I think people are making more of it than it really is.... Jackie said it tonight on the post game show when Vince said he thought it was wrong for him to start Wolford when he said people seem to forget Goff just had three pins placed in his thumb less than two weeks ago and that it was the right call to start Wolford and use Goff only in case of an emergency while you let him heal up for next week...he said McVay didn't want to risk his $30m QB risking further injury to a very important part of your franchise QB
You could see Goff was bothered by it all day as he constantly had it in his hand warmer every chance he got , but I think he just gained more respect from his teammates by gutting it out and helped getting us that big win.....
Just as people said they'd be shocked if Goff played this week, I'd say the same thing about Wolford next week considering they actually took the dude to the hospital for a neck injury
I just hope that kind of hit doesn't effect how he plays going forward, but I wouldn't be shocked if it did
Plus the idea that Goff did not play well
all year is demonstrably false.
The guy puts in a gutty performance while hobbled by an injury to his throwing hand and people want to nitpick. Well exactly how do people think a qb looks when his throwing hand is injured. Think back to Warner as a possible example.
On Wolford though, he had a stinger, that's it, and going to the hospital was just a precaution. So we don't know that he's ruled out, and it's possible that Goff was set back by playing yesterday.
