I think whatever the QB said was coming from a place of trying to save face.
This has nothing to do with Goff.
It's whether McV acted the right way in a head coaching situation.
Consider it any other way and you're evading the real issue.
This off-season alone, a few different times, head coaches and GMs have had to discuss their qbs standing in pressers. Are we sticking with our old guy? Is trading up to draft a qb mean the old one is done? And so on. Every single time, the team representative doing the talking said things like "we've discussed this with him," or "he knows where we stand on this we've talked about it." That is the normal, respectful way to handle that situation.
Why couldn't either McV or Snead recognize that? There is no good reason for it.
And they don't have to tell him about the trade (one of the big mistakes the "post multiple times per day against the McV criticism" types made was to assume the criticism was that Goff should have been told a trade was in the works. First, no one ever said that--it was worse than a strawman, it was a phantom strawman. 2nd, again, Stafford's availability for a trade was not known until after the regime basically declared all positions were open for competition, by which they meant the qb spot--so the "right now" remark had nothing to do with any trade).
The issue is that people like myself want the team to act with class and professionalism, and that moment just plain looked bad, as many have pointed out. They are as open to criticism as any player.
