He's a good offensive mind and they had some complete teams, but the whole bounty gate thing is not the kind of culture you want.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This team's schedule has been charmed. With the sad sacks they've been shoving around, it doesn't matter that their qb is mr irrelevant. Any body will do. This past week they played the burned out husk of the Cardinals - a team on QB 3 - who quit on their coach. Now they get a mediocre Seahawks team. A team that barely beat half a rams team (we have no offense) in a game at home - with the pby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't mean this in any kind of derogatory way. It's more of a concern. It's not the 70's anymore where people were just told to suck it up and there was shame around real psychological issues. These issues effect millions of 'normal' people who look fine on the outside and are no joke. There are players who have had to courage to come forward and discuss things publicly.

There's a reason the Rams went after him and offered so much. Baker is not an upgrade at this point.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Consistency - week in and week out. Can he play at a high level for long stretches? Can you count on him when things get tough. I don't think he's shown that yet.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

if he is offered a guarantee to start and the money's ok - I imagine he'll bolt. And he should. He's young, but you only have so many years and he was the guy, so I would imagine he wants to be the guy again asap. Of course this all depends on what kind of tape he puts down in the next 2 weeks. If it's really good, he may get an offer, if it's somewhere in between or good and bad, his priceby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll say it again, this old dude's posts are bonkers. And not in a good way. Tell Stafford when he's going to retire? Sure, I'm sure that's how it works. Not only has he done a complete medical workup on Stafford and knows everything about concussions and spinal contusions, but he can also see into the future and knows how many he will get.

I really appreciate the shout out. There are some really fantastic posters on this board who add much more than I do. Youngblood, Albany, Alloyasham-wow (sorry I forgot how to spell it), and deadpool to name a few. Like real insight into formations, schemes, and so much in depth coverage on the draft and then roster evaluations. So much more to learn, often times more than you'll get from Tuby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

The gameplan against green bay might have been great, but the offense couldn't get out of it's own way. So instead of 'it was the best gameplan of the year' I would counter with the players did the best job of executing the gameplan that was given to them so far this year. Again, I'm not in the meeting rooms during the week, looking at film, I'm not in the huddle, I don't know what the play wby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That is a mistake, I think. Games are not computer simulations. Players make mistakes, there is a psychological aspect. It was a great gameplan considering the hand we were dealt these last few weeks. When you're forced to change gameplans and schemes on a weekly basis due to injury and poor play, it's kind of hard to look super smart all the time. Also, it was pretty clear that the Broncosby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

This author - Oh lookee here - the coach I thought was exposed and overrated 'finally' stopped being an idiot and called a great game. So that's what happened? And the game unfolds every week exactly as the coach draws it up and if something doesn't work it's all a dumb game plan and not because of execution, what the defense is giving, who's hurt, etc.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's not the same QB (almost no one is) when he's running for his life. So if a team wants to sign him as a starter they better have an O-line in place. Big difference in how the O-line played yesterday vs at Green Bay. Baker looked like the old Baker in that one. The cold didn't help.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Even Romo was talking about how special he is as a coach and play caller. For whatever reason - the line suddenly gelling like intstant pudding or the broncos quitting before the opening kickoff, there was time to throw and make reads and run for more than a yard. Plays worked. And kept working. And short fields. How great to see a few short fields? That seemed like a combo of an awful russby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And has. This year (abnormal record of Rams and Packers aside): And in the past with, say, Sean Payton. Coughlin used to call defensive plays with the Giants I believe. Everyone loves Shanahan and he calls his own plays yet has a solid overall team performance It did work the last 5 years for us, but maybe a change would be good. Have to have an OC as good as Sean though. Like mindeby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm not going to pay 65 bucks a month to stream tv and then pay extra for the nfl sunday ticket. I have DTV and it's fine. Probably too expensive, but fine. Mostly it works. They've been giving away sunday ticket for a while now. Would be nice if nfl network kept the redone channel on dtv.

So what, exactly, does he need to change? We've had good offensive lines, and good offenses and won a lot, and most teams don't use a fullback so I'm not sure why someone suggested that. There is a large trove of evidence reinforcing what this coach and front office has done has worked - and a lot of people giving advice on what they should be doing.

It's clear that there are several poster who just don't like McVay - never have and never will. Kind of odd given if you're a fan of the team and they have been great under him, but there's not pleasing some I guess. I was never a fan of Fisher - even from day one. Didn't like bs preseason victory nonsense. He seemed to bring in a lot of bone-headed players and the team had a rep for cheap shby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
What was left - Higbee and Donald? So yes, McVay built and shaped this team. And he has drafted some good players given their draft position. Ever hear of Cooper Kupp? And you have to look at draft picks in the light of trades. So he used firsts and other picks on Ramsey, and Stafford, A-Shawn Robinson etc - so that looks like a winning formula to me.

The 'ol drop a flaming bag of dog poop and ring the doorbell. Some gems in these 2 posts from board trolls - McVay just runs what he wants and doesn't want to win as long as he gets the team to do his bidding. Coaches aren't any good at coaching they just put in a scheme and run it. You have to run the ball to win.
