On some of these issues. It was the move.
Numerous reporters close to the situation said it had an effect. All the way up and down the line, coaches and players. Farr, who had been through a move, said it had an effect.
And I saw a hint that Goff was forced on Fisher? I suppose in a busy multi-faceted fan world some rumors never go away. But that one has been blown completely out of the water.
Goff was just going to be THAT green last year no matter who took him and no matter what they did with him.
I have always found that anyone who tries to reduce 2016 to one or two major causes is just basically neglecting to list all the others. It wasn't one major thing. It wasn't two major things. It was MANY major things.
And thankfully for us, a lot of the things that made 2016 what it was are gone now, because they were unique to 2016. They didn't just move. Goff is not a rookie. (And the fact that he is no longer a rookie is one of the major reasons he looks better this year.)
