Those that know me well on this board can back me up that I've been in his corner since the day he was drafted.
Well then you know. He tends to play well against Seattle. He tends not to have a series of bad games. The bad games are not entirely due to his own play but are reactions to circumstances, including whether the team has come to play and/or whether the offensive playcalling adapts to counter what the defense is doing.
You also know that whether or not he plays well against Seattle--which he most likely will--settles nothing. There could be another game in the future where the unfavorable conditions appear and the offense, including Goff, has to fight through it.
So this whole "hot seat" thing to me is not all that relevant. None of this is decided game by game. Doing well settles nothing and for that matter doing poorly settles nothing either, since historically he always bounces back.
I think the first game where people said "this game is the big reveal, it means a lot" was Chicago. A lot of people said this game will tell us everything, it's the big reveal. And of course, it wasn't.
And whether or not you say he is on the hotseat has nothing whatsoever to do with people liking or not liking you saying it. You often say, well I got heat for saying he has to prove himself. Well me and others get heat for defending him. That's what a qb controversy is like. No matter what you say, there's someone who wants to counter it. The trick is to not be sensitive to that. That's just going to happen.
I just take your posts as meaning you anxiously look forward to seeing how he will do in the upcoming game. Which is fair.
