Your wrong. It's not about Goff. Sometimes I just get a feeling about a person. Often its unfair to the person which I later find out. Nevertheless, that's how I feel about the HC. So I'm as open to the possibility that coaches on his staff didn't like him as I'm open to the possibility that I'm dead wrong on that

Yeah people who may have criticisms of McVay--even tentative ones, like yours, which you basically are saying you are open to new info--have met with, and likely will still meet with, this: the motives smear where someone says, you're just bitter about Goff.

As a motives smear it has about the same value as any other motives smear. Namely, none. It has no value.

Oh balogna, ZN. I'm not smearing or discounting or any other ulterior motive you try an place on anyone that doesn't agree with you.

I have had a pleasant back and forth with Waterfield about this situation and no one needs you to interpret it so we can understand what's really being said.

I'm not pulling my opinion out of the ether. Waterfield has been posting very negative thoughts related to the Goff trade and that's fine. It's also fine to question why he seems to feel so strongly about it and he's explained himself. He's got a gut feeling about McVay and I'm fine with that. I don't agree with it but I understand it and accept it. I happened to feel the same about Goff. There was just something there about it him that to others would seem ridiculous or ludicrous, but my gut reaction to him was just instinctively negative.

Actually, two examples that always bothered me about him were 1) his favorite player being Joe Montana. I never believed that to be true. It just doesn't make sense to have a favorite player who retired before you were born and I'll probably never believe it was true. 2) Putting on a Dodgers jersey and throwing out the first pitch in LA. He is a lifelong Giants fan. I'm a Dodgers fan and you asked me to put on a Giants jersey, I wouldn't do it. So, it made me question his character right from the start. He could have easily worn a Rams jersey or street clothes to throw out that first pitch.

Granted, these are just things to me but they are important to me in evaluating a person. How someone represents themselves as a sports fan holds some value to me. Goff failed on two different occasions and forever just made me question how genuine he really was. Not saying he is a bad person but he seemed too much like politician or something.
