The Orlovsky vid was fascinating.

Holy shit that’s an absolute must watch. Wow.
In Goff’s best game in 2016–the year before Orlovsky–he went 20 of 32 for 214 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT, and a qb rating of 100.3. In his other 6 starts combined he averaged a qb rating of 57.5, with 2TDs in those games combined. He was also sacked 26 times in 7 games, which averages out to an unacceptable 3.7 per game.
So 2 things.
1 is the old refrain that Goff was no good. Inherently. In spite of being a green, untrained qb from a college spread who didn’t have the coaching and played in a mediocre offense for a team that had just relocated. You know…the “excuses.”
The other is, how did he pull off that one good game? 😳
In contrast, in 2017, he had 10 games with a qb rating in the 90s or above, including 2 about 145, and a season average of 100.5. He was also sacked just 25 times in 16 games, averaging 1.56 per game.
