Point 4. Your reasoning for #4 I turn around and do it this way--McVay adapts to his chalkboard, he doesn't adapt to his qb. Someone recently mentioned that the minute he got Mahomes Reid put in some spread plays from the college Air Raid. I can't imagine McVay ever doing that. He seems to get tone deaf about game situations and about in-game tactical stuff and about things like building around the strengths of his players (this is real but I don't want to overstate it). An example of this came last year with Higbee. The TE they were originally trying to get more targets was Everett. not Higbee. Everett then got hurt and so they handed that mantle to Higbee, and he dominated--he was a revelation. When asked if he was surprised by that, Gurley said no--none of that was a surprise, everyone already knew about Higbee just from practice. Gurley's snarky implication was that it just took McVay a long time to use him. It's also the case that Goff has always been a learn it by doing it kind of guy and McVay gave him a new offense without a real installation. In fact here's a guy who is supposed to be this qb guru and right now there's talk that he undermined Goff's confidence. That's on the coach. A great coach when it comes to handling players in situations like this can convey the criticism without undermining the player. Every player is different and you reach them different ways. If you don't know how to do that you're just a control freak who loses patience when people don't fit into your square holes. Is there some of that in McVay? Yeah I think, a bit...but again I don't want to overstate it.
So those weren't designed runs from Wolford I saw in the Arizona game? Interesting. I think McVay is more flexible than you think. Im also curious as to why the Rams have 2 very mobile QBs on the roster in Perkins and Wolford...
In 4 years have you seen anything from the Air Raid or Goff's college experience on offense built into the Rams offense? Reid did that with Mahomes.
Meanwhile you can factor in running plays for a qb who runs without knowing anything about his college offense.
Though it helps if you remind him not to lead with his head.
