I have no doubt that they Snead/Fisher/Boras/Weinke all thought they could get JG ready to be the starter at some point during the first quarter of the season or so.
When they scouted/interviewed and traded up to get JG, surely they were quite hopeful and believed JG would prove himself and win the job because of his talent along with the teaching of their coaching staff.
The second they turned in the draft card with JG's name on it, I believe they all thought it would come together less than 8 games into the season.
I also believe Fisher thought if for some reason JG wasn't capable of taking on the responsibility when they likely expected, he always had plan A/2 to ride it out with Keenum for a month or so had they miscalculated, which they probably did but they will never admit it.
Both JG and Fisher's offensive staff failed to deliver.. At this point I could care less who's more to blame. My gut tells me Goff was definitely more to blame in the beginning months but Fisher's staff after 7 games has to be held accountable for what ever reasons they're not going to admit.
Fisher has played this safe from the beginning of training camp. He's been safe to protect the psych of his golden arm from failure as well as the reputation of his offensive staff being qualified to groom a young spread formation rookie quarterback.
I think Fisher handled his whole thing wrong when asked about Goff's timeline...His "he MAY start the opener, that's the goal" is haunting him,as many fans seem to have taken that as the holy grail of when Goff should have been ready. Stupid statement in retrospect. Maybe it was the pressure of being number one pick or just plain old coach speak as a way to get Goff motivated, but it surely has backfired....Look at Denver, their first round QB who came from similar system as Goff is "nowhere near ready" yet you don't hear fans and media complaining about that...Sure they're winning, but its not as if Trevor is some sort of pro bowl caliber QB who should be holding off a 1st round QB.... He, like Goff is simply not ready....Has Denver's coaching staff "failed to deliver" cuz he's not ready yet? Regardless if they're winning, reports are that he is far from ready.... though Fisher has stated many before the season started that he kept Case around and put a first round tender on him because he planned on this scenario where they were going to let Goff sit and learn, he still is held to that one quote about starting day one by many of his many critics....
If Case falls short this week, I think Jeff will be forced to put him in regardless if he's ready or not.
