Re: I think this hire is about letting Mcvay get back in the lab....

one thing McVay mentioned in his end of year press conference was how he himself has to get back to being a better play caller ...it seems like he's eager to get back to work on this offense

I think this hire is about letting McVay get back in the lab and do just that and let Raheem run the defense, kinda like what he did when he brought in Wade.
I'm already excited for April!!!

though we didn't get to our final goal, I still feel this year was success and will go a long way in making us even better...still the youngest team in NFC and lots to look forward to

Problem is, playcalling doesn't all come from the lab, a lot of it comes from in-game sense of the situation and instincts. I don't think you can develop those except by doing it, and if you have problems in that area (and he does) it could be you never fix it, you're just always who you are. If McVay has a flaw--besides the fact that he stresses out--it might be that he is a chalkboard guy and doesn't have the feel for the game as it's happening sense that great playcallers have.

And to be honest I doubt he spent that much time on the D with Staley. If that's true then hiring Morris doesn't give him more time.
