I think it offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain of how McVay coaches in private vs in public. This isn't so much about Goff for me as it is simply being a McVay fan.
It even goes as far as a "team source" said that there started to be unrest because they would get their asses chewed over mistakes but McVay wouldn't say much to Goff for a long time.
I like Goff but he hasn’t been the same since the SB. The thing that frustrates fans, and apparently McVay too, is his inability to create on his own. If the article is to be believed McVay wanted Jared to see the things McVay was seeing and to react accordingly. Part of that is McVay’s ego, he believes in what his offense can do but he came to the conclusion that Goff wasn’t able to run the offense to it’s potential.
This is probably one of the clearest, cleanest views of what transpired.
Mcvay knew what goffs weaknesses were before he signed off on extending him so I'm not gonna hear anything about his inability to "create on his own". If that's what he wanted he shouldn't have extended him. You cant berate a player in private/in front of the team about turnovers then get frustrated about him not throwing down field. Goff has never been afraid to look down field until mcvay started berating him and that much is obvious to me. Mcvay needs to learn to leave his ego at the door and actually communicate with the players. It seemed like Mcvay/goff had a difference of opinion on how the offense should be ran and imo mcvay should've been more willing to listen to his QB because he's the one actually on the field. Doesn't matter much now because goff is gone but this micromanaging egomaniac shit needs to stop now or we as fan will never see a sb with mcvay. Sometimes you gotta let the players play, players messing up is a part of that and it's his job to coach/build them up and not tear them down mentally. He failed at that imo.
Hard to do your job to the best of your abilities if your boss is criticizing you in front of your coworkers. You're basically a target at that point and even the tiniest thing you do wrong will get magnified by 100x. That's why you never do that in a leadership position ever.
Rams win= Team game.
Hopefully Campbell doesn't make the same mistake mcvay made. It's very counter productive and doesn't accomplish anything. Hopefully mcvay learns from this mistake.
Yea sorry man I'm not buying that. Idk if the article is true or not but if it is then there's zero excuse for the way mcvay handled it. His job is to build players up not tear em down. Just because other coaches do that doesn't make it ok. I have serious concerns with mcvay when it comes to developing a young qb now and I thought I would never have that concern. I highly doubt Stafford will take that shit from mcvay like goff did and I'm concerned with how mcvay will handle his quarterback telling him to fuck off. Hopefully he handles it like a boss.
You can hold on to that quote like a infant if you want but I'm not buying that. It's one thing to criticize and it's another to place blame on a player for a loss which is exactly what mcvay did after the 2nd niner game. Poor leadership by mcvay in that moment. That 1 press conference makes that quote your trying to push false.
