About the kind McVay words about the departed Watkins...
When has McVay NOT had kind words about his departed players?
Sky is blue, water is wet, McVay says nice things about his former players. Lol.
C’mon...
McVay was saying these words the minute the season ended.
AND? His words were backed up with facts like the Chiefs fan, B&G, and others have posted here.
And now you have Snead's words.
It's not that difficult. Watkins WAS a big part of the offense and there will be a big void.
At the risk of repeating myself, when has McVay NOT had kind words for a departing player? Or a possibly soon-to-be-leaving player? Plain old common sense coachspeak.
My point is that kind words are expected from McVay 100% of the time. Therefore, they are not necessarily evidence that he wouldn’t do the exact same thing again and again.
For the record, I think the insane money offered by the Chiefs was the backbteaker for the Rams.
You make it sound like McVay has been coaching for 10 years. It's only been one 43! LOL
How many departping players has he had!!? 4?
So what's he said after TruJ left? Did he laud his importance to the D? Go ahead, tell me. I'll wait...
What about Cody Davis? Anything?
Barwin? He's praised his leadership. Nothing on his football production or impact on the D.
McVay hasn't had enough departing players to make some generalization about his methods. And even if it was coachspeak, no one forced him to say that he will leave a big void, or anything at for that matter.
As I said, no sale on the attempt to minimize the words of praise.
Watkins is someone McVay is truly going to miss and will leave a big void in his absence. And he knows that.
