So many key points in her article, some that settle debates we've had here.
Here are a few nuggets:
- She confirms the offense was changed for Goff, not the OL. It was supposed to reduce turnovers but that didn't happen.
- Sean McVay does not and did not want a short passing game. He wants more explosives. Again, he only changed to accommodate Goff.
- The Wolford start mattered. It wasn't that he played better but that he showed what was possible with a mobile QB who made good, quick decisions.
- Turns out McVay did have an issue with Goff's decision-making and processing speed. Quick decision making and processing speed are some of the qualities he appreciated about Wolford.
- McVay felt that Goff was holding the offense back. Not the OL, not the scheme.
- They did not feel that Goff was a QB that could get them through the gauntlet of tough playoff games and contend for Super Bowls every year. They felt what we did this year was pretty much the max.
- There was starting to be player frustration in the locker room in the 2nd half of the season due to Goff's underwhelming performance.
- Trading 1st round picks for established stars is a roster-building model that they have fully embraced.
