Winning back the locker room will be a challenge for sure.
It’s funny how people are looking at Stafford now and thinking he’s the same guy as he was in Detroit.
Well, what was the one stat people brought up as an albatross around Stafford’s neck when he was in Detroit?
In his decade plus time there, he only had a running back rush for more than 100 yards in six games.
So, is it Stafford continuing his Detroit eradic play, or is it McVay who sold Stafford a bill of goods claiming he’d have way more than six games of 100 yards plus rushing in a single season?
All Stafford has done is move his family. Same poor coaching except it’s myopic problems now instead of talent problems.
McVay thought he could repeat the Detroit model and have it go well. Run. The. Dang. Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my biggest problem with what's going on. The Rams have rebuilt the Lions in LA!!! One-dimensional, pass happy offense that leaves Stafford susceptible to taking risks and making mistakes. But, I don't think we can put it "all" on McVay. Stafford is the constant in these two scenarios and has to be a part of the problem. I don't know his history in Detroit intimately but it just may be that Stafford is pushing these imbalances considering he's the QB.
Which will be a problem since he and McVay are more buddies than they should be. I mean, does Stafford respect McVay the way someone much older might garner? Or would it be more likely that Stafford thinks he's as much of an authority as McVay because they are of similar age and Stafford has been around longer? I don't think Stafford is being a problem but in terms of human nature, I wonder about the dynamic a little.
It doesn't help that I think Stafford is taking too many risky chances and making mistakes. I don't really know what's causing it though.
