Partly this: "Once the OL collapses I don't see the point in blaming the qb for the situation-".... the QB still has options and execution to factor in.. to simply write it off as 'you can't factor that in so ignore factoring in his judgements after the breakdown is simply NOT using context or coaching well.
And this: "So Goff played poorly with a discombulated OL. Solution? Fix the OL. Can't fix the OL? Expect more of the same." You NEVER do only ONE thing at a time. Not if you want to win anyway. OBVIOUSLY you need to fix the line.... that's a no-brainer... but to think the QB becomes irrelevant in any thing he does because of a break-down elsewhere is nonsensical to me.
Goff did some great things today... anyone who didn't see that is missing some very important factors, IMO.... at the same time.. even WITH the breaddowns NOT of his making he made some very poor plays... and anyone not seeing that is also missing some very important factors, IMO.
I know the qb will play better with stable OL play, I've seen it.
And yes I think fixing the OL fixes the majority of the kinds of mistakes he made today.
On a day like this I take heart in the fact that he did as many good things as he did.
So we just differ on that.
Which means, of course, I have put you on my "must be hunted down and eliminated" list.
Don't worry, that's mostly for when I have the time and resources.
