I agree with this statement. Goff struggled mightily against teams that had the right personnel to run the 6-1 defensive alignment. It is something that Mcvay did everything he could to help Goff suceed. After the Miami, Frisco and Jet games, Mcvay had enough.
I don't agree with this at all. For one thing McVay himself said that Tampa ran a lot of the same things Miami did but the Rams and Goff ate it up.
Goff graded out pretty well against the blitz actually. That includes against Tampa. In fact he had a better qb rating against the blitz than Stafford did in 2020 (101.0 v. 86.point-something).
The 6-1 messed with the run game and it is THAT aspect that McVay needed to figure out.
Here's McVay on the Tampa game.

McVay also noted that the Bucs’ defense “did some similar things” as Miami did three weeks earlier — meaning the types of pressures and blitzes — which the Rams knew would happen
What exactly is your disagreement? Are you disagreeing that McVay got fed up due to the Miami and Frisco games? Or are you disagreeing that McVay had a good reason to be fed up after those games?
If it's the former, Jourdan, who you've described as an access reporter with knowledge of internal Rams thinking, has already said that the Miami and Frisco games were critical in McVay's thinking of wanting to move on.
