I didn't change the subject at all. Another poster pointed out what is obvious to most of us is that Goff has had good games and they too should be accounted for.
You've also claimed that the turnover problem with Goff has been fixed. I'm not so sure it has been fixed but he certainly has improved himself near the end of the season.

Depending on what you meant by that--the underlined bit--it's not my point in this discussion that his good games should be accounted for.
What I was discussing in this thread had to do with what his turnover stats mean.
The problem is, that's one set of stats that can lead to false conclusions.
For one thing 2019 got thrown in with 2020. Those are 2 different animals. The OL was in disarray last year and got a temporary fix by replacing injured starters with inexperienced you players. If your OL is disrupted to that extent so is the qb.
For another thing, yes, as you say, I argue that the apparent TO problem reduces to 2 especially bad games (7 TOs in 2 games), and that the issues causing those bad games have been addressed and fixed. More on that if you are interested though I've explained my view on that a few times.
If 2019 is a different animal, and if in 2020 the real issues were in 2 games and those issues got addressed and fixed, then just nailing together the stats on TOs from 2 years does not present an accurate picture.
If you wanted to know how your car was performing and did some numbers before a tune-up and then after a tune-up, would you get a clear picture from averaging the 2 sets of numbers together? If you did average them you would disguise the effect of a before and after.
If I am right and the issues causing the 2 bad turnover games have been fixed, then you don't get a clear picture by averaging those numbers together. There's a before and after.
