I was thinking about how far we gotta go back to where we had a team as good as this one.
I was thinking 2001.
That team had better talent on offense, but not on defense. These STs are better.
Then the coach. Right now, give me McVay over Martz. But the jury is still out on that one.
I am willing to vote on this one ahead of the jury coming in.
I think McVay is a better head coach than Martz. And it's kind of funny that if you list all the negatives for Martz, McVay is not just better, it's a positive strength of his. So every Martz negative ends up being a McVay superlative.
And that's not a slam on Martz. He was a flawed head coach but a good one.
Right now the best Rams HC in my era is Vermeil. It's entirely possible that McV may surpass DV on the list. Though it's different than what I said with Martz. McV seems to have all of DV's strengths and none of his weaknesses.
Right now McV is reminding me a lot of Madden.
My one fear is that he's too much like Madden and really will burn out.
....
While I do fear about burn out, there are other HC who were susceptible to it, including Walsh. Thats the guy I think of as a comparison.
Actually my best guess is a cross between Walsh and Joe Gibbs.
