In the end yes, but not initially. It was not until they hired Milquetoast Linehan did the OL begin to deteriorate.

Or somewhere in between. No one will know for several years how good or bad he'll be. Even Mendoza isn't a sure thing. No one is till they get a few years in. He could be real good under the tutelage of McVay and Stafford. Or he could be not so good.

The WRs were famously coached by Martz to hit the ground late in his tenure because he didn't want to lose them to injury.

Robert Mays keeps saying that he believes McVay saw what Purdy could do in the offense and wanted that. A guy who can read out the whole progression of the offense and do it on time while offering some athleticism to create if things go wrong.
Def need to mental part for that.
Mays has said he sees Ty's ceiling as a slightly stronger armed Purdy. I'd be quite happy with that.
McVay knew that going in. The Rams knew that about Goff when they drafted him. Not every QB is Mahomes. So that was not a primary reason they got rid of him.

Agree. Goff wasn't reading out plays the way McVay wanted and was not protecting the ball at the end of his tenure here when a play was dead and he should have just thrown it away - of course, having a QB who could create would mitigate that.
Being accurate for short passes is different than being accurate for midrange tosses. Furthermore, both of those is not the same as being accurate for long range heaves. So both of you may be right depending on what passing length range you are referring too.

Yeah, Goff tried his hand in hero ball despite not owning a cape. The result was a lot of dumb turnovers.

He has a tendency to melt down under duress. Detroit did a great job stacking a dominant line for him, which helped combat that, but I think they're still the team that is stuck with a QB who needs things to be perfect around him.
Ceiling: He is going to go down as the best Rams QB, ever.
Yeah I got faith in the kid!

Dieter Brock made it to the NFC Championship Game. So, anything better than Dieter should be good enough!
Yeah ... But ...
That 1985 Rams' Team was primarily a terrific running game and very strong Defense.
My memory was that the Rams had no passing game at all in the '85 Playoffs, so I did a quick check.
In the NFC Championship, against an all-time Great Defense, Brock was 10-of-31 for 66 yards.
In the Divisional Round, where Dickerson ran for 248 yards and the Defense shut-out the Cowboys (great win), Brock was actually worse ... 6-of-22 for 50 yards.
Seems like Brock was just about 6'0 183 cm, however, he did have two horrendous post season games both against the Cowboys and then the Bears.

Yeah, he was exposed in those playoffs. I remember being so excited when the Rams drafted Everett, who actually had the ability to throw the ball downfield. Dieter was so embarrassing. (Not you, @dieterbrock )
I would have even settled for this Dieter:
...over Dieter Brock. I would have been as happy as a little giiiirl.
But he never worried about his QBs getting crushed.
Thought I was pretty clear.....guess you dont have confidence in the kid....
