Things change quickly in the NFL. Since the end of 2018, a lot of Goff's weaknesses have been exposed and teams have figured out the system.

To be honest, in hindsight, the Rams made a mistake extending him early. The same one they made with Gurley.

And yes, in addition to the league catching up to Goff, he's lost a lot of weapons. He had an elite OL, the OPOY RB, and elite receiving weapons. That combined with how he performed in McVay's system was all new which gave him a short-term advantage. That's how 2018 happened.

It was concerning that he needed every unit around him to be elite to function at a high level but I think the Rams figured that as the QB matured, he could still do well with fewer weapons because he would be better.

The problem in a nutshell: Goff is not developing, he's a limited QB, the system is no longer novel, and the elite weapons are gone.
