not a good enough reason? seems like a pretty dran good reason to me.

and while goff and gurly were a year early i dont think cooks was (if i recall correctly). further i dont have a problem signing goff early. the drafting of goff (along with the arrival of mcvay) coincides with the ascendance of this team. i understand and agree that he didnt have a great year. we can (and have, and probably will continue to) debate the reason for those issues, but he deserves at least some credit for making this team a perennial playoff team. thus solidigy the qb position was the right move at the time even if it didnt work out in retrospect. look at the redskins. they didnt want to sign cousins and they are still searching for a qb. if you dont have a competent qb you dont have anything. look at the playoffs, brady (ugh), rodgers, mahomes (maybe) and allen (young guy who had a great year).
