We are not. See below. I'm saying that every good play-caller protects his QB by playing to his strengths (and the strengths of the players around him). Dxmissile is saying that Goff is being protected in ways other QBs aren't. That's definitely not saying the same thing.
What are we doing for Goff that other teams aren't doing for their QBs?
Over 34% of Goff's attempts this year have been 11+ yards down the field.
Every coach expands the playbook as the season goes on, that goes doubly so for a coach breaking in a new scheme.
I feel like we going in circles.
The poll asked was Goff making progress or the offensive line saving him.
I said that Goff is making progress because McVays system is protecting him. What’s so wrong with what I said. I also stated that McVay right now has a 2 progression offense with the running back as a safety valve. What’s wrong with that?? McVays offense is to give his Qb whether it was Cousins or Goff 2 quick reads to get the ball out of his hands quickly and into a playmakers hand.
You said what HC don’t expand the playbook when they are first time coaches with a young team but that’s exactly the point I’m making that’s why McVay call the plays he call because they are high percentage throws for Goff.it allows for easier reads when he drop back he knows he has a running back in the flat he knows he has a crosser and a decoy post route to bring the safeties up and his 2nd option running up the seam.
I guess you taking offense because you think when I say McVay is protecting him you think I mean it literally, like Goff don’t have anything to do with his own progression but that’s not the case.
McVay could have easily have Goff throwing the ball 40-50 times a game but we can’t win like that at least not yet and McVay learned that when we played the Seahawks that’s what I mean by him protecting Goff understanding that right now Goff needs to throw the ball no more than 30 times a games and if he do Gurley go have about 7 catches.
I don’t care about other QBs and what their head coaches do because some give their rookies free reign like Watson had like Luck like Wentz like Mariota like Kaep like Vick like Freeman like Both Mannings. The fact is history is littered with head coaches that don’t protect their prize QBs either with playcalling or throwing them in too early not protecting them from theirselves.
McVay is still learning Goff, the type of throws he can make what he can’t make if he is a rhythm thrower. So right now McVay play calling has been pretty conservative it just don’t seem that way because our playmakers are a lot better then in years past but 7.7 ypa attest to that. That’s pretty much the same as Bradford rookie year which adds to my point it’s in the head coach best interest to protect their QBs
If they want them to succeed. After the year Goff has he need this to continue building up his confidence
