I agree that Goff was a big part of the problem and that he had a down year. The data states that. However, with Goff we did make the playoffs and win the first PO game. Certainly Goff gets some credit for that.
Max stated: "Let other point fingers at McVay all they want for the losses. I'm pointing the finger squarely at Goff."
I have to disagree that Goff was a train wreck or that he was to blame for all the losses. Maybe Max was stating his case against Goff too strongly.
In the last game against GB, Goff's QB rating was 107, and he was 21 out of 27. He had no INTs. He was sacked 4 times, one of which was a critical 4th down. Clearly the OLine was not great. Other posters have made this point more strongly. Our defense gave up 32 points, GB rushed for almost 200 yards, and A. Rodgers passed for nearly 300 yards.
I don't think you can blame Goff for that loss, or that he was the biggest weakness.
Personally, before the Stafford trade, I wanted the Rams to keep working with Goff in the belief that he could once again perform like he did two years earlier. I think our team improved itself by obtaining Stafford, and I think Goff is going to struggle greatly in Detroit. McVay has earned the benefit of the doubt so I'm open and supportive of any off-season moves he makes. I kinda feel sorry for Goff having to go Det.
A quarterback who had 4 bad games and came through in others is not the disaster some are hyperbolically telling themselves it is. It just is not.
The question is why Goff was a mixed bag for the season (came through in some games, not in others). Part of that is on the qb.
The OL was an issue in a few games. That was part of it.
McVay demonstrated all year he was being impatient with the qb and some commentators even said he knew how to tear the qb down and not build him back up. That kind of impatience is not good coaching. What we saw often with Goff is a qb who lost confidence--and the coach did nothing to fix that, and in fact was probably the main cause. That's part of it too.
Yet all that is moot. There was a disconnect between the qb and coach all season, and McVay has even partly admitted his culpability in that. But when you have such a disconnect, one of them has to go, and it is not likely to be the winning-record coach.
So they got Stafford, and Stafford is a plus. On top of it McVay is not likely to lack communication with a savvy veteran qb who knows more about playing the position than he does (McVay has never been a qb coach.) So getting Stafford is a plus--because if nothing else, McVay is more than likely to forge a collaborative, constructive qb/coach relationship. That's a plus in its own right.
