Jared Goff May Be the Next Tim Couch—In a Good Way!

There are strong links between the (unjustly maligned) quarterback who relaunched the Browns in ’99 and the Cal product who could be Cleveland’s next presumptive franchise QB. It doesn’t worry Goff one bit

Goff has known losing (early) and winning (later) at Cal.

The list is 24 names long now, and as each new one is etched at the bottom, its status as the most depressing document in sports is reaffirmed.
