And I think there is some truth in it.... that Goff missile-locked on Kupp. I didn't see it that way, however.
First.. Kupp is good, one of the best route runners in the game IMHO... damn right he's going to get open often.... any QB not appreciating that quality in Kupp is a damn fool, IMHO. Any QB worth his salt is going to find the open guy a high % of the time. And Goff was far from a bust or a fool.
At the same time... I saw Kupp "open" and ignored by Goff as much if not more that the rest of the WR's. I can remember many times cursing my TV because Goff didn't see Kupp either free or breaking free and I remember few times, very few, I thought "he's going to Kupp too much".
If Kupp is healthy, and playing his best, I couldn't care less how many times he goes to Kupp and gains yards. For that matter... I don't care how many times he goes to Woods, or DJ, or Tutu, or Higbee. Hit the open guy. Move the ball. Score.
I know what you mean by "missile-locked", and that's a bad quality in a QB... agreed, I just don't think it was the case with Goff and Kupp. - JamesJM
