Goff really reminds me of Alex year 1 just in how they acclimate to the NFL and their offenses. Alex ended up being a pretty good player when all is said and done, but it took a long time for him to realize any of what made him a 1st round pick and never looked like a 1st round pick until after his rookie contract. Can you imagine if we had given up what the Rams did last year to draft Alex? Can you imagine how much harder such a scenario would have made things for Alex?
Almost makes me feel bad for the kid. Almost...
EDIT: This is not a prediction that Goff follows the exact path Smith did, just that the 2 scenarios feel similar after year 1 in the NFL.
Agree, reminds me of Alex's first year.
