More n more, we are seeing less of a kid thrilled to be there. Starting to see him get more testy. Goff?? I think this week is his first REAL test between McVay, fans and media. It's the most heat I have seen him take. Gonna be interesting to see what happens next. I think it just might be the late "WAKE THE $#%$ UP" call that Goff needs.
I don't buy this myth about him "needing to wake up." He had a bad game. Any good qb would react to having a bad game by striving to play the next game better. I think that all that happens is, we fans like to gripe, and then it makes it seem like it means something if we can then convince ourselves that the griping made a difference.
The real problem with having a qb who "needed" a "wake-up call" is that your qb NEEDED a "wake-up call."
As opposed to the simpler and more obvious truth, which is that after bad games good qbs don't NEED "wake-up calls," they just try to play better because that's who they are.
