I thought this was interesting in regards to our concerns about Goff:
2006
Jay Cutler - 108.3
Matt Leinart - 95.5
Vince Young - 69.1
2007
JaMarcus Russell - N/A
Brady Quinn - 96.5
2008
Matt Ryan - 75.1
Joe Flacco - 68.3
2009
Mark Sanchez - 111.0
Matt Stafford - 52.8
Josh Freeman - 41.0
2010
Sam Bradford - 95.9
Tim Tebow - 88.0
2011
Jake Locker - 88.5
Christian Ponder - 79.5
Cam Newton - 64.9
Blaine Gabbert - 64.3
Andy Dalton* - 59.6
2012
Russell Wilson* - 110.3
Robert Griffin III - 103.3
Andrew Luck - 89.3
Ryan Tannehill - 66.9
Brandon Weeden - 59.7
2013
E.J. Manuel - 112.0
Mike Glennon* - 61.4
2014
Teddy Bridgewater - 111.2
Blake Bortles - 110.0
Derek Carr* - 108.3
Johnny Manziel - 76.7
2015
Marcus Mariota - 102.9
Jameis Winston - 52.7
I added an asterisk next to QBs who played well as rookies but weren't first round picks and included them on the list. Take a minute, look the list over, and tell me when you see it.
Okay, did you see it? No? Good, there's nothing to see. We have successful QBs who were great, successful QBs who were pedestrian, and successful QBs who were bad. We have bad QBs who were great, bad QBs who were pedestrian, and bad QBs who were bad. The preseason doesn't even predictive how well a rookie QB will play as a rookie.
This definitely makes me feel better about Goff. You have guys like Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, and Cam Newton struggling in the preseason. And then all ended up having good rookie years.
