With time both Goff can look elite and Akers can be a top back in the league. Without a better OL, Goff couldn't even utilize Tyreek Hill. With better protection McVay/Goff's reluctance to go deep would diminish greatly. Interior OL is job one!ob offense.
See, I think those QB actually make their OL's look better in a way that Goff can't. Put Mahomes behind this exact line and even with the occasional breakdowns, Mahomes would still make a defense pay.
Last year's SB illustrates that. It isn't like he's sitting back there with all day to throw. He's moving around and sometimes running to keep defenses honest. No defense respects Goff's potential to move around, much less run. And he doesn't do enough with his arm to ride or die with a statue in the pocket. If he could dissect and pick teams apart like Brady or even Rivers or Brees, that would be one thing but he just isn't at the level and never has been.
Goff has put up some good regular season numbers at times but his career in the post season is pretty awful. He really hasn't shown that he can consistently produce against playoff competition.
