McVay interview: Fitz & Whit

[PhillyRam]

Will Howard could be that guy if he’s still around when pick 100ish comes around.

Yep, he and McCord are two others. Not sure what the knock on Howard is, maybe overall accuracy? He has size & mobility and he won big, albeit with a great roster.

As Breer pointed out, it's not just picks... it's picks + longterm cap health, which creates a longer window, on one side, vs Stafford and being close to win it now.

Its an interesting situation really.
Extending the window with a young team, picks and cap space certainly makes sense (and speaks to McVay being here long term)....however, replacing Stafford with a player who may never come close to ability.....do have much of window?

The organization would have to have the belief that they can find that player fir a longterm answer and that McVay can develop him. Much like Shanahan did with Purdy.

First - excellent interview.Glad Mcvay brought up John Sullivan,he meant a lot basically as a construction work of the foundation.

The Troy Reeder story of Whit getting so pissed off.Joe Barry was the LBer coach then w/Staley.
(Guess)

IMO - Matthew Stafford holds a lot of the cards.There is no guarantee what The Rams will look like with & without him right now!!

 

[So Ram]

Agreed. He will feel that change at QB if it happens but he's the guy to have running this show.

Yeah - maybe so at times. It depends on his replacement??

It’s got to happen sometime.What your call. Is there an option you like more than another??

Do WE remember the end of 2020 ?
What was the drama like then ??

I have a different opinion on things than some(most),but after KC’s run & looking back w/ NE it might be changing ? At least to win the Superbowl.

 

[So Ram]

"FUCKING DIME" No fucking way they let him go. Everyone is just doing their due diligence.

Well don’t be surprised!!! Once you start hearing whispers they begin to be heard.

I see the Raiders & Brady(Stafford) & then this photo.There other connections all over the place.

Vegas is only 45 minutes from LA.

 

[AZRams]

I don’t like Rodgers as a person but he is a bridge option should Stafford be traded. Not so with most other available vets.

Everything he touches in the last 4 seasons turns to shit. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near that...

 

[WestCoastRam]

Was the toxic culture killing nonsense a product of where he was or has he always been known for this. It seemed to me that he was trying to take charge because it was the f'ing Jets, a notoriously poorly run/owned team with a very weak head coach. I could be wrong on that, I Just don't remember this as a problem in Green Bay.

I wouldn't bother with Rodgers unless you could get him very very cheap and he would compete with Jimmy G. He is 41 and might have 1 year left in him, maybe. It would be a dumb risk to take him on anything but the cheap imo...

He's always been known as a hard guy to deal with then later in his career as toxic in GB. It's not an either or NY. Both he and the Jets were toxic with each other.

I love that McSnead have hubris and are willing to try things other teams aren't and think they can do what other people can't... but I worry about Rodgers as being a guy McVay thinks he can handle and it being harder than he thinks.

 

[ScotsRam]

I listened to the whole thing. It's clear that everyone's preference is a deal with the Rams. I'm more convinced than ever that he's gauging his market. The Rams will let another team set the market and will get near enough to that number that Matt stays here. IMO.

Hit me up if y'all need the lottery numbers.
