Can you think of a better fit for McVay than Goff?
The timing was just about perfect for these 2 guys to come together. McVay got Goff when Goff was still only 22 years old and could mold him into an extension of himself.
What the skeptics and detractors miss is that Goff couldn’t do what he’s doing without special talent.
Phil Jackson tried to run his triangle with the Knicks. It failed. But it succeeded in Chicago and LA. The difference was talent.
There’s an interesting comparison between McVay/Goff and Walsh/Montana. Walsh was a nervous guy and Montana was unflappable. Walsh stressed out over every detail and Montana was looking in the stands at the Super Bowl to spot John Candy. Similarly, McVay is very excitable during the game and Goff is the embodiment of California cool.
These guys are gonna win a lot of games together.
