No way Goff was "blindside" by anything.
Yeah he was.
He had a long standing abusive relationship with the impatient coach, who as the source says, would yell at him and not care about the qb's input or confidence.
How was he supposed to know that suddenly that meant he was no longer considered the starter.
You do not let your franchise qb know his position is open through public comments only. You tell him.
You also, if you're the leader, do not count on him guessing it. You tell him. You say the team has concerns and the position is open.
He is not supposed to find that out by hearing public comments.
This is an issue having to do with the maturity and leadership of the head coach. Not everything in this story can be deflected on to the qb.
And lucky for us they got a 13 year veteran qb because McV is going to treat him very differently than a qb he has to develop.
