Not trying to excuse his performance Sunday or deficiencies in general. But clearly the numbers show Goff has been worse (since 2019) vs. SF than everyone else by a pretty wide margin.
As Jourdan and Rich H. discussed on this week's 11 Personnel podcast, the 'improvement' with Goff is more likely about raising his floor than his ceiling. That is, it's about reducing the amount of clunkers than increasing the amount of all-world games he has. And I agree with that. I posted the other day that when Goff was at his peak (2017-2018) he had bad games 20% of the time (6 out of 31). That's very much acceptable. The past two seasons it's been 30% (8 of 27). Bridge THAT gap, in my opinion.
I have to do my normal intervention.
You can usually expect bad games from a qb playing behind a deficient, struggling OL, which was the case for 2019 (even after the OL improved some).I count him as having 6 bad games in 2019 and 3 in 2020. For reasons just stated I don't count 2019 in the same category as 2017-18 & 2020. So that set taken together, it's 9 out of 42, which is 21.4%.
Honestly, the way I analyze this, I just cannot factor in 2019 as normal. It was a different animal.
