No surprise. The guy went to the Super Bowl with Garoppolo at QB. And Purdy would probably be sitting on someone's bench having never received an opportunity elsewhere.
 
The difference between elite OCs and everybody else is that elite OCs scheme the first read open which makes a QBs life so much easier. Other OCs look at a playsheet and say "here run this play". There is a big difference. Archuletta points this out perfectly.

One of the criticisms of non-McShannahan offenses is that there's not a ton of easy buttons to spam. Things like motion, play-action, screens and RPOs (though we really don't use them much in this offense).

It's criminal what some of these young QBs have had to deal with when they are playing in static offenses with no quick answers or play-action to make reads easier. The QB just has to make the play "right."

Interestingly, good hot reads are a thing that can really help with spamming the easy button BUT I don't think our offense uses them much. I'm pretty sure McVay believes in having the playcall have the answer to the coverages already without designating hot and changing a route. This was an issue for Goff at the end, not seeing the field well enough to get to the answer within the playcall when he was required to drop back more and not just use play action.

(Though I don't think Ben Johnson's offense has hots either, think Goff legit got better at reading the field partly by his work as a drop back passer with Johnson.

I'll go with the poll that put McVay #1
