Fwiw, Goff was already performing at a similar level prior to Zac Taylor.  He had a 100.5 rating his 2nd year before Zac became QB coach.  He had a  101.1 rating the year Zac was his QB coach.  Those are almost identical numbers

If you look closely at the stats, you'll see an increase in yardage and TD's as a result of a McVay offense that passed more (65 more attempts in 2018 than 2017).  His TD % was higher without Zac than it was with him.  His Int % was lower without Zac than it was with him.  The YPA (Yards Per Attempt) is exactly equal at 8.5.  The YPC (Yards Per Completion) is exactly equal at 12.9

I don't really see that much improvement there.  And even if there is a minimal amount, you have to consider development from a 2nd year player to a 3rd year player, and a McVay offense.

Agree to disagree, but Zac Taylor gets way to much credit for Goff.   There's no huge leap there.

You asked the question and then answered it with the next sentence. Zac was getting plenty credit for improving the Ram's Offense to such a point that they made the Super Bowl. I personally didn't like the hire because I wanted someone more established and I thought Marvin was getting all he could out of the team; but Zac fit the young Offensive guru mold that was all the rage in the NFL.

I have no problem with shitting on the FO when they do stupid shit like keeping Zac, but it was obvious that Zac was a hot prospect when we hired him. When we try to shit on the good things they do we tend to lose our objectivity.
