"Goff is trying to paint McVay into a corner"
To me that means he is intentionally doing something to McVay when its equally consistent he's pissed he's not starting and that come through in response to questions. His answers may "result" in putting McVay in a tough spot but who can say he said what he said with the "intent" on putting McVay on the hot seat. Everything I've read and heard about Goff tells me he wouldn't do that. Be pissed at not starting -of course. Having that emotion come out in an answer to question-of course. It's the intentionally doing it to hurt McVay was how I read the post. I would not have even responded if it read instead" Goff's anger at not starting puts McVay in a tough spot". It's saying that Goff did that FOR that purpose is what I object to.
Plus what kind of coach would actually allow himself to be put in a tough spot by those kinds of statements. I mean maybe a petty child would react that way, but a coach who knows he has to make hard choices? Nah. I think better of McVay than that.
Besides what are the odds McVay DOESN'T know that Goff is a competitive guy who would both (1) do all the right things and play his part well, and (2) would chafe at not starting, injury or no injury, cause he is just THAT competitive and into it. Odds are McVay knew all that BEFORE he told Goff that the medical issue left him no choice but to give Wolford the practice reps all week.
There's just nothing here. It's all a non-story. Competitive qb plays his role the right way AND doesn't like not playing, smart coach knows all that and is far from being affected by the qb expressing those feelings.
Plus of course the coach saw his gutty qb go out and play anyway, tough it out, play within his injured self, and contribute to a win.
The way I see it, there are just no drama queens in this story. On either side.
