Re: still disagree

My only evidence is from looking at tape. Earlier in the season, I would see many instances when Goff would anticipate the route and let the ball go before the receiver hits the open window. He was throwing the ball before the receiver is looking or even with the defender or before the receiver's break.

I just haven't seen that at all lately from him. But you made me do some research, so see attached Goff's time to throw for 2018. Detroit had the highest time to throw and Bears was sixth. Eagles had the lowest time to throw all year proving your point of using more check downs against Eagles.

Nothing very conclusive, but interestingly if you look at Chicago as cutoff, his average QB rating and completion rate goes down as his time to throw goes up.

For instance, for Goff's top 6 highest time to throw, his average QB rating and completion rate are 83 and 58% respectively. The rest are 111 and 69% respectively.

Maybe... McVay somehow slowed Goff's development by giving him the pre snap reads and making it easy for Goff to find the open receiver. I just feel like Goff is not yet comfortable figuring out what the defense is doing post snap.
