i havent been one to bash goff. i liked him when he was here and i wish him nothing but the best with the lions. i hope he realizes his potential. however, picking up on this quote from mcvay, one starts to wonder if it was the inconsistency from goff that basically drove a wedge between him and mcvay. just a thought...
funny, that line stuck out to me also.....I like Goff and will be pulling for him too, but it is exactly that....he was just too inconsistent for someone like McVay who seems to be a perfectionist. He is still a young QB and that is a problem for a lot of QB's
To Goff's credit he had some very inconsistent coaching the last several years with all the QB coaching changes and we still won a lot of games with him.....
I'm very excited to see what a 13 year vet with a canon arm can do in this offense though
A lot of that inconsistency in 2020 came because of McVay, who was impatient with his qb and openly berated him. Like others, I saw confidence issues with Goff in 2020, and that came at least in good part from something a coach observed with the Rams--McV knew how to tear Goff down and not build him back up.
So I don't accept the "McVay got frustrated for reasons" argument because it very strongly looks like McVay himself was one of the primary reasons.
Another problem is acting like 2019 and 2020 were the same. Not saying you are doing that, just running with the topic. What you often see with those who bring 2019 into it is the absolute myth that a subpar or over-damaged OL does not or should not have an effect on qb play when it pretty much almost universally
does. What's even worse IMO is people who say "yeah I factor in the OL issues" and then don't--they just say they do. Because the actual conclusion you have to reach when you have substantial OL issues is that no, qbs as a rule (with some rare exceptions) do not overcome them. Heck in 2019, two other qbs had similar issues to the Rams--Ryan and Rivers. And it absolutely had an effect on their overall play. That's just 2 recent examples. For that matter, Stafford never overcame the OL issues in Detroit the years the Lions had those issues.
So acting like 2019 are the same thing is already careening off the solid analysis highway. And many do act like they are the same thing.
