But more often than not it is execution that is the problem. I blame McVay too for forgetting about the run, but this recent stretch of fans laying everything on him is a joke. We would be a 2 win team at best if we didn't have him and that includes his playcalling.
All that aside I'm fine with him giving it up. Just think this entire thing is being so badly overplayed it's become comedy.
I've always viewed criticisms of play calling like this........a play that works is a good call. One that fails is a lousy one. Simplistic view, but I don't think it's far off.
For instance the fourth down end around call to Kupp in the Super Bowl. If that gets stuffed it's the worst call ever and gets panned by Ram fans (probably including myself) forever. However it worked so it was a creative call that worked. I never liked the call but loved the result.
