Watching the Falcons I am crying that we didn't wait for Shanahan. Goff is a Matty Ice clone, just imagine what he could have turned this kid into. I pray that I'm wrong about McVay, I like his confidence and he carries himself well but Shanahan is pretty special.

How do we know Dan Quinn isn't the reason? Everyone praising Shanny now its counter productive bringing negativity into the forum. Lets stop with the Shanny BS.

There are many good coordinators that aren't good head coaches.
Frisco can have him

Absolutely! Don't want Shanahan no matter how much the MVP QB and one of the top 5 WR's in the NFL carry his butt towards a Super Bowl bid.

Yep. I'm still excited. Waiting for Shanahan means no Wade Phillips. McVay did great things with Kirk Cousins (more than Kyle Shanahan did). We'll be fine.

I'll take Sean McVay & Wade Phillips over Kyle Shanahan & Mike Pettine or fill in the blank!

I'm THRILLED.

McVay's BY FAR the best fit. BAR NONE.

Shanahan is a fantastic OC, but nothing I've seen changes anything for me that he would be the best fit for the Rams as our HC.

He wouldn't be bringing the best DC in all of football.

He wouldn't have nearly as good an overall staff.

He doesn't have the presence that McVay does.

He won't inspire our rookies/young players like McVay will.

Shanahan has done well, but let's not dismiss how important the structure of Dan Quinn's is.

From a pattern perspective, I have significant doubts that Shanahan succeeds without that structure especially with the ownership situation in SF.

But even here, McVay will always be a package deal....at the very least McVay and Philips.

It'll be very interesting to see who Shanahan can get as his DC and fill out his defensive staff.

So, yeah. I'm excited. More than excited. Thrilled. Giddy, even.

Atlanta dropping 50-burgers on GB and in the Super Bowl won't change a thing for me in that respect.

I don't understand that logic (Do I still like McVay or should they have waited for Shanahan)...But to each his own.,..I'm just fine where they are...

Hell yes I'm excited. This move has brought back more passion than I had all of last season. I never wanted Shannaha, is dad is too close with Fisher. I want zero cconnection.

"Kyle knows ball, but he is just so petty and he picks fights and holds grudges over small stuff," the source said. "He's a mountain out of a molehill guy, and he's got entitlement syndrome. That's why we ended up hiring all of his close friends and buddies, so no one can challenge him. But it makes you worse in the long run, because there is no accountability."

He has character issues.

Look closely and see which coach the player has his arm around?

I'm more upset when I see Julio and Jake Matthews out there.

I don't care if wide receivers are overrated and cost too much. I would kill to have a Julio type on this team.
