I seriously think if Goff somehow managed to complete that TD pass in the SB and the Rams pull out a 13-10 win that many of these media idiots would have Goff in their top 10. That Super Bowl made it cool to hate on Goff
That’s true but I think the bigger part is that many of the Analysts and Experts pegged Goff a bust after his seven game rookie season in 2016.
They looked bad in 2017, and were rightfully getting called out. They continued to look foolish when the Rams opened 2018 at 10-1.
People hate to admit when they are wrong. When the offense struggled towards the end of 2018 and was inconsistent in 2019, it opened the door for the same group to make their case that they were correct in their original opinions on Goff.
And it’s unfair to Goff. He does not get his fair share of credit when he plays well but is excessively criticized when he doesn’t play well.
Side-bar - Life is unfair.
Here’s just one little example. The same group that hates Goff, mostly loves Drew Brees. In my opinion, Goff out-played Brees in the NFC Championship under circumstances that greatly favored the beloved veteran.
