This part of the article really caught my attention; 'But his frustration was warranted. Goff was slow to process things on the field, particularly in the seconds after the snap.

It's not unusual for 5th year qbs to struggle. Stafford did.
This part of the article should have caught people's attention:

The Rams’ previous two quarterbacks coaches — LaFleur and Zac Taylor (now the Cincinnati Bengals’ coach) — provided buffers between McVay and Goff.
McVay would be able to get his message, no matter how tough, to Goff through the quarterbacks coach, ensuring no disruption to the relationship.
“Sean is an amped-up guy; Jared was always calm and collected,” a team source said. “I thought they balanced each other out.”
But as the 2019 season progressed without the desired results, McVay began to coach Goff more directly and their dynamic began to slowly unravel.
“Sean got more involved, was tougher on Jared and didn’t realize that he wasn’t building him back up,” a league source said.
...
Goff complained to others about McVay and vice versa. The two wouldn’t sit down often enough to hammer the issues out, a league source said.
On the sideline, where emotional outbursts are not uncommon, “It gradually became more hostile, with McVay cussing out Goff, and Goff would feel crushed,” a league source said
“Sean lost touch with how much he was breaking Jared down, but there’s got to be the build back up,” a league source said. “[McVay] was either unaware or disinterested in protecting Jared’s confidence.”
In the trade aftermath, McVay admitted to communication breakdowns with his quarterback.
