That's what I look at. In 2014 when McVay became OC there Cousins had played in only 8 NFL games with 4 starts. He had a career QB rating of 68.6 in 203 attempts (Goff had 205 last year). Cousins played well in 2 of those 4 starts.
Then under McVay in 2014 Cousins had a QB rating of just over 86, completed over 61% of his passes and had a positive TD-INT ratio. And collectively Cousins, Griffin and McCoy had an 88.8 QB rating with 66% completions.
That's along the lines of what I would really like McVay (and LaFleur and Olsen) to be able to get out of Goff this year.
Really, 2012-2013 Cousins and 2016 Goff are not very different.
The only thing I'd add that might raise expectations is that McVay was a first time OC when grooming the neophyte Cousins. In theory, he should know more about what he's doing now so maybe Goff can produce a little better than 88.8 rating?
