We'll never know and I don't want to start a board war here, but I think Snead and McVay were going to make some type of move at QB even without Stafford. From everything we know about these guys who are both super aggressive, they don't stand pat once they're dissatisfied. They're not the sink or swim or make due with a subpar solution type.
And make no mistake about it, right or wrong, McVay was dissatisfied with Goff and didn't feel he could win with him anymore. Reports are that's what he went and told Kroenke the second the season ended.
I agree with you that McVay is a bit impatient. Time will tell if that trait hurts him in the future.
