I think Kyle Brants view is the most interesting of the three. I agree with Schrager. I'm sure McVay is pumped. I agree with Burleson. Not having to cater to salaries or status, he might be even more dangerous. Brandt pointed out we lost Gurley, Cooks, Peters, Talib, Suh, Littleton...he forgot Fowler but he's pointed out McVay has NEVER had a first round pick "because they keep mortgaging their ever living future". Is that a bad thing? They mortgage their ever living present, not future and there's a difference. Those with confidence and balls worry about the NOW. Sure, mortgaging that in the form of first round picks, every year, might damage a normal HC. But if McVay is the best coach in the world, as Brandt says they've been touting him, then this is much ado about nothing. He compares him to Belichick, which in itself, whether you like BB or not, is a huge compliment. Yeah, I agree. It's going to be an interesting season. My money is on McVay, not because I'm a hopeless homer...I am....but because everything anybody has said about McVay is pretty damn accurate. He was touted as "all that" and went 11-5. He was regarded as an instant wiz by year two and he went 13-3 and made it to the Superbowl. And with all the problems they had on both offense and defense last year, documented ad nauseum, McVay guided the team to a 9-7 record. We were out of it by week 17 but when it's all said and done, we were 1 win away from the postseason. It wasn't as good as it sounds but damn man, it was close. That's on a bad year. McVay may not have first round picks but he and Les don't do bad. This year's crop looks extremely promising. Why? Because, 9-7 with no playoffs or not, we know McVay too. Is there anybody in Ramland who's seriously doubting what this guy is capable of?
