I do like his accuracy and ability to make plays/keep his eyes downfield after scrambling, though.
I think he has a Chad Pennington-type arm, though. Not much zip on the the ball when I have seen him.

Comparing anyone to Rodgers is pretty far out there lol..And you are right, his arm strength isn't anywhere near Rodgers. Still though, The guy said Goff is one of the best he's ever faced, and he's been a college coach for nearly 30 years, and he was an NFL coach for 5 years.
I think you place too much value in arm strength. Goff doesn't have a rocket, but he has incredible placement and touch. Very accurate on all areas of the field.
Mannings arm strengh wasn't as strong as Penningtons in 2013 when he set a bazillion records.
I'm much more concerned with Goffs transition from the spread to a pro style offense than his arm strength.
