It could have been McVay and his co-chief Wade that ok'd the extension and then changed their minds.
There's no way an extension would be done without their input. They may be most at fault.
I'm not sure about that 10X smarter stuff. They get no pass from me on this one.
The idea or hope that McVay will one day be a coordinator plus head coach, and then de facto GM and team president on top of it, is far-fetched.
They did not make mistakes like these in the past, and that's any past. They made mistakes but not like this. This is new.
In the same few months they traded a 2nd round pick for a guy on a one year and then did not sign and keep him before free agency began, and then cost themselves 6 M against the cap by extending a player they then traded.
Now that ought to be something they learn from, or I hope it is, but there is no reason to hope that in his early 30s McVay suddenly develops the institutional savvy of a Bill Walsh in his late 40s and 50s.
