My horrible misogynistic conspiracy theory: Ever since he went public with dating her, in the middle of the 2018 Super Bowl season, Goff hasn't really been good. I associate her with him being bad.

Rams' offense seems to go into a slump in the mid-to-late season every year. Like Sean McVay comes up with a lot of new wrinkles in the offseason and by midseason he's put them all on tape and opposing defenses are starting to figure them out.

Point here is that Goff struggled, Stafford is now struggling. So now, you get your upgraded quarterback, and he's struggling? Maybe it's the offense. https://t.co/4xmJXwe8l1

Matthew Stafford is who we thought he was.
Agreed. And the Rams took steps to improve the OL and WR corps after trading Goff, and yet Stafford is still having problems.Rtkbear said:
I think the Rams fans thought they were going to go 15-2 by getting rid of Goff when the reality is they don't have a particularly good offensive line and lack proven playmakers (besides Kupp). The thing that was annoying was everyone in LA and the media were talking about Stafford like he was some elite talent when he's more of a just above average qb.

It doesn't mean he can coach. Nevertheless, the problem Goff has is that he has never had the same position coach two consecutive seasons since leaving Cal.B.A. Bearacus said:okaydo said:

Totally willing to be on board with this narrative, but I think there's no need to leave out noteworthy details such as Jared's QB coach has won a Super Bowl and is in the Hall of Fame (Mark Brunnell, 2015 inductee to the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame).

She looks high maintenance. Pass.
Actually, they did nothing to improve the OL and the WR corps took a step back (losing Reynolds and Gerald Everett) . They then signed DJ to an absurd contract and drafted atwell who at best is a one trick pony. The rams think they are smarter than everyone else - the ultimate hubris. McVay and the gm can't imagine they are the problem so they blamed Goff among others.southseasbear said:Agreed.

I am loving every Stafford pick 6, serves the Rams right!!! Next up to go is Mcvay no doubt.
pretty fascinating. NFL folks I talk to they feel like McVay gets very predictible over the course of the season, with very clear tendencies (remember the crazy run/pass splits from shotgun vs. under center?). pressure is on to better self scout (and play better) https://t.co/k4b26xEKey

They traded Goff and two first round picks for... Stafford? Am I missing something?

No. It seemed stupid then and it is stupid now.

Goff, via McVay's backchanneling through the media, had a reputation as a complete non-entity. An utter robot. He couldn't think for himself. He was nothing.
The thinking goes that if the Rams could get that far with somebody so mediocre, what if they had somebody like Stafford?
And so the media built up Stafford to be this oppressed QB in Detroit who was finally going to unleash his greatness. Except, well,...
I also think perhaps that McVay, as a young guy, wanted to have the glory of the QB position. So the narrative that spread through the media -- whether through or not -- was that McVay was really playing QB and that he was basically playing Madden through Goff.
I remember Goff being asked about that reputation. And Goff with a "Goff"-like answer of saying "as long as we're winning, I'm fine." But I wonder if it affected him in any way? Imagine when you do good, the credit mostly goes to somebody else and when you suck, you get all the blame?
