zn, you're really gotta stop changing people's arguments. The claim I made wasn't that Goff "CANNOT read defenses." My claim was that he had a "hard time reading the defense and needed help."
Two completely different things. Struggling with something or being subpar at it is not equal to cannot do it.
Given the blatant misrepresentation, I didn't bother to read the rest of the post. You can do better.

Many many times I have called you out for doing exactly that to me, and you just ducked it. I won't do that. Either way the same argument applies. So on to your clarification. Someone
struggling with being subpar at reading defenses does not come off the bench, injured, on the road, in the playoffs, and play well...does not win a championship game in New Orleans of all places and outplay Brees...does not throw 51 times against the Tampa defense on the road on a day when the offense cannot run the ball, and contribute to a win.
You are not thinking of Jared Goff. You have in mind guys like Ponder, Gabbert, Trubisky, Lynch, Winston, Mariota, and Bortles. Or Wentz in 2020. It's hyperbole.
My bet is that Goff in 2020 no more struggled with reading defenses post-snap than Stafford did in his 5th year. That is--they both did, to an extent and only to an extent, and I bet in both cases, somebody in the fan base ramped it up into something it wasn't.
