Riggo-toni Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 We once let John Schneider walk to make room for Vinny Bugeyes, but this might be even bigger. McVay has already surpassed Gruden in one regard - he hired the best defensive coordinator available. While it's no surprise the Rams offense would suck under Senor 7-9, it is extremely impressive how high scoring it has become - just barely below the greatest show on turf levels. Granted, this could be a Zorn beginning, but I am not writing it off as such - especially considering how anemic our post-McVay offense has become. So, each week I will be checking scoreboards to see if his fast start is a mere fluke, or a portent of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Colts and Niners stink. Let's see him when he plays, Seattle, Arizona, Carolina, etc. before we crown Wonderboy. And that vaunted Rams defense under Wade has given up 9, 27 and 39 while the Redskins and Niners have ran the ball on them with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yeah, you kinda do have to look at it in context. Two of the teams they played are two of the worst teams in the league. The one team they played that might be average, they lost. That said, Goff at least looks like an NFL QB. He didnt last year at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 At this point, it's more an indictment of Fischer and his ineptitude. Todd Gurley...are you kidding me?!? Theyre at the Cowboys next Sunday. That should be revealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm not annointing a dude after three games. Chip Kelly looked like a genius early too. I do think McVay will be a good one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm not anointing him yet either - hence the thread is tracking how he does to see if he turns out to be the golden boy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 One noticeable difference watching last night and watching the Redskins. The Rams ran the ball in the red zone. It wasn't always successful and they settled for a short FG once and passed for a 1 Yd TD on 3rd down. But Gurley ran it in twice from in close and I don't remember the Rams throwing 3 fades on 1st and goal ala Gruden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 For the season...Goff is 11-11 with 5 touchdowns in the Red Zone. Geez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehard Otis Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This is too premature. Year 1 is all about establishing your brand of football as the Head Man. The Rams weren't expected to do anything this season anyway (and they won't). Of course McVay wants to Win, but it's crucial that he infuses his vision for their Program first. I would be more interested in how the Rams finish down the stretch - Weeks 11 thru 17. But this year is about adjustment; for him and his team. Kinda hard to judge him under those circumstances.

Mr. Sinister Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The most impressive thing he's done so far in my eyes, is how he squashed the Aaron Donald stuff. Its rare that you see a new guy come in and be real like that, and get the best player on the team to buy in, especially as a first time HC. That goes a lot further than X's and O's ever will, because you see the Chip Kelly's and Josh McDaniels of the world, that want to come in and swing their dick around and bring law and order, bs that doesn't work in the 21st century unless you are Bill Bellichick, who due to the amount of jewelry he has alone, could keep anyone in line. I think he'll be a really good coach, and unlike several other snake ass **** coaches who have recently left here (who shall remain nameless), i wish him nothing but the best. He was a quality coach and person by all accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I picked them to be one of the surprise teams in one of the threads around here but I had no idea Goff would actually start looking like a real NFL QB. I just figured that with his offense and Phillips running an already good defense they'd win some games. Now the Seahags and Cardinals are falling apart and they might just win the division if they can win 1/2 of their division games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The Rams win is looking better and better. I really wish we could have somehow kept McVay as OC or been able to give him his first HC gig. I know it's early but he seems to have "it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The NFL wants parity, and while there is plenty of it every season, 2017 is shaping up to be the most parity we have seen in awhile. There just doesn't seem to be that same handful of teams that are in their own league. The Chiefs are 3-0, maybe after tomorrow night the argument can be made that they stand alone as THE elite team so far in 2017, but otherwise there doesn't seem to be any team that is incapable of being beat every week if a few bounces don't go their way, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If someone told me three years ago that Alex Smith and Chiefs would be the best team in the league one day, I'd have laughed in his face. If someone told me tomorrow that Alex Smith and Chiefs would be the best team in the league one day, I'll still laugh in his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with the above, but more on topic - Jared Goff went from 2.82 ANY/A (that's not just awful, it's Jamarcus Russell / Ryan Leaf levels of historical suckage) to leading the NFL with a Tom Brady-like 9.39 ANY/A. I thought McVay was making the same mistake Jay Gruden did, coming to an organization desperate to "salvage" an unprecedentedly terrible QB. I thought it would be his downfall and that he would be out of a job shortly because of it. Boy was I wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 33-0 shutout of the weakass Cards to go to 5-2. If Wade Phillips D is starting to take hold, this might be the team to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 McVay has been great but remember, Josh McDaniels started his career like 6-0 or something too. But I do think McVay is legit now.
