1) In all seriousness I know you go back and forth on him... you have always been more emotionally invested in him because he was always your guy from the beginning. I didn't have that and was skeptical and needed him to win me over. So I get it believe it or not
2) I think at the very least they need to bring in competition. HAVE TO!
3) A trade for a Watson or Stafford ...how does that happen? Right now it just doesn't even seem possible. However signing Cooks, Peters, Talib, Suh, trading up for Goff, trading for Ramsey... none of those things seemed likely. <shurg>
4) We just don't know whats going on in that locker room. Max I'm telling you they have AD and JR just ballin' out man... getting paid at the top of their positons and absolutely earning it. Then you have Goff who simply isn't coming close to producing at the level of his contract. You have these two WRs you are paying all this money too. My gut just tells me McVay has to manage that and how can he not get on Goff when he is not anywhere close to pulling his weight. Obviously, I'm speculating but that would seem to be problematic to me.

I know we go back and forth on Goff, at least I do, mostly because I just can't figure him out.
I think Orlovsky is very fair here. Goff has strengths and weaknesses, and his weaknesses have clearly outweighed his strengths since mid 2018, barring that game in NO where he outplayed Brees to get us to the SB.
I am all for moving on from him with one reservation. We will take a huge hit in CAP and draft capital to dump Goff and I juxtapose that with the possibility that Goff steps it up next year and becomes a better version of Matt Ryan. Its been said that drop back QBs really start to flourish when they're in the 27-30 year old range. I'm skeptical that it happens for Goff, but there is that risk. If we never gave him that big contract I would just let him walk, but we're stuck with that money anchor now. I dunno, maybe its just best to rip the bandaid off.
I don't blame McVay for being exasperated with Goff, and maybe McVay has gotten to the point where he has a clear idea of what he wants at QB, and its different than it was 2 years ago. It's his offense. Ultimately, McVay gets the blame if it doesn't work, so I'm good with whatever he decides. But if he goes in another direction, and it doesn't do well, and Goff matures into a really good QB and wins a SB somewhere else, McVay gets the blame as well.
