That worries me. We should be hanging close in the 4th qtr so a QB that can lead the offense on late scoring lead getting drives is important. Is that Goff?
It shouldn’t worry you, no. And if Goff WERE the reason they didn’t win as much, every NFL and media analyst in the country would know it, and he would not be ranked as high as he was as an NFL prospect.
Besides wins/losses are not qb stats. They are team stats. You always have to look at the context.
And this is the relevant context stuff:
1. the Cal team was terrible. It had both one of the worst offensive lines and one of the worst defenses in college football.
2. After winning 1 game Goff’s 1st year, they improved each year he was a starter after that. Over and over, analysts stress that Goff was all they had. If they won at all, or were in games at all, it was because of Goff.
Given all that, you can’t blame the record on Goff…yet he did contribute to them improving. When they won at all it’s because Goff overcame the effects of a bad OL and a bad defense.
