I like that he mentions his connection to Goff - saying he texted him regularly during the season about his play and to "stop forcing things" and that McVay was getting frustrated with all the turnovers.
He doesn't think the Rams are moving on from Goff.
There's 2 especially bad games where Goff had 7 turnovers--Miami and SF game 2. Goff was far from the only problem in those games but still. Since then? 6 games with 3 INTs (counting the 2 playoff games).
And here's what some people are never going to notice about that vid because they will over-focus on one bit.
Orlovsky said that the Rams got away from the kind of running game that opened up the field for them.
"Everything is always the qb" types will not notice that or factor it in.
Along with completely spacing the fact that they addressed the turnover issue and it STOPPED. If you can't account for that then this whole discussion is more about emotion than analysis. And it stayed stopped against a Green Bay defense that had the OL's number and according to one site also pressured the qb more than in any other Rams game McVay has coached. With all that, Tucker was talking about the good throws Goff made and Orlovsky was nodding in agreement.
It is virtually ALWAYS never as categorical, absolute, and cut n dried as some people try to make it.
I think people notice or realize that he hasn't had as many turnovers in recent weeks but that doesn't change two crucial facts.
Fact #1 - He leads the league in turnovers since mid-2018 with 49 in approx. 40 games.
Fact #2 - Over the course of this year he had 22 TDs, 13 INTs, and 4 FL for a TD/TO ratio of 1.29. That's horrible!
Contrast that TD/TO to the leagues other pocket passers in Brady, Rivers, and Brees:
Brady - 3.38
Rivers - 2.17
Brees - 2.45
I don't think McVay is grading Goff over the last handful of games. I think he's looking at his entire body of work over the years. It's not real analysis if you're just highlighting the last handful of games because that's favorable to him. That's more akin to apologetics.
