IMO you can have a team MVP who is not in the mix for a league MVP.....That's why a guy like SJD would be a nice guy to win the team trophy....leave the big boys to get attention league wide for their "hardware".
At the same time if SJD does overly well from his spot he can open up some surprising elevations all over the D, more so than just AD, Ramsey doing the same old same old duties.
Agree and I never said otherwise. I think if he's not the MVP of the Rams we're in trouble. But I am afraid he's gonna be that and more and hope not for the reasons I cited.
My fear with this offense is it will be too pass game dependent. McVay's problem all along has been a not-good-enough run game, mixed in with other probs of course. But the run game has hurt us in the postseason IMO just like Kupp's injuries and the OL play.
Scoring. (Which probably speaks to the run issue and the use of the run).
In 2020:
Rams were 19th in scoring percentage inside the RZ (TDs only).
Stafford inside the 20 had a qb ranking of 90.2, and inside the 10 had a qb ranking of 81.9.
Stafford inside the 10 had a scoring percentage of 40.7%, which ranked 21st.
(For those inclined to put it on Goff without looking, inside the 20 he had a qb ranking of 107.2, and inside the 10 had a qb ranking of 81.9; inside the 10 he had a scoring percentage of 50.0%, which ranked 5th. Whatever it was, it wasn't Goff.)So it looks to me like both McVay and Stafford have to improve in the RZ.
To be honest I don't put this on "having (or not having) a redzone threat" on offense. So I don't believe in the "redzone threat." I think it's a combination of execution, playcalling, and having a consistent run game the defense knows it has to account for.
