I'd bet that most, if not all Goff critics are not too happy about being "right". I admit that something about Goff rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning but I also had hoped, for the team and the fans, that the Rams had finally hit on a true franchise QB. Not that they hadn't had good QB's at one time or another but aside from Gabriel, they really hadn't had any longevity or stability in the position.
I may not have liked him personally, but I was right there with everyone else who was excited about the high level of play he and McVay delivered in '17 and the first half of '18. But then Goff just plateaued. A blueprint was established on him and he never got past it. I don't think any of us can accurately say for sure what the problems were but IMO, McVay isn't the issue. So, Goff needed to get better and evolve past what defenses were taking away.
After 2 years of that, McVay got fed up. As green and limited as he was, Wolford seemed to "see" things that Goff was missing and that only reinforced the idea that it wasn't McVay, but Goff who was stymied. The Rams paying a King's ransom to get rid of Goff further supports that line of thought. Maybe Goff proves all of that wrong and becomes Dan Marino down in Detroit but I just don't think that's reasonable.
Because when you add to the mix just how QB friendly McVay's system has been to a wide variety of QB's, it's difficult to come away with a conclusion other than it being Goff that is struggling.
