That it was almost all coaching was very evident to me by the fact that the only hits they did have in the draft were on the D side of the ball where good coaches and scheme were in place.
If the Rams succeed going forward, which I have no doubt they will, that offense will include (or at least presently includes) one carry over from 2010 and at least 5 guys who were drafted from 2015-16. Compare that to Pete Carroll in Seattle. By the time Carroll started winning (in his 3rd year) not one single offensive starter remained from before he was there. For that matter with the Vermeil Rams, in 99 they had a total of 2 starters on offense who were there from before the time he was hired (it's Miller and Bruce...though Conwell was injured in 99).
And since they were young in 2015-16, it's hard to say they "didn't develop."
Now if you just rest on saying that McV and his staff are as a group better coaching offense, I doubt anyone would disagree. But then I also think that's true of McV and his staff v. much of the entire league.
....
I agree that players drafted in 2015-16 were still developing but neither of the main two players in Goff and Gurley were looking good at all. Now it's night and day.
I've seen enough to convince me that the previous regime could identify talent but on the offensive side of the ball they couldn't coach/teach and didn't have an effective scheme to make players successful.
