People don't understand that there must be a unique relationship between the QB and the HC/OC to make things work. McVay inherited Goff and spent years trying to force him into his own mold of what he wanted. Instead of playing to his strengths and developing his QB that is not what McVay wanted.
Now he has Stafford who in many respects embodies that alter ego McVay wants. We will now see if McVay's offense is really as good as advertised. I'm among those that say, McVay has no more excuses. His whipping boy is gone. He's now implementing the OL changes he should have done last year but instead, he set Goff up for failure to force Snead's hand.
I like McVay but I'm not blind to his faults. All great coaches have their own issues. Belichek is on his way to the HOF but he's without a doubt a micro-managing SOB. Success blinds people to those idiosyncrasies and so be it with Sean McVay. Success blinds people and failure puts him under a microscope.
The bottom line is that the relationship between Stafford and McVay is important and can't be underestimated. That's why this offense has all the earmarks of a championship-caliber scheme with the right people at the right places to implement it. It's why I expect nothing but championship play from this team.
I expect Carberry to produce a top 10 OL giving this team a strong and consistent run attack. With a strong run game, defenses won't be able to simply play pass first like they did with Goff. Sean loves balance and now he has all the elements in place to make it happen. Morris has the talent on D to win shootouts. Media evaluators consistently underestimate this roster simply because they haven't bothered to really take the time to evaluate it.
Unfortunately, as good as Warner is in breaking down the past, this is a new team with new dimensions on both sides of the ball. They have a rebuilt OL which looks to be better than last year's, they have a new DC who will probably run a more conventional 3-4 hybrid scheme with some of Staley's elements incorporated. They will be stronger on the DL opposite Floyd and with Robinson as the starter they will be better and more consistent in the middle.
Team speed has been drastically increased on both sides but especially on offense. Looking at the past for clues, on offense makes sense if you look at 2018 for clues. This offense will be closer to that one. This defense could be the best the Rams have fielded in a long long time. Prognosticators need to look where this team could go, not where they have been the last 2 years.
