Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) If the end result is both teams making the playoffs (with us having a MASSIVE disadvantage with New England in division) it's hard to say that mcvay's been more impressive. Flashier, yes. But more impressive? Edited December 19, 2017 by joesixpack
26CornerBlitz Posted December 19, 2017 Author Posted December 19, 2017 Sean McVay Endorses Todd Gurley for League MVP He'd be a solid choice.

To SW'sRib's point above I think it's infinitely harder to take a team with no winning culture and turn it around like that. And why can't we ding McDermott for not building around his preexisting talent that he inherited? If McVay didn't need to gut the roster like McDermott did than it's all the more impressive. He made his "scheme" fit his personnel. While McVay certainly deserves his praise, he took a fairly talented team in a fairly weak division and the added some more talent. Meanwhile the Bills are essentially in a rebuild and are competing for a playoff berth in a much tougher division. I know it galls many of you to admit it but McDermott is doing a great job overall. 1

McD has done a great job (ignoring the Chargers game). McVay has done a phenomenal job. Should be coach of the year. Edited December 19, 2017 by PetermanThrew5Picks

Jay_Fixit Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Well they sucked for years, drafted some studs, upgraded basically all of their receivers this year, added some good OL help. Oh, they also had the first overall pick last year and despite him having a pretty gross year, was playing with no weapons and a coach who last had a good season 10 years ago. So that first overall pick had some new weapons, some better OL help and an offensive minded coach to help him. McVay was the perfect choice for them, but it’s not all him. If McVay had last years team, I doubt they’d have 8 wins now. Edited December 19, 2017 by Jay_Fixit 1

Sweats Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 The Rams have been a team on the rise the past couple of years...........you could see they had a solid foundation with a pretty decent D and started building from there by providing some more offensive weapons (weapons that we provided, i might add). Some teams sink to the bottom and rise once again............and some teams just sink with never a chance for daylight again.

Woods, Watkins, Kupp, Whitworth were all on last years team? Ok man! Thanks for missing the entire point. Which you missed.
TigerJ Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 I'm sure the coaching is a major factor in the Rams improvement. I think the other factor is Goff. In retrospect, he probably needed a year to transition out of college and an unconventional offense before he was really ready to play in the NFL. Every QB is different. I personally don't expect that Tyrod will experience a miracle improvement in his QB play no matter who is the coach. He is who he is.

Thurman#1 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 This isn't a one-year turnaround. It's a team that's been putting together very good personnel for a while now. They have drafted really well the past few years. Were generally considered a QB away from competing for the Super Bowl. Has coaching helped make Goff look much better? Yeah, absolutely. Has Goff's second-year improvement made the coaches look much better too? Yup, without question.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 It was a combination of many things, the got better play on the OL, they got rid of Jeff Fisher who is a team killer to begin with and replaced him with a bright, young offensive mind in McVey, adding Wade Phillips as DC was huge and although I'm not a Watkins fan the combination of he/Woods and Kupp takes the pressure off Gurley who is having a monstrous year and the #1 reason is because Goff took the next step needed as a QB, he is turning himself into a franchise QB for the Rams.
