The "QB Whisperer" and "boy genius" label McVay was given does not seem well-earned.
- McVay did not develop Goff and Goff is exceling in Detroit.
- The Rams young back-up QBs have been a complete trainwrecks since McVay took over.
- McVay's offense has experienced a steady downhill trajectory and his play-calling competence has been questioned and critiqued by many.
- Stafford was a stud veteran with elite arm talent when he arrived in LA and then coupled that with an insane chemistry with an All-Pro WR Kupp they barely pulled off that SB run.
- McVay's assistants that have become HCs have done quite well against McVay in head-to-head match-ups.
Seems like the narrative of QBs being coached by McVay being an amazing opportunity is more hype than reality. Lets not forget, 2021 required an ALL-IN approach with a "Dream Team" sacrificing several years of top draft picks and extreme cap hit and then barely beating a weak SB opponent in the Bengals.
I think the brilliance of extraordinary talents like Stafford, Kupp and Donald had faaar more to do with the magic that year than McVay's coaching or play-calling.

He can work on perfecting his craft as an NFL QB.
He can do what Mayfield should have done.....Play behind Stafford with an offensive minded HC.....Work out and get stronger and healthy....Learn McVay's playbook forwards and backwards.....Then, when his time comes to start, he takes over with a fresh start and the chance to return as an NFL starting QB.
IMHO.....Wentz stays a Ram and the Rams and McVay are set at QB for at least the next 5-6 years!!!.....That would be perfect!
