When you say that part about Rivers and go with you think Jared has been good and can get better IMO you need to look past just Jared. What Jared does impacts more then himself, or the HC....it impacts everyone of the guys out there on the field with him. I would find it very hard, actually impossible to wait for a guy to come around because you have a bunch of other guys who have just as much to lose.
It's not like Jared is out of the game, IMO he's gotta a lot harder road ahead...he's going back basically to the Fisher days (until and IF Holmes and Co. can right a inept ship)......The problems he had here will multiply unless he gets a grasp of certain principles....nobody is going to really wait on him, IMO he needs to get on that bus and ride it or he'll get left.
As far as the ego that McVay has, IMO a lot of that ego he has he wants in his players as well. I think it's more a hunger to be among the best, not to be the one and only, but to be considered in that group in football history.
