Hello! (Skip to end for TLDR)
I'm a Cal fan and a prospective Rams fan. No Cal fan wants Goff to go to the Browns. We want the best for him and we hope that he goes to the Rams. I haven't followed NFL too much to know what it takes to be a successful QB at this level, but all Cal fans love Goff and have high expectations for him. It's truly been a blessing to watch him play.
He is really accurate most of the time and just makes plays. You might think that Wentz is better on his feet, but trust me, Goff knows when and how to use his feet. He scrambles really well and is actually deceivingly shifty. Wentz might be the more physical one, but Goff plays really smart, and he can throw his body for the team when necessary. He's certainly done that at Cal.
Goff could've been so much better had he had a little more time in the pocket. Our O-line was one of the worst and gave Goff very little time in the pocket (which also explains his very quick releases). Goff has taken so many hits the first two years at Cal. That's one reason that I really hope that Goff goes to the Rams. He will get crushed at Cleveland. Make no mistake though. He is deadly when defenses show blitz. He lets them come to him and throws over them and eats them up.
Cam Newton has one of the strongest arms, but I hate him as a passer. Obviously you need to have decent strength, but I believe that if you actually throw too fast or too hard, it just leads to dropped passes. Goff throws great deep balls and knows which shoulder to throw at. His footwork has also received plenty of praise. Just give him some time in the pocket, and you've got a deadly QB. (he and his dad grew up playing baseball. you guys might know his dad. so don't underestimate his arm strength)
Don't let Cal's poor records in his first two years worry you. Our defense has been rated the worst in the entire division 1 football. Our O-line has also been prettyyyy bad. But still, he always keeps his cool and will make his throws.
TLDR
1. Goff is accurate and times his throws very well. Enough strength.
2. He is great in the red-zone
3. Amazing footwork that allows him to scramble and move in his pocket to buy time and look for his receivers
4. Great against blitz
5. Quick reads and releases
6. He is a quality guy that won't start drama. He is humble and does the right things.
7. Cal's defense and O-line sucked. And actually our running game was not good either. So even though we ran a pretty one dimensional offense, he did pretty well.
