#1. Yes you can throw completions on third and long without a long dropback and that's what they did. However that's also the problem. A short dropback generally means a shorter pass and not a first down. Hence the issues with the play calling. The question is why those shorter developing plays were called more often than not. You would like everyone to believe it has nothing to do with Goff. While I was of a similar opinion at the end of the season it seems pretty clear that mcvay did not.
#2. Long series of deep dropbacks? I assume that means more than 1 deep dropback in a row but it's unclear how you define it. Nevertheless, any time a team becomes 1 dimensional (i.e., more than 1 deep dropback) execution becomes more difficult for obvious reasons. Im not sure how such a situation is unique to the rams.
#3. Sure. Its hypothetical.
#4. So it's your argument that the oline wad for the most part good in 2020 but at the same time blame the oline for not consistently protecting the qb and thats not inconsistent? Seems to me that you are trying awfully hard to deflect criticism away from this hypothetical qb.
