Mostly you're not wrong, but AD is more than elite, imo. I know Gold Jacket wearers Howie Long and Michael Strahan are in awe of him, per this video from two years ago....
That’s exactly the point, There’s a difference between the chris longs and Robert Quinn’s of the world and AD. You can always find more of the longs and Quinn’s but we are literally talking about the greatest of all time with AD. It’s unlikely there will be another to reach this level of dominance in my lifetime. I agree with the premise to what you’re saying and if we were talking about essentially any other player I’d agree.
Arguments can be made on both sides of this discussion. Bruce Arians just won a SB and I doubt many around here would call him a great coach same with Doug Pederson hell he's on the hot seat a few years later. I'd say our chances are as good with a different coach and this roster as they are with McVay without AD. That defense is nowhere near what it was last year without AD as we saw in Green Bay. But what could a young mind like Brian Daboll or Lincoln Reilly or a few others do with this team that's been built up?
Your avatar's-sake and Merlin didn't have a winning season for like their first 5-6 years until whiz "kid" George Allen arrived in 1966. Allen was let go after the 1970 season. Allen never had a losing season as an NFL HC and won the NFC Championship once with the Redskins, just as McVay has with the Rams. The point being that Deacon and Merlin were with losing teams before the great George Allen, but outlasted him in the organization....Like I think AD will outlast McVay with the Rams.
As good as McVay is, he is replaceable because good coaches are always rising to the top. AD can be replaced, but only with inferior talent....
And how many players from that Fisher era are still here? Three? AD Hekker and Brockers? Fifty players have turned over it's not just a new coach with that team.

Arians is a great coach. Not even remotely surprised to see him finally win a Super Bowl. And if I'm the owner and he gets into a spat with Brady I'd be in my coach's corner without a doubt.
Are you kidding me? Unless the stars aligned as they did where Brady wanted to seperate from Bellicheats shadow, no way Ariens sniffs a championship. He was a blowhard as coach of the Cards and then quit on them. You have more respect for that hunk of shyte that I certainly have...
A good GM selects good HC's. Good HC's rise from the lower ranks every year. Those like AD arise every twenty years, if that. So no, the obvious answer is the otherworldly 3 Tech DT from Planet Kick-Ass.
Yeah and the Rams agree thankfully. Just look at the difference in the Eagles vs the Rams. Eagles paid their QB early and got burned, Head Coach wants to move on at QB so they fire him. Rams make exactly the same mistake in paying their QB early and getting burned, but when their Head Coach wants to move on they move the QB even though his big contract hasn't even kicked in.
I hate his fat, red face just as much as you. I just acknowledge his skills. Ariens has been behind deep playoff runs for a long time, the guy is a quality coach. He's a dickhead too of course.
But the fact remains, without Brady there is no World Championship in Tampon...I hate his fat, red face just as much as you. I just acknowledge his skills. Ariens has been behind deep playoff runs for a long time, the guy is a quality coach. He's a dickhead too of course.
