this). If people have different FEELINGS, then, all you can do is compare feelings and ultimately agree to disagree. If they have different
cases based on the facts and history, they CAN debate that--and wait for the future to reveal if either interpretation of the evidence is right.
I am engaged in the latter. Debating the future based on facts while waiting to find out which views hold up.
