I think it's OK to say both- that Goff was below average overall when it comes to the entire 2020 season (23rd in passer rating and ESPN's QBR rating, rated 20th by Football Outsiders and 22nd by PFF) AND that he was pretty good in the postseason- especially considering the thumb issue and limited practice pre-SEA. 100.7 QB rating in the two games.
The QB rating calculator rewards efficiency (completion percentage, yards/attempt, not turning the ball over, etc.) as much as it does big plays and yards. And really, that's the story around Goff isn't it? That they need him to be more efficient and minimize mistakes much more so than they need more 'wow' plays from him?
