I'll patiently wait for examples of anyone who suggest Goff should be cut over "one bad game".
.

How about the threads wanting us to get Darnold to replace him?

IMO, all the negative threads about how bad Goff is, how he will never get better, etc sure could make a point that some people would be fine with replacing Goff.

Please read it again with the correct emphasis.

Emphasis and emotion don't always translate well in a post, sorry, and I get your point. Nobody said just because of one game. It is based on more than one game.

However "one bad game" seems to be what caused this over reaction to Goff's play to a new level IMO. Goff has flaws. We ALL know it but they are not as bad as some are suggesting. When you have a good player with "flaws" you need a good coach to teach or work around those "flaws".

Finding someone BETTER to replace Goff would be a gamble and the odds are not in our favor.

I think it's more of a "straw that broke the camel's back" situation but I agree that McVay has to work around Goff's shortcomings as he would with any other QB. But, I think that is why there is frustration. McVay has been masking issues for a while now and it's ridiculous that the Rams can't deal with Zero Coverage for a variety of reasons.

One of those being Goff struggling with recognition. The videos that KW reviewed pretty clearly and consistently show Goff not looking at the free blitzer. On the sack/fumble that the Dolphins returned for the TD, had Goff just looked to the right at the snap, where he should have known the free blitzer was coming from, it was an easy swing pass to Henderson or a crosser over the middle to Reynolds who was wide open. On top of that, he didn't even feel the pressure coming or assume that he had to get rid of the ball quickly.

Those videos are worth watching as KW breaks it all down, clearly and logically. Goff wasn't solely to blame because Whitworth was pretty bad at times too. He seemingly goes the wrong way on more than one occasion, letting pressure up the middle to disrupt Goff. So, I don't know if his head just wasn't in the game, if he couldn't hear the line calls, or what. But I just can't imagine the design of the offense is to allow a free release from the B gap.
