    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?

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.

    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.

    13-11 if you remove the 1-11 Frosh season…lol…

    but you need to consider that Cal hasn’t been a football power house since the 1940’s

    The most recent success they’ve had was under Jeff Tedford, when they had Aaron Rodgers, Marshawn Lynch and DeSean Jax, but overall Cal has been mediocre at best….

    Cal and Stanford will always be big time academic schools moreso than athletics… but the Stanford AD has changed things a bit in the past 16 years, Cal doesn’t have that urgency…

    Consider John Elway finished 5-6 his last season at Stanford.. but he played in the PAC-10, (now PAC-12) it’s a very under rated conference… SEC gets all the attention, but the PAC 12 is very good, it’s just that no one really gives a shit about college football in No. Cal like they do elsewhere in the country…..

    for what it’s worth rodgers at cal was 18-7 in his two seasons. he did not start his freshman year like goff did.

    so his record was 18-7 compared to goff who was 13-12. he did have marshawn lynch and jj arrington his last year at cal. jj arrington was a second round pick the same year rodgers declared for the nfl draft in 2005. arrington had 2000 yards rushing that year. lynch had 628 yards that year. 2004. cal went 10-2. goff went 8-5 this season his last.
