Well, think about this for just a minute.
Tavon, GRob, and Watkins are all gone from McVay’s team. Just 3 big names off the top of my head.
All were very high 1st rounders. Gifted athletically, but all sorta struggled with the mental part of the game.
Bottom line, none survived more than one season under McVay. Watkins probably would’ve but for the contract demands, but it’s no secret that he wasn’t in total command of McVay’s playbook, so I think my point remains.
Anyway, it appears that McVay prefers “neck up” players. To a degree that surpasses most HC’s.
I think that future Ram mocks should factor in player football smarts. If not done, the mocks are already flawed.
