Look, I know what the comment sections are going to look like on this one. There will be stuff like “But he’s never won a Super Bowl,” or maybe there will be a new one like “Goff is only good because of John Morton.” People tend to just write things off with Goff, and it’ll just never make any sense. The thing is that his big performance on Sunday against the guy who was not long ago supposed to be the only reason he’s good was actually a historic performance. Goff led his team to 50 points for the fifth time in his career. That tied him with Peyton Manning (five) for the fourth-most by a quarterback since 1950. The only guys to do it more are Tom Brady (eight starts), Drew Brees (six), and Len Dawson (six). Goff’s 300-yard passing game, along with an 80 percent completion percentage and a 155 passer rating, also tied him with Manning, Brady, Kurt Warner, and Lamar Jackson for the second most such games by a quarterback in NFL history. This game also marked a fourth straight game in which Goff completed at least 75% of his passes. Only one other quarterback has done that for four straight games, and that was Brady.This isn’t the first time Goff’s name has been mentioned alongside Manning and Brady. Goff is one of just a handful of quarterbacks, including the two legends, to reach a championship game with two different teams. Goff is also on a very short list with Brady and Manning for players who have led two different franchises to 13-plus wins in a season.At the end of the day, the Super Bowls and things do matter. Nobody here is trying to say that Goff is the best quarterback of all time. But it can’t be ignored that he is consistently mentioned alongside the two best quarterbacks of all time. What will have these guys’ names being mentioned together next?
