I have been openly critical of McVay, and his inability or unwillingness to adapt. But I think he is a good leader. The guys like him, he commands the room from everything I've read, and he just seems to have that "it" factor.
That said, at some point, he is going to, as a leader, have to walk into Snead and Demoffs office and say: I do not care how you massage the cap, or who has to be reworked or cut or whatever. Get this team more talent for the OL and you do it this offseason. Because his entire offense is being held captive by a sorely overmatched offensive line. And it was overmatched before NB went down.
