Simms is a jealous ten year old moonlighting as an analyst. Goff has improved a lot in the past year IMO. Just watching his handoffs for example the dude is so fucking smooth with his body control that it's hard to read his motion. I think his fakes are among the league's best right now. He's on top of his game and the opposing LBs don't have any idea where the ball is.
Here's an example. Remember that TD run by Woody in the first quarter? Check out the smoothness...

Fake to Kupp and the LBs are frozen

Great fake to Brown and they're still frozen. The ILB closest to the LOS will be sucked in on it.

And now the coup de grace with the flip of the ball to Woody. Now people won't be impressed by this but look at his body language. Look where Goff's hands are. And note the position of the LBs with the nearest one at the left hash.

Look at the distance Woody travelled before the LB committed. That is some nasty fuckin misdirection man and yeah McVay drew it up but Goff executed that shit with a straight back and a wrist flip.
