Well, isn't every NFL coach really? That said, the second article I posted has some amazing stats, really. And it might be due to playing in the same system for 3 years, but it also clearly shows how amazing Goff has been. Crazy stats: - Adjust for dropped passes, and he is accurate on 80% of his attempts - Passes that travel 20+ yards in the air, he's 19 of 26, and two of the misses were drops Now I'd like him to go deep more... but I also don't care that much. I like his deep ball more (a lot?) than Teddy's already, and it's the threat of the deep ball in the NFL more than anything that is needed. Nobody would mistake Brady for being an amazing deep ball passer. But he can do it well as necessary. And so far the only part of it Goff doesn't do well, is not enough of it. Stats point to if he had more deep balls, he'd still be exceptional, even if not as crazy good as he's been thus far.

about a month old article...but this is a solid read. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25297136/how-cals-jared-goff-became-nations-top-nfl-quarterback-prospect
Does anybody have any info on how he is with his teammates? And what kind of person he is in the locker room? Is he a rah-rah kind of guy with some fire too him? Is he a natural born leader of men? Basically does he have that IT about him?
Ha! Me too. I blame Hard Knocks. That was the only reason I got HBO and I watched the movie on there before I cancelled it.
From what I've read he's a pretty quiet guy. He mainly hangs with teammates, jokes around a lot. He gets hazed for liking bad music from teammates. Once threw a party at his apartment with the entire Cal marching bad playing in his living room. He seems well liked, but he does like to keep his head down. Doesn't try to attract a lot of attention to himself, rather enjoys anonymity. More of leads by example kind of guy. Stoic if you say. Always even-killed and calm. Seems to be outgoing with close friends and teammates, but tries to stay out of the limelight in public, rather wants to keep to himself more than anything.

If tomorrow's game goes bad we all could be watching Saturday nights game hoping and wishing for goff.
