No. It took him years to tear Goff down, then not have the ability to build him back up again.

And here we go again. Taking bets on over/under for page count in the Sportsbook.

No, you got it all wrong. He got the most out of Goff he could. There were comments, concerning Goff's lack of confidence, from an ex-assistant (Taylor?) who said it was fine to tear down the QB but you have to be able to build him back up again and that didn't happen. Water under the bridge. He got a QB he didn't have to build up or tear down and he's done quite well with him. And we're all happy about it.

I wonder if people didn't understand the context of your earlier comment.

Yeah, McVay coached Jared hard and Jared doesn't have that dog in him to bounce back or even fight back. LaFleur and even Taylor were go betweens who softened the coaching from McVay and also could talk back to McVay, when they left there was no go between and no one to tell McVay to chill - Jared wasn't going to do it.

Johnson, in DET, seemed to have found a way to meet Jared in a more encouraging way when he makes mistakes. He also was able to do things to make Jared a better drop back passer than McVay - though one could argue that the oline played a big role there, making the opportunity for mistakes less likely.

Johnson seems to be ruffling a lot of feathers in Chi-town, heard he has been all over Caleb as well.
I get it that he wants to make his presence known but he's got to earn a little respect first
Why? Some head coaches only have 1 year, 2 at the most. He's gotta come in and make an impact immediately. If he bombs, he may not get a second chance.
