I'd hire him. He's very experienced, been through the school of hard knocks, and has had a good degree of success. In his first year at SF he had a top 10 defense. He'd be very motivated to prove SF wrong and he'd provide intel.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Good admin work is vital to any org. Bad admin weakens operations and overall performance. This guy is experienced in that area. I've got to believe that he has some talent. This could be another piece to help McSnead see clearly. Obviously McVay's weaknesses have not yet been fully corrected. Maybe this guy can fix that.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't get why some want to ding Purdy. His performance proves he was one of the top QBs this past season. Might it be a little jealousy or bias based on a hated opponent? Don't underestimate him and don't lull yourself into a false sense of security. He has, and can certainly continue to beat our ass. We've seen some plain Jane QBs win superbowls because their team has a great defense orby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

I was just a young kid then in Philly and we were all at my grandparents house. My uncle, a huge construction foreman, said our family was going to root for the Packers. So we did. I didn't know much about the game then but we were all very happy cause we won!by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Kupp is worth a 1st round pick. Donald is worth more than any 1st round pick. He's worth at least three 1st round picks. Greatest D tackle of all time shouldn't sell for chump change. Plus, as a fan, there is a good feeling of satisfaction or joy in seeing the great players of our team remain until they retire. I'd be open to trading them but it would have to be for a good chunk more thanby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, he hasn't gotten the praise and appreciation he earned. He was a great Rams' warrior / player.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
That's a nice story, thanks for sharing.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I really liked the video and I so much enjoy watching Kurt Warner. I'm actually sad to see Goff not being the stud I hoped he would be. McVay and Snead were right to trade him for Stafford.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Will he stay if they pay him what's he's worth and can he contribute on special teams? If "no" to either question then trade him to Detroit.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I disliked Campbell from day one and I thought he was an idiot. However, I was wrong and he's done a great job with the Lions. The local Lions' fans are pissed about his terrible errors in coaching last night but they're so proud that they've arrived and no longer live under the shadow of some of their poor records. Yes, they do love Goff.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Previously to the last few years they were Ohio States' whipping boy. I still remember the pain the fans here felt when they lost to Applachia State. I teased a few friends here about it and they took it personal and got sore at me. I stopped the teasing. Sports in Michigan have sucked for so long, throw em a bone!by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
RamR if you're implying that Goff couldn't pull them out of the fire then I have to ask would it be fair to say "no" because in this game it sounds like he was doing the work, but other parts of the team, and coach, screwed it up? When we won the SB, wouldn't the game have changed significantly on some of those drives if there were a couple more drops?by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Thank you for going to the trouble to dig up and post this data. It's interesting and informative. It does show that Raheem isn't bad but rather good or above average. I still think for a past period he kept the corners too far back, but that's history now. Personally, I'm sad he's leaving the Rams.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, I think McVay's stubborness has been a deciding factor in many lost games over the years. I'm not sure he's figured that out.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I thought he was great and I really wanted him to win a SB.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I began to take a closer look at the top rated QBs and as I looked I began to see that McVay certainly deserves to be near the top. He actually rated better than I thought he would. There are several long time coaches with higher winning percentages than McVay but they had strong teams years before McVay came into the league. I did a quick look for all HC winning %s for the last 6 years butby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
That dude in GB has done a better overall job. I also think that Shanahan in Frisco has done an overall better job even though his winning pct. is slightly under McVay's. This season, just like last season, proved that McVay still has his flaws, such as predilection for passing, and neglecting the running game. By now, I expected a coach, who's previously acknowledged those flaws, to have coby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, you're right. My memory tends to color things as I get older, either a bit better or a bit worse. I really liked Wade so I guess that's why he's better in my memory than he really was.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I was just looking back in time remembering how good Wade's D was. I figured by now he'd be drinking choc. malts, playing golf or computer games, and hanging out with his son/family, and enjoying the great life. Glad to hear he's still loving the grind! Good for him.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay and the FO have acted like a swinging pendulum. One year they cut too much, the next they don't cut enough. He learns and improves but at a slower pace. You can't justify keeping a guy who's platoons finished near the bottom and who's performance cost the teams wins. He shoulda kept Wade Phillips.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I've not followed SI for many years but I remember them drifting away from purely covering sports, to mixing political themes and other social issues in with sports or as stand alone articles. My memory is a little fuzzy but I think they brought this slow death upon themselves. I do remember reading some great in-depth articles and really enjoying what I read.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay is tied for 9th in winning percentage. That is NOT elite unless you don't know the definition of elite. He's very good, above average, and that's it. Let's face it, he's shown that so far in his career he is unable to get beyond the pass play mentality. Once in a while he makes a correction but after a little success he reverts back. He needs a rescue intervention, i.e. some people tby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
This season was a win. Our team exceeded most expectations. McVay and many players, young and old, proved above and beyond their worth.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

I have a low opinion of professional journalists and talking heads. If you're very knowledgeable in a field and a professional journalist writes about it odds are that they're going to do a poor job. These guys are required to churn out work on topics they like and don't like. They don't always have the passion and energy for a given topic, the result is pig slop. Most, not all, journalisby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
You said it well Ramp. This isn't about snowflakes, it's about McVay's poor handling of a sensitive situation. Everyone knows it could and should have been handled better. I've worked with some people who were real (insert bad word here) and they abused many people under their rule. Later on, some realized they made mistakes and apologized to the wronged people, some didn't. I respect thosby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
