Goff comparison

[“Turbo set!”]

I have been attempting to think of a comparison from the past 30 years to Goff. I actually see a lot of Tom Brady in him. Accurate passer. Smart decision maker. Poised in the pocket.

I am not saying he will be equivalent to TB12. Just that he has the same attributes.

I’ll say this.

Under the direction of McVay, Goff will be able to be all that he can be.

We don’t yet know how high his ceiling is, of course. But I, for one, think that it might be pretty damned high.

I have been trying to come up with a comparison from the past 30 years trying to determine what we can expect from Goff in the coming years. I actually see a lot of Tom Brady in him. Accurate passer. Smart decision maker. Poised in the pocket.

Brady blows under a pass rush.

McVay + Goff = Walsh + Montana

 

[“Turbo set!”]

McVay + Goff = Walsh + Montana

I wish this was true. I like the Walsh/McVay comparison. Montana was deadly accurate and an excellent scrambler.

Matt Ryan was the big comparison when he was drafted. Not bad I guess.

 

[den-the-coach]

Montana was deadly accurate and an excellent scrambler.

Which NFL defeated Joe Montana most often?

Think Manning would be a good comp. Goff has some different strengths of course (much better arm for example) but I think his mind is going to be something that truly sets him apart in the years to come.

McVay's offense is perfect for him too and that might end up being even more important long-term.

Oh and btw I do think Brady's a fair comp to some extent as well, as he's also a guy whose mind sets him apart.

Brady blows under a pass rush.

Most everyone blows under an intense pass rush. The key is creating plays that diminish it. Play action off a strong running game helps.

Montana. My nickname for Goff is JoeCool2.

 

[Merlin]

Montana. My nickname for Goff is JoeCool2.

They do have similar demeanor.

But if I had to list Goff's weaknesses, right at the top is his throwing accuracy while on the run. He needs to work on that, and that was something Joe Cool was very good at.

All of that and presnap reads.

To be clear, Goff has to grow into the comparison or the nickname... but I think he will.

I said it when they drafted him. Reminds me totally of Brady and especially this year. Both made good decisions early in their careers. If you remeber Brady was once nicknamed Captain Check Down. Goff always knows where his check down size. Neither mobile but nimble in the pocket. Both have great mid games. Goff’s deep throws are better than Brady’s where this early in his career.

Like you I’m not saying he will be as great as Brady but I’m not saying he won’t. At this stage in their careers I would say Goff is ahead of Brady if you compare Brady’s first 2 years

Jared isn't the next Brady, he's the first Jared Goff.
