What change in your mind and in the organization's mind regarding

to Gary?

You know, I don't know that really a lot changed. I mean, there's just so many things

that have taken place since then, Gary. I think what I would say that I've learned over the last handful of years is things changed

by the day and you probably want to be careful making blanket statements when you can't predict

the future.

I think the unfair narrative has been that some of our decrease in production is exclusively

on the quarterback.

That's not true at all.

I think certainly I have a big hand in that. I have to be able to look myself in the mirror and acknowledge and be able to evolve and prove and take ownership in that. I do know that the head coach and the quarterback are the ones that always, sometimes you get too much credit or too much blame, but I'm not going to run away from the blame that's deserved on my end. But what I do think is important is that, you know, the narrative becomes, all right, oh, this

is the outlet for why the offense wasn't what it was.

That is, that's, that's unfair to Jared.

And I think it's disrespectful to what he's done over the last four years.

You know, Peter, we've seen press conferences and, you know, there's all sorts of tells and the deep breath by Sean McVeigh.

Like, man, how am I going to answer this question without saying what I really think about Jared Goff?

How am I going to answer this question that I knew was coming?

Yeah.

I still can't figure it out.

I've been thinking about it for two days.

God, hey, that's, you know, anytime it starts with, who, you know what comes next.

It's going to be entertaining, but maybe all not, not that all enlightening.

Hey, and I appreciate that these coaches and general managers are doing media availability on their own.
