"I’m a Great Believer in Luck. The Harder I Work, the More Luck I Have."
Often attribute to T Jefferson, though much debate over it.
But the point here is McVay and Snead worked harder and smarter than previous Rams braintrusts. The good luck they "fell into" is well deserved.
I think you are getting a LITTLE BIT on the "mentioning luck means dismissing something" side here. I warned folks about that.
I count it as a plus that on top of everything else, McV has good luck too.
I agreed with Sun's entire post. So no reminders about McV's top qualities needed. And plus I don't think Snead and McV worked harder than anyone else btw, I think they're just better at what they do so the work paid off more.
There are people who work hard and have BAD luck. So I don't buy the "work harder equals luckier" mantra. I like people who are GOOD, AND work hard, AND are lucky.
