Sean McVay: Hopefully Jared Goff is 'stuck with me for a long time'By:Andrew Ortenberg
“With what Jared’s done over the last couple years, you can’t argue with the production and how good we feel about him being our quarterback, and we intend for that to be for a long time,” McVay explained.
The third-year Rams coach also specifically called out the media rumors, and sought to put to rest “any of the things or narratives that are out there.”
“Jared Goff, as long as I’m fortunate enough to be in this role, hopefully, this guy is stuck with me for a long time,” he declared.
McVay also called out another common criticism of Goff, that his success is only due to McVay’s system and scheme.
“He’s an outstanding leader. People make a deal about the system, and he’s the reason why – our players are the reason why the system is what it is.”
The ‘system-quarterback’ narrative was never fair, but Goff dismantled it this past season.
McVay isn’t the type of coach that’s dishonest with the media. He means what he says, and the Rams are going to get a deal done at some point. The team still controls Goff’s rights through the 2020 season, so there isn’t really a hurry. The Eagles are generally more aggressive about locking up players earlier, but that doesn’t mean anything about how the Rams feel about Goff.
