Does the connection with the QB come into play at all?
I don't mean "are they buds?", although they have been training camp roommates.
I mean, just a certain onfield connection, a comfort level, a trust between a QB and a receiver.
I think Goff definitely has that with Kupp, and I think he likes Higbee somewhat the same way.
Twice in a row, under extreme duress in the NFC championship, he flung it in Higbee's direction, and Higs made the grab, for some CRUCIAL yards.
Does a coaching staff ever say "yes, maybe we could go out and find another guy, but the cube clicks with THIS guy. All things considered, lets stay put."?
Ramily!
