History certainly isn't on Jared Goff's side.
It has been 14 years -- 14 years! -- since a quarterback drafted No. 1 overall has won his NFL debut. You have to go all the way back to David Carr, with the Houston Texans, in 2002. Since then, nine consecutive No. 1 overall picks have lost their debut from under center. The list: Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, Alex Smith, JaMarcus Russell, Matthew Stafford, Sam Bradford, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Jameis Winston.
