but doesn't that still mean that McVay can adapt to the style of QB he has? I would think it does.
Absolutely. I've never subscribed to the position that McVay can't or doesn't adapt to the style of his QB. In fact, I think a lot of the offensive changes we've seen this year are due to McVay adapting to the QB.
And it was a minor point, part of a much larger point, and it's being dragged out of context, but either way--but still, tell me all the plays McV adapted from the Cal Air Raid for Goff the way Reid adapted plays from Texas Tech for Mahomes.
Does McVay even strike you as the kind of coach who would consider that? While absolutely Reid is.
I think as McVay matures he will be less rigid that way.
...
I do think that McVay has some areas of rigidness. I've spoken of them before.
But for me, it was taking things way too far to say that he doesn't adapt to his QB.
Maybe he doesn't adapt at his stage of development the way Reid does but there is more than one way to adapt and I think he's done quite a bit of adapting in other ways.
Naw that was you reading too much into a simple comment and then fighting your own shadow creation.
He can be rigid, he also does not tend to use the qb's prior experience to develop things for him to fit more comfortably into the offense. If we agree on that much then you really don't disagree with what I was actually saying.
It would take some kind of serious idiot to not factor in the qb's ability to run, and conversely he never designed the same kind of frequent qb running plays for Goff--who doesn't fit them. So I wasn't saying he was an idiot. I was saying that he does not adapt to the qb's history as a qb the way Reid does. That's why my comment about Reid was so essential--it set the context for what I was talking about. People who misread often pull sentences out of context. The context was provided by the Reid example.
I suppose I could be more clear but sometimes you don't anticipate how people will take things so you don't make an effort to say and here's what I am not saying. I thought mentioning Mahomes, Reid, and the Air Raid would make all that clear.
And again--that was all a minor part of a bigger point anyway.
