Jared Goff, Sean McVay Reportedly Need ‘Marriage Counseling’

The good times in Los Angeles are apparently over, as the relationship between Rams Quarterback Jared Goff and Head Coach Sean McVay is strained. Reports have surfaced they’re relationship is no longer on good terms, and the only way to salvage it would be for them to get some counseling.

Via NFL.com: 

“We know John Wolford came in and they were excited about him when Jared Goff got hurt and the way he performed, and then he got hurt,” Wyche said. “So I think a lot of people are wondering if they’re going to bring in a veteran type of quarterback to push Jared Goff this offseason. Or at least have that threat there as a backup to see if they can elevate Goff.

“The people I’ve spoken to said basically, at this moment, the relationship with Goff and McVay: not great. They need marriage counseling is what one person said to me. I think this is something that they’re going to be able to work through, but there’s got to be some healing and that’s not just with Jared Goff’s injured thumb.”

As of now McVay hasn’t committed to Goff: 

“For me to fully answer that, I think those are conversations that you have between (you and) your players first,” McVay said Sunday, when asked what he needs to feel confident in Goff going into 2021, via the team’s official site. “To be able to have the right plan of attack, I think you’ve got to be able to take a step back, evaluate the entirety of it. What I will say that you certainly can’t take away, that I mentioned to you guys each the last couple of weeks, (is that) for him to come back from a thumb surgery, do what he did in Seattle, do what he did yesterday, it’s a real credit to him, his competitiveness, his resilience. I think there’s a lot of positives from that.”

Goff finished the season  with some decent stats, throwing for 3,952 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, a completion percentage of 67 and a 90 passer rating.

Not terrible stats at all. If anyone can fix this relationship it’s McVay.

The guy is a football whisperer.
