I've got no beef with Goff. he's having a good year. But he's not been far and away better than hurts as a passer like you're making it out to be. He's got 1 more TD, 250 or so more yards, and 1 less pick.
thats a issue in its self Goff is having a better year. so imo that’s a disappointment to me

Nfl has sucked since the 2005 rule changes where you could no longer touch Wr’s after Peyton and the Colts complained that the Pats were too physical with their WR’s

Ever since then it’s been a 7 on 7 drill
It didnt really take shape til about 2011. You could still play old school, physical defense. See the Ravens, Steelers, Bears, Jets etc..in 2005, there were only 2 4000 yard passers in the whole league and there were still a healthy amount of DBs making life hell for QBs. Peyton Manning threw 6 ints in a SNF game in 2007. Pennington threw 4 ints vs Bmore in the 2008 Wild Card. The pinball, 7 on 7 era began in 2011.

Frfr. That year, 2011, had a crazy amount of 4000 yard passers IIRC.

Is he wrong? This is the current MVP favorite.

Add 359 yards rushing and 9 tds to that. Also making late down situations yardage virtually irrelevant. There is a reason Philly so able to control the 4th quarter and win these close games.

Philly starts every series needing 9 yards in 3 plays not 10. That’s a helluva an advantage.
