As I recall, SEVERAL accounts from back in the day where it was said during the GSOT practices; "the ball would never hit the ground..."
That group, led by Kurt were perfectionist. I'm sure they had their 1-offs but let's not go to revisionist history to serve a new agenda..

Goff took issue with the characterization of him "struggling" because of the INTs in practice.
He said because it's practice he took some chances that he normally wouldn't in games.
However there was an implication that he probably wouldn't continue taking as many chances in practice (McVay weighing in and saying not to?)
It seems to me that some of these guys are over scrutinized in practice. Practice is the place you learn, try new things, take some extra risks, etc. Not everything is going to go well as a result.
The games are what counts; not practice. We've all heard about guys who do great in practice but it never seems to translate to the field. And just the opposite as well: Kurt Warner was known as a poor practice player. But everything changed on game day. Wonder if what was "poor" was simply taking more risks and trying different things during practice because it didn't count?

Your last words to me: "Your a great guy RFIP. I was very sad when you left the board, and your son, but was glad to see you back. Take care my friend, may God be by your side." 09/09/2017 12:58AM
No Nelson, you were a far better man than I, and I am sure an awesome husband and father as well. I will miss you my friend. -RFIP
