The 70's Rams were great but they lacked that star QB. Perfect historical example of why McVay made a move. All of us can argue whether the Rams handled it well, but the bottom line was that McVay thought Goff wasn't going to bring to the table what was needed to get his team to the Super Bowl.

I wish the 70's Rams could have done the same.

Enh. He was impatient with a 5th year qb. Shrug.

The 70s Rams would have been great if they had even the 5th year Goff.

5th year Stafford was not that much better (he had just as many bad games as 5th year Goff) and that's in spite of Stafford's excellent physical gifts.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying in this exchange above. NMR said that the bottom line is McVay thought Goff wasn't going to bring enough to the table to get back to the SB. Your response was that McVay was impatient with Goff as a 5th year QB and that even 5th year Stafford wouldn't have been any better.

I take from that response that McVay was impatient with the typical and expected development of a 5th year QB. I.e. Given the emphasis on the 5th years, it appears to me from this exchange that his impatience concerns the QB's level of development rather than the manner in which he handled the QB.
